The reason the page wasn't created was because currently the film fails WP:NFF; the production has not been seen to be notable. The only things we have from reliable sources is a basic idea of what the writers want to do (which was well before they finished the script) and a list of the actors. There is no detail on the production itself, which we don't even have a reliable source confirming a start date, or one for the release date of the film.
