Movies That Were Canceled For The Strangest Reasons 

There were talks that Star Trek:The Next Generation would have past the torch down to Star Trek:Voyager as the new line of movies, but some idiot decided to reboot the original series. It is taboo to do that to a sci-fi film. Imagine they reboot Star Wars and having somebody not named Carrie Fisher playing Leia? You see how Solo went down? The idea was for the original cast of each Star Trek series gets a turn at having some movies. There were talks about some movies for Enterprise to get some movies as well since it did not get the full run on tv like the 3 before that show did. There are too many loose ends to finish off those shows that never got the treatment.

@RED ALERT News That would have been an awesome end credit scene for Captain Marvel. If they had Nick Fury Sr make his first and only appearance in the MCU, by handing the Infinity Formula over to his son. I would have liked to have seen Stephen Lang play Nick Fury Sr.

10 things I hate about life. Is the reason I'm not watching any further.

Crushed that we lost Mountains if Madness over Ratings.

Well Star Trek had several movies including a fairly new one. I loved the original show with Scotty and sulu and and Nemo. I didn’t like the newer one just because it was not the same actors. I loved the original Star-wars trilogy! Then , after that party, I kinda stopped seeing them because it was just getting me mixed up . And weren’t as entertaining. I should say They. Some people like me, a Christian believe, I don’t think they made it that way. I just think it meant that good overpowers evil. But some Religions it was about heaven and hell. Which makes sense . Especially because of Vador killing the emperor and having his son remove his helmet that he needed to breath so he could see him face to face. Vadar came back to the good side. So at the end of the last movie. We see Vadar, Yoda and ob1 by a fence as spirits ? S I fi people can’t say that’s not partially true but they look at it as more of forces. But when you saw Vader’s helmet taken off, did you expect he looked like that? He looked like a grandpa who works in a hardware store. Or a simple man. Not some evil man!

The Fortress of Solitude does gave a series of robots that maintain the Fortress of Solitude. And a line of Surperman robot duplicates that act for him when he is off planet. Then there's the Eradicator...

Simplicity is key to everything. Making a ridiculous script isn't going to pay well in the box office. Especially if you make it so corny, you might as well add a freak light show and rename it Superman On Ice Capades.

@@JoeWaylo "Superman On Ice Capades". This is my band's new name.

Star Trek's journey to the big screen included several u-turns. "Planet of the Titans" was just one of the attempts, but throughout the process, Paramount was going to do a new series, a low budget movie, a tv movie, a tv miniseries, a medium budget movie, etc. It was during one of the theatrical movie attempts that Star Wars hit, Paramount thought they'd missed their window, and went back to developing a tv series. Then "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" debuted, bringing in the same kind of box office numbers as Star Wars, showing that fans *would* support more than one sci fi movie per year, and the pilot for the Star Trek: Phase II series they'd been developing was reworked into "Star Trek: The Motion Picture".

they later did start the network with a new star trek it was star trek voyager it was upn United Paramount Network

Now read this aloud as Sheldon from Big Bang Theory...

Logan's right, it was a Harold Livingstone script... but it was based on a story originally written by Alan Dean Foster. :)

I'll bury this here. Star Trek: The Movie was totally boring and forgettable. Lots of CGI and nothing else. Sort of like a Busby Berkley movie without any song and dance numbers. Oh, go look it up.

It can't be made as written because there are NO women to speak of in it (a grieving wife and Housekeeper) no way it gets made without shoehorning in a bunch of women. No thanks I don't want it, I love women but if you're going to make this film leave them out of it, Lovecraft did.

Yes!!! And thank the Greek Gods orbiting a black hole that it did.

Perhaps they should have selected Phyllis instead.

@@followerofjulian1652 Yeah, that's a good one.

Well, if Terry Gilliam can finally get his Don Quixote movie made, there is still hope for this.

This here.

Not only that, but E.T. 2: NOCTURNAL FEARS was derived from an even earlier scrip called NIGHT SKIES, which was written after CLOSE ENCOUNTERS. Spielberg, during pre-production, didn't feel like making a film where the aliens were scary, so the designs and the script went through a major overhaul and wound up becoming the E.T. that we know and love. www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=night+skies+aliens BTW, NIGHT SKIES would eventually be reworked into a movie called SIGNS, both of which were based on an incident in the mid to late 1950s in Hopkinsville, KY: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly%E2%80%93Hopkinsville_encounter Also note the appearance of the creatures, as the design of the gremlins from GREMLINS was based on their description.

*RUG* _ek V_

Dude, right? The only way that could be a worse idea is if Spock's never-mentioned-before half brother was the God-planet's apostle and took over the Enterprise to find it. Although, you know what's weird? That the Star Trek movies jump from 4 to 6... I've looked everywhere for Star Trek 5 but can't find it anywhere...

Dargonhuman: Star Trek 5? I had it on VHS, I converted that VHS onto a DVD-R. So, I can watch it in all its 480 lines of resolution glory on my Blu-Ray player. Lol...

@@David35687 I have no idea what you're talking about. I heard a rumor that there was a Star Trek 5 but it must have been cancelled as *no one ever talks about it* I repeat, it's a movie *no one acknowledges exists.*

I refuse to deny the existence of ST V. For without it, we wouldn't have the single greatest line in cinematic history. "What does God need with a starship?"

Hate? No. Like? No. It’s meh.

