Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) On February 20, 2014, the film crew was filming a dream sequence on a train trestle. However, a CSX freight train came while filming. As the crew got off the trestle, the train hit second assistant camera woman Sarah Jones, and injured 7 others. It was later discovered that director Randall Miller and other members of the crew didn't ask permission to film on the trestle, despite their claim. The filmmakers were charged with involuntary manslaughter, and criminal trespassing, as well as being cited by OSHA for "serious" and "willful" safety violations. On March 9, 2015, Miller pled guilty to felony involuntary manslaughter, and received a 10-year sentence, which he served one year, followed by probation.

Result

 * As of 2021, there are currently no plans to continue filming.
