20 Movies Not Coming Soon to a Theater Near You
Despite big names, strong buzz, and built-in fans, some films still find 'development hell' a very real place.
By Stephen Saito
In a summer full of threequels, it might seem as though Hollywood has run out of original ideas — but we beg to differ. For every Shrek the Third, there are hundreds of scripts (and even some completed films) in studio vaults that have been waiting to emerge. Some have stars ranging from Tom Hanks to Johnny Depp attached and still find themselves waiting to see the light of day. For every film that collects dust but eventually gets its happy, Hollywood ending — like Dreamgirls or the full-steam-ahead Speed Racer — there is a dream project like Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon, which likely died with the director.
Here are just 20 of the films we'd still like to see dug out of development hell and brought to a multiplex near you
