'Motor City' Shuts Down Production
on Friday, March 15, 2013 |
Gerard Butler's upcoming film Motor City has shut down production before filming even started on the flick.
“Faced with the realities of a very short post-production schedule and complicated visual and special effects, the producers have decided to push back production on Albert Hughes’ Motor City,” a spokesperson for the film told Deadline. “The circumstances surrounding this project made it impossible to meet the firm March 31st delivery date without compromising the quality of the film.”
Motor City had been in pre-production before the producers sent the crew packing after learning that Warner Bros. release date for the film would allow only 12 weeks of post-production, which was not feasible. The producers reportedly hope to go forward with the film in the future.
