Studio Pulls the Plug on Gerard Butlers Drama Motor City


Sad news for Gerard Butler fans. His latest film, the revenge drama “Motor City,” has just been pulled out of production and shelved for good. The reason for pulling the plug is, as always, money.

Deadline reports that the movie, which would have also starred Mickey Rourke and Adrien Brody, has had a very troubled production but, even in this circumstance, pulling the plug on it came as a shock.

“Motor City stalled after the film’s backers, Emmett/Furla Films, Envision Entertainment, and Mark Damon’s Foresight Entertainment, realized at the last moment that the release date given them by Warner Bros through its deal with Joel Silver’s Dark Castle turned out to be a drop dead date,” the e-zine writes.

“Production was to start September 17th, meaning the film could only have 12 weeks of post production. It wasn’t enough time,” adds the report.

It was either that, pulling the plug completely on the film, or compromise it by rushing it to release. Producers opted for the latter.
