Comment: No more empty sections. However, there is a redirect blocking a mainspace page move which will need to be taken care of first. I've already requested G6 speedy deletion for the redirect. Bennv123 (talk) 16:41, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Also, please note that mainspace articles are not allowed to presumptively link in to this draft as if it were already a completed article. If and when it's approved and moved to mainspace, then appropriate links can be added to the mainspace title -- but so long as it's still in draft, other mainspace articles are not allowed to already link to the draft in advance of the draft's approval.

- Comment: Are you planning to actually add some premise and cast information? A Wikipedia article about a film should not have empty sections like this; you need to actually fill those sections out with actual information before this can be approved. The film has already premiered and has reviews and an IMDb profile, so it's not as though the premise and cast list are unknown -- that information is available, so there's no reason to skip it.
