Principal filming of the live action scenes was completed in Romania with a new cast, and Allen continued to work on the post-production and stop-motion effects until his untimely death from cancer in 1999, which effectively left the film cancelled
In 2018, an Indiegogo campaign was set up by Charles Band's production and distribution company Full Moon Features in order to complete the film and release it on home media in Allen's honour.[1] It is currently unclear when (or if) the completed version of the film will be released, however various sources (such as Allen's Wikipedia page and IMDB) list the film as being set to release some time in 2021.
