It’s come to this. A movie about missing Malaysia Airlines Fight MH370 called The Vanishing Act is already in the works. Even though no one knows what happened to the plane, or even what caused it to disappear, Hollywood hacks are already planning to make a movie. In fact, there’s even a trailer of the movie released to Variety. The Vanishing Act trailer premiered at Cannes 2014 and is directed by Rupesh Paul

No word how much input Wolf Blitzer, Anderson Cooper and Don Lemon of CNN had in the creation of this movie, since they spent the entire months of March and April covering the missing plane.
One of the more unusual projects being pitched at this year’s Cannes Film Festival is “The Vanishing Act,” Indian director Rupesh Paul’s drama based on missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370.
On Saturday afternoon, Paul presented his film idea to financiers with a 90-second teaser trailer, which features a cast of terrified passengers aboard a turbulent jetliner. He also had a poster with the tag line, “The untold story of the vanished Malaysian flight.”
After Flight 370 disappeared on March 8, Paul said that he was contacted by a Malaysian journalist with a theory about what happened. Paul then spent 20 days working on a screenplay with an ending that incorporated this idea. According to Paul, the journalist, who insists on anonymity for now, is one of the film’s investors.
