  • 20 Movies Not Coming Soon to a Theater Near You

    Check out Premiere's article here about twenty projects that are stuck in deep, dark un-fulfillment in development hell. Some interesting titles and a couple not surprising ones, of course.

    Tom Hanks as Dino and Jim Carrey as Jerry Lewis in a Rat Pack biopic? Will Ferrell and Mos Def in the adaptation of "A Confederacy of Dunces"?

    The mere fact that these two movies got scuttled is a reassurance that Hollywood still harbors sentience at some level.

    Although Sandra Bullock dressed as Wonder Woman is a nice image. Sigh.

      Sorry, but Sandra never struck me as sexy. Jessica Biel in the same outfit, on the other hand, would create a new kind of puberty.

        The problem's that there just aren't any actresses with a known name that has the body-type to pull off putting on the Wonder Woman outfit.

        They may have bought the b**bs, but the hips are out of their league.

          Most of the films on this list are in the "If you make it, they still won't come" column. Prestige films that may win an Oscar (or may not) but probably won't win an audience.

            I still think George Clooney should play Dino for Martin Scorsese.

              If "Halo" does ever get made the legions of fans of the games will surely be stomping theater grounds on its opening weekend.

                Isn't that the script that sold or was auctioned (or something) for some ungodly sum like $11 million?

                  Where have I seen a title similar to this thread? Borders?

                  Probably losing it...don't answer that.

                    I think it was a Kenneth Turan book by that name, or something like it.

                      Where did I read David Spade was being considered for the Spector part?

                          I wonder whats up with World Of Warcraft. Long ago I heard of a movie talks. If that is still open I wouldn't mind writing that.

                            Microsoft originally sold the script to Universal Pictures for $10 million dollars.

                              Would it really be a hit? The gamer audience doesn't always show up. DOOM tanked - like $28 million with a couple of stars a big studio budget.

                              $10 million was way too much to spend.
