What is the best way to fix a messed up entry for a film? (Termination 2019)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10319676/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

the IMDB entry for the film TERMINATION is a mash up/mix up of TWO different movies  both titled "Termination" One from 2019 and one from 2020 (not to be confused with the SHORT also TITLED "Termination" which is also from 2020).

1) The Poster is from Termination (film) which is the 2019 Anthology film made by a series of International directors.  2) The Synposis and much of the data is from the 2020 Feature film (which I'm not sure has been released yet)

3) since the POSTER image is from the 2019 "Anthology" film, nearly all of the comments or user reviews are from people referencing the Anthology film, not the 2020 Feature film.

I have the full credit listing from Termination (2019) (the sci fi Anthology film) which I want use to update to the entry.   the entire cast/crew listing for this page is wrong.  it's for the other feature movie of the same name, not the 2019 anthology movie.   Do I just create a new page for the Termination (2020) film and port a bunch of the existing (but wrong) information over to that new entry?  Will that cause controversy?

What happened to all the comments on this post?  Where are the IMDB Mods?

The previous reply may have been from a user whose account has been deleted.

lt may still be worth waiting for a reply from IMDb staff, but otherwise your plan to add a new title sounds right.

I'm not sure though if you have all the details right. An earlier version of the same page lists a 2019 short film:

Peter.  Thanks so much!  That link proves what I suspected.  Someone made a page for the other film, and others unknowingly populated it with information from the feature film that I saw.  BUT .... all of the user comments and review are about the feature film.  If I change THIS page to the short film, won't that delete all of the comments and reviews about the feature film?  I'm going to try to create another page for the original 'short' film, port all of THEIR relevant info there and keep this existing page for the feature, so I won't lose all of the user reviews and comments.  :D

Hmmmm,  I've been looking for a long time for ANY evidence of a 2020 feature film (with John Carlin, Alice Nicolini).  The only 2020 feature mentions were only from forum boards and not from authoritative sources. :(   I'm leaning towards the 2019 short info is the correct release date for the (John Carlin, Alice Nicolini) film. The first mention of their project is only the 2019 short.  As for the anthology feature film (by Scott Robson, Andrew Jaksch, etc) Amazon and various film sites list it as 2020 release, but LetterboxD (site) was the first to list the film as a 2019 release.   Thanks again for the archival link! :D

Hello?  Any MODS HERE?  I want to fix this entry.  All of the cast and crew are for ONE film, but the POSTER and the user reviews are for a completely DIFFERENT MOVIE with the same name and release year.    I want to create a new page for the other movie, but I need to MOVE all the USER generated reviews to THAT page, since none of the reviews are talking about the movie on the EXISTING PAGE.

Hi franklin_johnston -

Apologies for our delayed response.

Regarding the User Reviews, these will need to manually be moved by IMDb staff.

Have you already submitted the new page listing for the separate title?  If so, please post the related 18-digit submission number here and our staff can take a look.
