Netflix Scraps Sci-Fi Film ‘The Mothership’ After Multiple Delays

After multiple post-production delays, the troubled feature starring Halle Berry gets shelved; story follows a family’s pursuit of the truth after discovering a strange extraterrestrial object underneath their home.

The troubled sci-fi film The Mothership has been officially scrapped at Netflix. The project, which finished filming in 2021 but faced multiple post-production delays, stars Halle Berry, Molly Parker, and Omari Hardwick.

Matthew Charman (Bridge of Spies) directed and penned the film centering on Sara Morse (Berry), who discovers a strange extraterrestrial object underneath their home a year after her husband’s mysterious disappearance. She and her kids are then thrown into a race to find their husband, father, and the truth.

MRC and Automatik produced the wayward film, with Magic Lab and One Of Us credited as creating the otherworldly VFX.

Berry continues to team with Netflix on The Union, an action film following the down-to-Earth construction worker Mike (Mark Wahlberg) who is quickly thrust into the world of super spies and secret agents when his high school ex-girlfriend Roxanne (Berry) recruits him on a high-stakes US intelligence mission.
