Line 31:
* The ''[[Code Geass]]'' Gaiden was first mentioned in the 2008 or 2009 time frame, though its official announcement wasn't until early-mid 2010. It was supposed to air in 2011. Its currently January 2012, and the general public has seen: two character designs, some mechs, and a general concept.
* The planned [[Spiritual Successor]] to the ''[[Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise]]'', ''Aoki Uru'', entered preproduction ''in 1988'', but hasn't been completely abandoned yet. Despite it being shelved indefinitely, [[Gainax]] is still wishing to eventually produce it, and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto still releases the concept arts from time to time.
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'' was optioned for a Hollywood big-screen adaptation in ''1999'' and promptly vanished from the radar.
Line 276 ⟶ 277:
* ''[[Jumanji]] 2'', which would have involved the Jumanji board, after being spotted in the ocean, uncovered by two girls from France, building on [[Sequel Hook|a scene at the end of the film]]. It was scrapped when Chris Van Allsburg wrote ''[[Zathura]]'' as a sequel to the book that inspired the movie, with the intent of making [[The Movie]] based on the book (which ironically is more of a [[Spiritual Successor]]).
* The [[Wesley Snipes]] western ''Gallowwalker'' was shot in 2006, with reshoots done in 2009, but as of 2012 remains unreleased (partially due to Snipes's legal issues, which previously led to delays in the reshoots).
* The film rights to ''[[The Borribles]]'' have been bought several times since the first book came out in the late 1970s -- and in fact as of the late 2010s are ''currently'' in play. But no project has ever gotten past the simple ''proposal'' stage.
== Films -- Puppets ==
* The Jim Henson Company has been planning a ''[[Fraggle Rock]]'' movie and ''[[The Dark Crystal]]'' sequel for quite some time. Every now and then, they'll announce ''The Dark Crystal'' sequel, but no progress appears to have been made. This was parodied by ''[[Robot Chicken]]'', which joked that the primary reason it's not going forward is that today's kids don't want to watch an all-puppet film.
** As with ''Good Omens'' above, a ''Dark Crystal'' prequel series, ''[[The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance]]'', will air on [[Netflix]] in summer 2019.
* 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]]''.