Same thing he did in the first film use a revolving door, Or a photo booth like in 4 or run down an alley like in Superman Returns

@@phantomspydj He never did use a phone booth much. I think it first happened in one of the theatrical cartoons. Superman can change in so little time than no one would see anything.

Brian Arbenz Wonder Woman did it in the 60’s

SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE and SUPERMAN II dealt with this quite well

Kevin Lake You’re an idiot. You act like tom cruise is a bad actor.

@@newthrash1221 He isn't a bad actor just the wrong actor, Tom Hardy, Liam Neeson or both would be great.

And I bet you're just the fun one at parties, eh?

They bombed themselves out of existence to be honest. Putting a circus show on destroyed the future movies until Batman Begins came out eight years later going back to the drawing board with original ideas. Never ruin an original series by putting ridiculous bullcrap in front of it with dancing, green lasers and spotlights.

its not gold plated, its just the way the light hits it.

@@k1productions87 Definitely not merely lighting, but not mere gold either -- that's clearly the USS Enterprise plated with gold-pressed latinum.

@@InvisibleAvenger No, that is actually the lighting. I've seen the original image that was used, and it was a very badly lit model. Its just a trick of the eye.

@@k1productions87 Gold plated. Kirk needs his pimpmobile.

@@InvisibleAvenger That would make a Ferigis' ears either shrivel or explode.

Should have used a radish.

Nicholas cage ewww.

Right! Look for the documentary on that film, it turned Superman inside out and would’ve been the Heavens’ Gate of comic book films if it was ever made

@@jennifersman7990 huh?

Heavens Gate is actually good. It would’ve given Batman & Robin a run for its money though.

Lisa Santos I saw him in New Orleans once

But that's basically what they did. The machine came back after learning all there is and used the would be Enterprise Captain and the bald lady as Adam and Eve to create a new species.

@@MrClobbertime I've seen it. The machine never claimed to be G-d, though, not precisely. Star Trek has had multiple stories with godlike machines or aliens. It's not an uncommon concept in SF, but it's rarely done well. I had a specific idea that I wanted to play with, so....

Some people are idiots

@@davidw5993Well This was before the movie came out. No images of ET were released and ppl had to look up the meaning of Extra Terrestrial.

No they didn’t you conclusion jumping horses ass.

to be fair star wars is science fantasy.

@@metalicscraping2799 Intriguing! Is there a difference?

there are alot of differences that come down to semantics. A good one is in the explanation for the tech, science fiction tries to have an explanation done into explain how it could be possible via current understanding, like star treks warp bubble, or mass effects reduction of mass to zero, or even Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, at the time people experimented with moving bodies through electricity. star wars just has warp drives, they are pretty commonplace and wizard monk knights just exist. however there is alot of overlap, Q is one of the biggest gray areas, along with many of the godlike entities in star trek.

@@metalicscraping2799 I see. A lot depends on what you want I suppose. What I like about sci fi such as trek and Galactica, is exploring the human condition under stress without the need to conform to reality. A weekly murder in the sleepy village of Midsomer stretches the imagination too far imho, such a place would be under lock down in real life. Police and social workers on every corner. Imagine the bridge of a Starship, and anything goes. Star Wars has gone a bit "Tolkien" for me. Brilliant in the 80s, fresh original, puttting a bit of swords and magic worked briefly, for me at least, but I find it hard to care about what colour lightsabre people use! Again, the imagination is stretched not by technology, but humans in an advanced society would study the force, it wouldn't be a mystery. This lack of connect with humanity, is that the difference between fiction and fantasy? God like powers were extant in TOS, "Squire of Gothos ", "Plato's Stepchildren " etc but the powers were explained in a sci fi way. And who knows, maybe Q is god! Even Richard Dawkins admitted we may have been created by a super intelligent alien, however, that doesn't answer the question of creation because it doesn't explain who created Q.

Even back then that had to be tone deaf af.

Actually, he was technically correct. All the big "sci-fi" movies you see now-a-days are really Science Fantasy.

Yes, I just heard that statement and got that joke.

Install uBlock Origin...as of right now, watching this video, it has blocked 59 adverts here.

That ET sequel sounded terrible you tasteless cornhole

@@M60gunner1971 Whoooooosh

Did we read the same novella?

It was PROMETHEUS that killed ITMOM, since (as GDT put it) they essentially did the same basic premise.

That was a mercy killing though. The one movie they did make was so far off from the source material that it almost didn't feel like He-Man

That's because Cannon Films spread their budget across three films at once, a JCVD vehicle called "Cyborg", MOTU and "Superman IV:Quest For Peace", hoping to get rich quick by having three blockbusters, but their cheapness meant that all three failed, and Cannon Films went out of business.

@@dhenderson1810 the motu sets were used in cyborg

Don't forget the beginning with the Klingons!

he only got it as he do not care about the ppl who see the f up video he put down he full of errors and not much facts

at least it could not have been worse than that direct to video Nick Fury movie with David Hasselhoff; I do not watch, you will never stop wishing for your time back.

He hasn't even improved from his early days on the SITCOM named "ER", before anyone thought of the drama series by the same name.

You're an idiot.

*R2D2

Mika Hikyuu yes

No they said Clooney I wouldn't be a Marvel fan if they'd hired that hack. Thank God they went with Jackson, he's perfect, no matter what color he is sheesh.
