After news of Leslie Nielsen’s passing, director Bryan Waterman has come out of the woodwork claiming to have the last film Nielsen ever worked on.
The film is not complete as it was an animated feature that Neilsen voiced a part it. His performance was complete but the film ran out of money before they were able to animate it.
Leslie Nielsen’s last movie — a small budget animated film — may never see the light of day … because after Leslie voiced his part … producers couldn’t afford to pay for the final animation.
Nielsen finished his voice work over a year ago, according to the director of the movie, Bryan Waterman. He tells TMZ that a “great deal” of production still has to be done before the movie can be released — and by a “great deal” he means the majority of the animation.
It might be sad, but bringing attention to this unfinished project that Nielsen was involved with might be the event that gets someone to finance it.
Hollywood is made of vultures that would strike at the opportunity to promote a film only after its main star has died.
Hopefully if it does get made, the movie will be good and fitting to Nielsen’s career, and not a money grab crapfest that just monopolized on the news of his passing.
