to pay off if one dies or cannot complete the film.

I haven't heard of an insurance that covers not being shown. It has happened more than once that a film is made but not released, or the release is delayed for some reason or another. But insurance to cover a movie not being released? Kind of doubt it, but don't know for sure.
