Why was this made?

For one this is all just a tease. It's a movie in documentary style about a movie that was never made. I think I'm going to watch a purposely made cheesy 80's samurai movie but it's not that at all. Was disappointed and I don't understand why they just didn't make the move but only made a couple of scenes to refer to as context.
