Overall: 
I, personally, think that the ALT0 is much more interesting than ALT1. I also think that another ALT can be written from this part of the article: One crew member told The Daily Beast, "They're not keeping people in the loop with the script. When people finally receive the script, they've dropped out really fast. After people started dropping out, they said, 'OK, don't send people the scripts anymore.' Instead, they've been changing lines and scenes before they shoot." Beyoncetan 2 (talk) 11:49, 9 July 2018 (UTC)
- Comment: I'm leaning oppose. The Daily Beast is not RS.– Lionel(talk) 03:14, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- @Lionelt: If Daily Beast is non-RS, then so are any left-wing publications e.g. HuffPost, The NYT. Tks, Slightlymad (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:13, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- You said it, not me! (kidding) Daily Beast has been described as "hyper-partisan" and comparable to Breitbart. Opinions at RSN are not positive. I think we can do better for the Main Page, don't you? – Lionel(talk) 04:21, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- I see. I shall amend those claims backed by Daily Beast immediately. However, I will leave the direct quotation from their website as it's a legit interview from one of the persons involved in the movie; the crew member was not interviewed by other websites. Tks, Slightlymad (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:33, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- I'd also like to follow up that I will not be removing the Daily Beast citations supporting the Cast section. I can't find any RS that has a reasonably complete report of the character roles the actors are going to play. Besides, MOS:FILM demands that this section be supported with citations. Tks, Slightlymad (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:56, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- Alright Lionelt, I have left the Daily Beast sources to support the Cast section but amended those sources backed by the website with another RS. Tks, Slightlymad (talk ⋅ contribs) 06:11, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- Well, now we have a POV issue. The cast members resigned from the film because pro-abortion people harassed them and because the actors felt that they would face career discrimination from appearing in a pro-life film. According to your source, in general, problems with production, including shooting locations becoming unavailable, actually had to do with discrimination against pro-life people.– Lionel(talk) 06:21, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- Alveda King, MLK Jr.'s niece, had a similar hunch, apparently. I've expanded on this by quoting her directly from her Fox News interview. Let me know if that's fine. Tks, Slightlymad (talk ⋅ contribs) 07:57, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
Since there is some disagreement about the hook fact, I'm returning this nomination to
WP:DYKN until the issues are worked out.

- @Slightlymad: It has been over a month since this was returned from prep, have you been able to address the article concerns? Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:30, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
- I unfortunately don't have time to continue this process, Narutolovehinata5. If no one can take up the mantle here and closing is the only other option rn, so be it. Tks, Slightlymad (talk ⋅ contribs) 04:40, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
Noted. It appears that the nominator has stated that they will be unable to improve the article; as such, this is now marked for closure as withdrawn/unsuccessful. Narutolovehinata5 tccsdnew 04:42, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
