Line 105:
** The last news about the subject was in 2014.
* ''The Story of Bonny and Clyde'' has been delayed for several years . After Hillary Duff who was cast as Bonny became pregnant the producers quickly replaced both leads fearing that with Duff pregnant the film would be delayed further if they waited for her to be available. With the roles recast the film however has yet to start production. Even Duff has since given birth.
* ''[[Eloise]] in Paris'' - A live-action adaptation of the ''Eloise'' book of the same name has been in development since late 2007-2008, and was to star Australian child actress Jordana Beatty for the title role alongside ''[[Kill Bill]]'' actress [[Uma Thurman]]. A few years later and yet little, if any, development was announced, and Beatty would obviously be too old to play the title character. Thurman would later sue Handmade Films for "a film that never was". In 2020 another [https://variety.com/2020/film/news/eloise-at-the-plaza-movie-remake-1234830096/ live-action Eloise adaptation] was announced, but like with the previously aborted project, practically nothing was heard from it since.
* ''Invisible Monsters'', based off of a book penned by Chuck Palahniuk (of ''[[Fight Club]]'' fame), has been in development for forever and a half.
* ''[[Fahrenheit 451]]''. It had a French version successfully released in 1966, but those guys over at Hollywood are still stuck on this.
Line 227:
* The third ''Alien vs. Predator'' film.
* A fifth [[Indiana Jones]] movie is much rumored by Spielberg, Lucas, Ford and [[La Beouf]]. Considering that the fourth film was in Development Hell for nineteen years, it's hard to say if anything will come of the fifth film.
* There's been talk going around about filming ''[[The Wheel of Time]]''{{'}}s first installment, ''The Eye Of The World'' since the turn of the century, but absolutely nothing has come of it. Probably because nobody likes the implications of filming the first in a series of 14.
* Something called ''Curly Oxide and Vic Thrill'', starring [[Borat|Sacha Baron Cohen]] and written by [[Tina Fey]], was supposed to come out around 2007 or 2008. It's still listed as an upcoming project on both Cohen and Fey's IMDb pages.
* The ''[[Rifts]]'' movie. [[Jerry Bruckheimer]] picked up the right in 2004, and has been renewing the option every year, but doesn't seem to have done anything with it yet. Though, considering how other Rifts spin-offs (like the CCG and the N-Gage video game) went, this may not be a bad thing.
* A [[Biopic]] of [[Silent Age of Hollywood|silent film]] comedian [[Fatty Arbuckle|Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle]] has been in this state for about three decades. Like the aforementioned ''[[A Confederacy of Dunces]]'', it had [[John Belushi]], John Candy and Chris Farley lined up to star in it shortly before their respective deaths. No word has come out of it since.
Line 284:
** ''[[Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock]]'' finally aired in January 2022, as a new TV series.
* The idea for a [[The Muppets|Muppet]] movie known as ''[http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cheapest_Muppet_Movie_Ever_Made! The Cheapest Muppet Movie Ever Made]'' was originally floated in 1985. It's presumably about Gonzo directing a Muppet movie and he blows half the budget on the opening titles, resulting in the movie progressively getting shittier and shittier to the point where a shot of the same street corner is used for every city in the world. The title card was revealed in September 2009, but it was subsequently set aside in favor of ''[[The Muppets (film)|The Muppets]]''.
