Was The Charlton Comics Documentary Ever Made?

 


I was asked whatever happened to the Charlton Comics movie?  I posted the 2017 trailer here: https://hoopercomicart.blogspot.com/2017/04/charlton-comics-movie-official-hd.html

Lots of comic pros were dragged out as  evidenced from this video https://hoopercomicart.blogspot.com/2017/04/history-of-charlton-comics-charlton.html

The last post on their web page was 2019 in which it was said they had completed the documentary and were in post production. That was it. Apparently a lot of financial contributions but no documentary only short clips of interviews. You can check these out here: https://www.charltonmovie.com/charlton-theatre

Fans were asking what happened and although I did try contacting them in 2020, 2021 and 2022 there were no responses and according to Charlton fans who spoke to some of the pros involved responses went from "I do not want to discuss that" to Neal Adams allegedly stating "it left a nasty taste in my mouth".

I ought to add that although the people responsible said everything was ready for post production and they needed more funds to do that they were looking for an intern to do the editing for free.

Some fan opinions on what went on are quite strong and as we have not heard from the documentary producers themselves we have no idea if a documentary was made. I did try their email as well as their FB messenger in the last couple days....nothing.
