Development Hell: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Revenge of the Nerds]]'': Fanboys director Kyle Newman was given the greenlight to direct a remake back in 2007, unfortunately the studio kept cutting the budget, and the only college in Georgia that would let them film was an all girls school, as the other colleges had previously had bad experiences with film crews. The studios also kept on making demands for things as trivial as the main characters wardrobe, then after the all girls school found out that the film was more "risque" then the crew had let on, they were kicked out and had no money left to finish the movie, so the studio pulled the plug on the remake and nothing has been heard ever since.

* A live-action film of ''[[Transmetropolitan]]'' has been been in the early proposal/planning stages for over a decade now; spearheaded by long-time fan [[Patrick Stewart]], who is the fan-favorite to play Spider Jerusalem. At one point, an animated version was proposed, with Steward voicing Jerusalem. Ellis and Robertson have indicated that they would like [[Tim Roth]] to play the title role; but as of this time, no production has started on any adaptation.

* Around 2003, [[Robert Zemeckis]] was planning to remake the William Castle film ''Macabre'' for Dark Castle Entertainment (a company he co-founded with Joel Silver) at some point in between the productions of ''[[The Polar Express]]'' and ''[[Beowulf (film)|Beowulf]]''. After Zemeckis got heavily into motion capture, he abandoned the project and eventually left Dark Castle to start Imagemovers Digital. Nothing has been heard about the project since.

* A ''[[Gunnm|Battle Angel]]'' film with director James Cameron. On again off again with rumors as far back as the early 2000s including supposed casting calls for a lithe girl who could move like a cat ... then nothing. Then he said he was waiting for the technology to catch up to his vision. Then ''[[Avatar]]''. Is he even working on it still? Who knows.
