Gigantic movie production status: Shutdown
October 10, 2017 · All activity halted for this project. In some cases, shutdown movies restart development. The project has been shelved. As Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios president Ed Catmull explains: "It's impossible to know when we begin a project how the creative process will unfold, and sometimes, no matter how much we love an idea or how much heart goes into it, we find that it just isn’t working. With Gigantic, we've come to that point, and although it's a difficult decision, we are ending active development for now (Hollywood Reporter, 10/10/17)."
