WP:TOOSOON article about an upcoming film, not yet sourced as the subject of enough reliable source coverage to exempt it from the primary notability criteria for films at WP:NFO.
As always, Wikipedia does not want to indiscriminately maintain an article about every single film project that enters the production pipeline -- we permit that for exceptionally high profile projects (Star Wars, Marvel, etc.) that get a lot of coverage during the production process, but for most films we need to wait until they've been released for the purposes of having critical attention and/or notable awards.
But the sourcing here consists of one casting announcement, one Q&A interview with the star in which he briefly namechecks this film's existence without saying anything substantive or notability-building about it except that it exists, and one primary source PDF "rumour list" of projects in the pipeline which is not a notability-supporting source at all.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation if and when it actually gets released and can start showing proper film reviews, but neither the substance nor the sourcing on offer here are already enough today. Bearcat (talk) 14:45, 30 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I think it needs an update, rather than a delete. Here's some reviews:

Keep – According to some sources, the film has already commenced and finished principal photography, so it meets WP:NFF. This article from August 27, 2020, which provides significant coverage, states that "Solitary releases August 31st". However, this apparently did not come into fruition, as this source from December 3, 2020 states that the film "is currently in post production." This article also provides significant coverage, in my opinion. This source provides a few paragraphs of non-interview coverage, and may not constitute significant coverage. Still, with two in-depth, independent reliable sources, the film meets the minimum requirements of WP:NFSOURCES and WP:GNG. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 04:37, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
