Warner Bros. Won’t Release New Finished Film – Report

Warner Bros. will not be releasing a new finished film, it seems. Multiple reports claim that Warner Bros. is no longer planning to release director Genndy Tartakovsky’s adult animated film Fixed , but it could still see the light of day.

Previously, Warner Bros. did not release the live-action Batgirl or the animated Coyote Vs. Acme , both of which were completed. Those films were shelved in part for tax deduction purposes as parent company Warner Bros. Discovery looks to turn its business around. The company’s stock is trading around $7 today, August 9, a 70% decline over the past five years.

Fixed comes from Sony Pictures Animation, with Warner Bros. originally signed on to distribute. However, the rights have reverted to Sony. Fixed could still be released, as Deadline said Netflix could buy it.

Puck News was the first to report that Warner Bros. would not be releasing Fixed. The film studio has not yet publicly commented on the matter.

Fixed is described as an adult animated comedy that tells the story of a dog named Bull. He discovers he’s going to be neutered, so he goes on one last adventure to enjoy his last 24 hours “with his balls.” Adam Devine voices Bull, with a cast that also includes Idris Elba, Kathryn Hahn, Bobby Moynihan, Fred Armisen, Beck Bennett, Michelle Buteau and River Gallo.

Tartakovsky, the director, previously worked on the highly successful animated films Hotel Transylvania for Sony. He is also known for his work on the TV shows Dexter’s Laboratory and Johnny Bravo.
