Hypnotic (upcoming film)
Unreleased film that has been "upcoming" since this article was written in 2019 by a disruptive now-blocked user, and does not satisfy general notability or film notability. There is nothing in this article that either implies significant coverage or indicates a release date. The name-drops of a well-known director and a better-known star do not inherit notability. The mention of the start and end of principal photography is also a name-drop, because of the myth that films are notable after principal photography. What the guideline really says is that films are not notable before principal photography, and are only notable after principal photography and before release if production itself passes general notability. The article says nothing about production except that it happened, and the references do not provide independent or secondary coverage. The references are mostly announcements of signings and other advance publicity.

This article belongs in draft space, and can be reviewed for article space if and when the film is released. (At this point it may be in post-production limbo.) I am not unilaterally draftifying it because it has been in article space for three years (where it was put by a noiw-blocked disruptive editor), and because it is adequately sourced although the sources are crud.
