Development Hell thread

*sdp* · 08-18-2021, 06:12 PM

What are some of your favorite projects that are either stuck in development hell or people keep saying that it's happening but nothing ever happens. This isn't for cancelled projects or those that became something else. Like the cancelled TMNT movies for example.

For me?

Rush Hour 4: They keep getting asked and the actors keep saying "it's going to happen", rinse and repeat every other year

Spawn The Animation: Hasn't been mentioned in a few years but McFalrane said it was pretty much done and was only waiting for

Spawn new movie

Star Wars under world: George Lucas had like 5 seasons worth of scripts (100 episodes) with 400 episodes planned for a star wars live action show set between the trilogies(the Lucas ones of course). the series was only waiting for tech to catch up so they could film cheaper with a more modest budget but it was ready. Lucas didn't care to lose money Clone Wars had a higher budget because of that (which you realize when you get to the Disney CG series that look worse despite coming out years later). It's speculated Disney is using some of those ideas of the scripts for their Disney+ shows but in the meantime i guess it still counts since they do have the scripts.

Gamera reboot: We sometimes get a hint that it's coming only for nothing to come out

Voltron movie: "It's coming" for the past 25 years

The Crow reboot: At this point I don't think I feel confident it'd be any good if it comes out in the next 5 years, better stay in dev hell until the end of this decade

Jonny Quest: A new movie has been in development forever, this is indiana jones and james bond with a kid protagonist, unsure why no one has jumped to try to make it happen. a new show at the very least.

Riddick 4: Vin Diesel owns the IP, he wants to make it, has the power to get it done, this will ikely happen now that Fast and the furious ends.

Akira: This anime adaptation is going to be terrible no matter what, and it's going to come out sooner or later, so might as well get this turd out so we can all hate it.
