Prepare yourselves...some amazing test footage and proof of concept footage has leaked..UGH.
Honestly, this looks like something that would be really cool but bomb super hard at the box office.

The price tag for this film was $170m, that's way too much for a studio to invest in a project like this.
Apologies if this has been mentioned, but if I recall correctly WETA Digital would have taken over production on the next stage.

Yup. As cool as the action looks, this movie would have bombed super hard in the current box office climate.Just make it an animated movie instead.
I can easily see how it was cancelled. This has bomb written over it.
$170 Million budget? I woulda killed it too.
Mouse Guard is great and all, but not $170 million great.
those mice in that vid look extremely ugly though. i would never watch 2 hours of that.
So? Did that finally make back its budget?
Ah, thought you were saying otherwise. My bad.Nope. Which is why Disney canning a $170M CG movie with mice isn't shocking.

Gary posted his full script for the movie. Doesn't look like there's any hope of it being picked up.
that's not why it was canned though. it's only pre-vis, they weren't going to use any of the models you see in teh videoFaces of the mice too uncanny/human. should have went for cuter/more animal-like. I can see why it didn't make it past the starting gates..
I'd hope not! But even then, I have been more uncomfortable!that's not why it was canned though. it's only pre-vis, they weren't going to use any of the models you see in teh video
as much as I would love for a feature film in UE4, no one is going to commit to that. especially not at $170M. there's a reason why you never see previs, cause if you thought this was bad, most can be worse
