Howling Arrow not finished

[Michael Kistner]

I wonder for a long time about that entry:

Now I found that in the web:

I guess we can delete the movie.

By the way:
In recent times, I notice many cast lists with mistakes of recent films. I guess some editors add cast information published before the movie is released (or even before production) like it does imdb.com. It is all right - but please delete later the cast which did not make it into the final film!!!

In my humble opinion unfinished movies should not be removed. Even IMDB has listed unfinished movies like "I Claudius" (1937)- Maybe we should create a poll.

I'm okay with keeping - with some sort of signifier.
Maybe annotate with [*] in the title and a brief note in the alias, e.g.,*-Unreleased, *-Incomplete, *-whatever, etc. for searchable follow up, research. (Unfortunately, the Plot Summary section can get wiped out/cleared, I've discovered, when doing edits under Basic Info if one is not very careful).

Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" (aptly, named) has been in limbo since 2009. awaiting approval from authorities for release, negotiated edits. And John Woo's Pacific Steamer or whatever it's called now was stuck in copyright, investor, and other delay issues for a few years has finally started production. Ha Jin's novel, Waiting, adaptation with CYF was announced and kicked around for a couple years before dying away.

If we add [*] in the title maybe we should add [unfinished] in the title. Is the same bad thing "*" than "unfinished" in the title.

Is the same bad thing "*" than "unfinished" in the title.

I don't understand...

I think we should remove this movie because:
A) According to Mike Leeder it was not only never finished, it didn't even enter the production
B) Our database does not have so much options and details about the movies as IMDB and the surface of the DB isn't built for so many additional info, so in my opinion "unfinished" movies will just confuse.
If you want adding something in the title using square brackets, it's better to be something like [TV-series], [mini-series] or [short].

As I said, I'm also vote to delete the movie.

About the second matter I mentioned: such cast lists are the result:

Love in Space (2011)
Cast
Aaron Kwok Fu-Sing ... Michael Chen
Eason Chan Yik-Shun ... Johnny Chen
......
Miao Pu ... [not credited in movie & not seen]
Hou Yong (3) ... [not credited in movie & not seen]
Kate Tsui Tsz-Shan ... [not credited in movie & not seen]
Pau Hei-Ching ... [not credited in movie & not seen]
Kenny Wong Tak-Ban ... [not credited in movie & not seen]
Guan Xiao-Tong ... [not credited in movie]

Is the same bad thing "*" than "unfinished" in the title.

I don't understand...

Is the same thing:

Howling Arrow*
Howling Arrow [*]
Howling Arrow [unfinished]

Maybe this should be voted.

I think unfinished movies should be in our DB unless they were abandoned in pre-producion (before filming 1 scene)
