Have you heard about that movie that was supposed to come out last summer?

Yeah, I remember it, but I think it was unfilmed due to scheduling issues.

That's such a bummer; I was really looking forward to it.

Same here! Hopefully, they'll find a way to get it made soon.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unfilmed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "film" (from Old English *filme*, meaning a thin layer or membrane). The word "unfilmed" means not having been recorded on film or not having a film layer.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'film' layer — that's why unfilmed means something that hasn't been recorded on film.
