Movies take a long time to make but in some cases, even after decades of work, some of them still can't get made. In this video, we take a look at the movies that get stuck in development and those that get some money - tens, and in some cases, hundreds of millions of dollars - put into them but never see the light of day. Welcome to Development & Production Hell.

We don't need a live action of Akira.

@Syntopikon Месяц назад

Especially not from Waititi after Thor: Love and Thunder.

@DaveRedsky Месяц назад

Who said that? I'd like one

@tumadrexuxa Месяц назад

I’d Watch it

@robertolanderos5308 Месяц назад

Maybe if it was Denis Villeneuve or Christopher Nolan directing, but NOT Waititi. He literally does not make any sense for an Akira adaptation.

@Syntopikon Месяц назад

@@robertolanderos5308 I think Villeneuve would be the best choice. After Dune, Arrival, and Blade Runner 2049, I think virtually any sci-fi/sci-fi tangential property would be safe in his hands.

@deadpilled2942 Месяц назад

I don't trust streaming channels to make these shows. For every "Last of Us" there's five Witchers, and Resident Evil tv shows

@Haydenthemaker1000 Месяц назад

I thought there were already like a million metal gear movies? They come packaged with these sweet little stealth games and they're at least a trillion hours long

Akira - Live Action Dialogue - If Done by Waititi Kaneda: "Hey! Tetsuooooo over here!" Tetsuo: "What in Neo-Tokyo are you doing, KANEDAAAAA!?" Kaneda: "Remember this dance we used to do as kids?" *Does Orange Justice Dance* Tetsuo: "Think you can out dance me?" Kaneda: "Spot light's on you, pal." *Satellite shoots Tetsuo.*

@oneinathousand2156 23 дня назад

The only reason to make another Akira is to adapt the parts of the manga that weren’t in the anime, which is what Taika has said he wants to do, but I’m sure if Katsuhiro Otomo wanted that to happen, he would be fully capable of doing that himself.

@Syntopikon 23 дня назад

Which leads one to think that perhaps a movie isn't the best way to go if an adaptation must be made. A TV series might work better. The recent development also, for some reason, seems to be multi-part movies (The Strangers, Horizon, Rebel Moon, Wicked). I really hope that doesn't end up being the case, as it's more or less been a recipe for bloat.

@wariodedede 28 дней назад

I really hate these studios that are afraid of making R rated movies. They are effectively knee-capping the director's creative talents all so they can get a wider audience and larger profits instead of actually having faith in names like del Toro to pull in that larger audience despite the R rating.

@Syntopikon 23 дня назад

Especially odd considering the trend of R movies doing well - Logan, Oppenheimer, Deadpool, etc. There's a larger market than they realize. They just need to make the budgets a bit smaller.

@Shadowman820 9 дней назад

It's been proven that an R rated movie can make a heck of allot of money if it's something people want to see like It Chapter 1 and 2 .

@basedsaul2746 Месяц назад

So they want a pg13 lovecraft movie....... are they okay?

@Syntopikon Месяц назад

One gets the sense they never really read Lovecraft. Or, if they did, wanted to shoehorn in a Hollywood romance & ending.

@peterhill8398 Месяц назад

An older example is the unfinished 1937 film adaption of Robert Grave’s’ historical novel ‘l, Claudius’ produced by Alexander Korda, directed by Josef von Sternberg and starring Charles Laughton. The production was plagued by difficulties culminating in a car accident in London that badly injured female lead Merle Oberon. Another problem was the disagreements between Korda and headstrong actor Laughton. The production had cost UK studio London Films the equivalent of about 50 million US by the time it was abandoned.

@Kaijuchainsaw63 Месяц назад

Seeing the amount of movies del toro never got to make is a tragic story itself

@Syntopikon Месяц назад

Yup. Him, Ridley Scott, James Cameron, and Steven Spielberg all have a lot of movies they wanted to do but, for one reason or another, have been unable to get them done (though in Cameron's case, it's probably because Avatar is taking up all the time).

@Shadowman820 9 дней назад

True though I think as far as The Hobbit goes he backed out of it on his own accord .

@scottlandano3819 28 дней назад

I heard(unfortunately don't remember where) that the reason we never got a WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT sequel was that Disney and Amblin/Spielberg were in disagreement for years on which company owned Roger Rabbit. When that got cleared up, both sides figured licensing all the different characters would be prohibitively expensive.

@kolonarulez5222 Месяц назад

I would love more Lovecraft screen adaptations! My dream movie would be adapting The Shadow Over Innsmouth

@Syntopikon Месяц назад

That would be a great one. Would also love one of Shadow out of Time. Lovecraft is one of those authors whose works should translate well to the screen, but it's difficult to get the cosmic horror aspect right.

@anubusx Месяц назад

In The Mouth Of Madness is the best Lovecraft film.

@woongah Месяц назад

Scarlett Johansson as Motoko Kusanagi was the least of Ghost in the Shell [Hollywood] problems. The original character is a brain in a box that changes body with upsetting (to her own sense of self) regularity, so a western face is no biggy. But the character in the movie has maybe 1/8th of the agency that the manga one has, the movie script ignore most if not all of the philosophical implications of AI and cybernetics explored by Mamoru Oshii in the animated movie and the Hollywood script probably has gotten Kenji Kamiyama and the rest of the "Stand Alone Complex" anime serie staff to laugh their ass off at its formulaic plot...

I would love to see a video of the dc movies that never got made, especially with how much detail and facts you put into your videos. Keep up the great work man

@Syntopikon Месяц назад

I appreciate it! Will do that one for sure, it's just going to take a little while. There are so many projects and while I'm at it, I might as well do films + TV in one.

@Maxwel_Rodrigues Месяц назад

Great video, but I have a complaint: when you mention a person, could you put their name on the screen, because I often can't understand the person's name just by you speaking. One example is 4:18 in the video. This is a tip that would greatly improve your videos, especially for those who don't have English as their first language and sometimes want to research more about the person mentioned. Keep doing the good job 😊

@Syntopikon Месяц назад

That's a great suggestion. I'll do that going forward!

@ibjmac187 Месяц назад

Great video! Fascinating topic. From what I remember, Josh Hartnett turned down a number of huge roles (Superman, Batman).

@Syntopikon Месяц назад

I appreciate it! I think Superman was the only one he turned down, though from what I recall, he was considered for Batman and Spider-Man as well. I think the discussions never got as far there as they did with Superman. Still, takes a LOT to turn down $100M.

@Shadowman820 9 дней назад

I think Hartnett was only considered for Darren Aronofksy's Year One movie , I don't think Nolan ever wanted or considered Hartnett for the role .

Shame on the establishment for not allowing a Jabba movie. Of course Jabba could be inclusive, any identifying or census category is capable of being fat and loving 7-Up. Zack Snyder needs to pick up the project and have some of those shredded 300 be the ones to surround Jabba.

You can't make a BioShock movie... (*BIOSHOCK 1 SPOILERS) . ... .... ..... The whole point to the games story is taking advantage of player agency. You think you're making choices, when you're not. Every time Atles says "Would you kindly", it's a commend phrase forcing the player character to obey. In the end you (like the pc) are just blindly following the narrative. That just would not work as a movie.
