''[[Dreaming Machine]]'' (also known as ''The Dream Machine'') is an unfinished anime film by the late [[Satoshi Kon]] and his long-time collaborator [[Madhouse]] Studios. The film was to be Kon's fifth (and final) film; after his [[Author Existence Failure|sudden death from pancreatic cancer in 2010,]] the film went into [[Development Hell]] as the studio pondered what to do. On November 12, 2010, the movie [[Saved From Development Hell|resumed]] [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|production]] with an acting director - character designer and chief animation director Yoshimi Itazu - to oversee completion of the film based on the completed screenplay, the already-completed storyboards, and Kon's own directorial tapes and notes. ([[Madhouse]] founder Masao Maruyama reportedly told Kon in one of their final discussions about the film that [[Madhouse]] would do "whatever it takes" to complete it.)
