A star-studded movie musical about the childhood of Pharrell Williams has been permanently shuttered and will not see release in any capacity.

The project in question is “Golden,” originally titled “Atlantis,” and was directed by Michel Gondry (“Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”). It boasts a heavyweight cast of chart toppers and an Oscar winner, including: Kelvin Harrison Jr., Halle Bailey, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Brian Tyree Henry, Janelle Monáe, Missy Elliott, Quinta Brunson, Anderson .Paak and Jaboukie Young-White.

The project was reportedly shut down after unanimous agreement from producers and Gondry that the film did not live up to its developed conceit. 

Sources familiar with the situation said Universal will absorb roughly $20 million in costs already spent on production.

Dang that is a big loss, wondering why we need a LEGO biopic of Pharrell and then a film about his childhood. Would it have done well??

That cast is iconic. I want whoever made this dumb decision to get beat up a few times.

He already released a Lego movie… He wanted to make another movie about his life…. A lil self centered much… Good it was cancelled.
