WP:TOOSOON article about a not-yet-released television film, not yet demonstrated as the subject of sufficient production coverage to exempt it from the primary notability criteria at WP:NFO. As always, we do not want to keep or maintain an article about every single film that enters the production pipeline -- with some admitted exceptions for upcoming films that get a lot of production coverage, films normally aren't notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia until they're actually released and garnering critical reviews.
But the volume and depth of sourcing here isn't sufficient to establish pre-release notability; there are just four footnotes, of which two come from unreliable non-WP:GNG sources like Nickandmore (a kids' TV blog) and Narcity (sort of a Canadian Huffington Post), and a third comes from a teen pop-culture magazine and essentially just verifies that the film is in production without actually saying anything very substantive or notability-building about it. So there's only one genuinely solid and notability-supporting source here, and that's not enough. (And even if we overlook the issues with the teenybop magazine and accept it as a second notability-assisting source anyway, two acceptable sources still isn't enough sourcing to override NFO.)
Obviously no prejudice against recreation next year if there's sufficient coverage once it's released, but this isn't enough for it to already have an article now. And since this is a spinoff of a television series that already has an article of its own at Life with Derek, any content about it can simply be contained there until there's enough solid sourcing to spin a separate article back out for the film.
