- Brendan Fraser expressed his disappointment regarding Warner Bros.' decision to cancel the completed DC superhero film 'Batgirl,' in which he was set to portray the villain Firefly alongside Leslie Grace as the lead character. In a recent interview with the Associated Press, Fraser highlighted the broader implications of this cancellation, suggesting it reflects a troubling trend in Hollywood where films are treated as commodities rather than artistic endeavors.
- This cancellation raises concerns about the future of creative projects in the industry, as Fraser noted that the decision to shelve 'Batgirl' exemplifies a mindset where it may be seen as more profitable to destroy completed works for insurance payouts rather than releasing them. This trend could have significant repercussions for filmmakers and actors, potentially stifling creativity and innovation in Hollywood.
