Getty Images Netflix has paused pre-production on Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington‘s “Hannibal” film.
Variety previously reported that the historical epic was planning a summer shoot in Italy, with Fuqua directing and Washington starring as the Carthaginian general, who, as the official logline explains, “is widely regarded as one of the greatest military commanders in history.” However, the war movie — which was in early pre-production — has been put on pause while the producers, including Fuqua and Washington, and the studio hammer out budgetary concerns. The hope is for the project to move forward at Netflix once the concerns are addressed.
