Does not satisfy film notability guidelines. See the guidelines on unreleased films, which are only notable if production has itself been notable. The article does not state whether principal photography has begun, but the start of principal photography only opens a window if it has itself been notable, and that is not mentioned.

The article states that the film is expected to hit the theaters in early 2020. If the Gregorian calendar is used in the normal way, early 2020 is finished, and the film is still described as in the works. Sometimes films remain in the works for a long time; see development limbo.

There are conflict of interest issues about this article and about the article on the production company, Working Class Hero (film production company). They are not in themselves reason to delete, but they are a reason to apply notability guidelines strictly, and there is no notability, so that this looks promotional.

Google search finds this article and IMDB, which says it is in pre-production. We knew that. The Google search doesn't tell us anything new. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:58, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
