In a alternate universe

they just hustling the studios. jeez 1/5 the budget to Arnold.....

Maggie?

@@jesussalinas9057 Or, you can then settle with the WIll Smith version - sparse in both dull story and DOA action with a very weak end result of something you'd expect to see on say the Hallmark Channel. What would have been been monumental cinema with a Ridley Scott version. Epic... And they blew it. BIG TIME.

This is why the Will Smith's "I am Legend!" To me Feel something is lacking and wrong after watching it fully.

The budget for Smiths version was 150 million in 2007 , 9 years later . What a mistake the studios made .

Watch "Maggie". Arnold acts his ass off in that movie. Best acting I ever saw him do. And having learned of this film that almost was, it makes me appreciate "Maggie" even more, because now I can see the foundation for him in that type of film, was THIS.

The concept of the vampires looked a little like the ones in Bladen

Watch the alternative cut, much better third act.

@@specialk4006 Yes, they actually carry through the butterfly theme.

Will smith movie should have been called, I am action hero.

@@specialk4006 It is a better third act but the Logan script that Ridley was going to direct had so many cooler elements even Arnie driving a bank armored truck to get through the mutants.

@@boddahif6967 I'm sure Arnold would had wasted a bunch of vampires . He liked Heston .

Also Terror at 10,000 feet. William Shatners famous Twilight Zone episode.

Don't forget about the "Amelia" chapter in "Trilogy of Terror" and one of the best Twilight Zone episodes, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" among many others.

@@JoseyWales44s Don’t forget the Night Stalker in 1971

I think Arnold could sell the character on screen now probably more than ever.

It’s a bummer they never got to work together.

I agree they need to make this

Scott's too much of a hack and a drunk at this point. He couldn't even do his press junket for Covenant sober.

You can read it in one night.

Bahahahahahaha!!!!! Fk that made me laugh.

Few months ago great guy called Kiramid Head here on KZfaq did an episode of his Screenplay Archaeology podcast which was all about almost every single unproduced Creature From The Black Lagoon remake scripts and entire development hell the project is still going through. I highly recommend checking it out! And when it comes Carpenter's unproduced films, i would like to see his version of Creature, because the scripts they had for it were pretty good, but if i would have to choose, i would absolutely love to see couple of his 80's unproduced projects, Shadow Company (Kurt Russell vs zombie Vietnam veterans) and Pincushion (Jamie Lee Curtis in female version of Road Warrior)!

Schwarzenegger is holding out for King Conan.

If they were ready to start filming now

@@taylorjeremy71 sounds dumb

@@seanlamar29 Not compared to an I am Legend remake with 70+ Arnold....that would bomb

@@taylorjeremy71 no

yeah just think about end of days...

Arnold was really good in Maggie

@@roryscott2941 Yeah Arnold can be very good as long as he has a good director. So I think it would have been great because Ridley Scott is a great director.

@@jackcrow9736 I concur, but it would be rad to see Crowe or Gibson as well.

As a fan of the book, I have a hard time getting into The Omega Man. I mean, both take their liberties, switch things up, but Omega is like a different story entirely. In terms of adaptations, I think The Last Man on Earth still comes closest.

@Robert Hunt The book is incredible. One of those books that furthers the genre.

I have to agree with you on that...

@@carterslade8771 Agree about "Last Man on Earth" but Richard Matheson was so disappointed in it that he removed his name from the screenplay credit. The Will Smith version actually turns the title entirely upside down.

There is a Vincent Price version that is pretty good.

Oh man, now that one would have been a great film for Arnold to star in late 80's and early 90's when it was in development for him, and the entire story behind all the attempts at making Sgt Rock film would have been another great episode! From dozens of scripts and writers (David Webb Peoples, Steven E. De Souza, Jeffrey Boam, John Milius, Brian Helgeland...) and directors (John McTiernan, Paul Verhoeven, Renny Harlin...), it's amazing how long they were trying to make that film, from like 1987 till early 2010's i believe.

@@jackcraven2266 i just found two scripts and i hope Supervoid will breakdown those two

Used to read those D.C. comics when I was a kid. Too bad it never got made

I had some.sgt. rock comics i believe i got them from my dad and Uncle would of loved to see how it would of came out. Who could play him now if Warner's decided to do something with the ip

Again, Arnie is too old for films like that now. It would lose money at the box office.

So many coincideces about that film have been happening to me recently.

That could work.

DC Animated shorts has a Sgt Rock animated.

Hell, the Family in the Omega Man was more believable than the Smith version with all their cartoon physics.

@@JoseyWales44s Totally Agree! Moved like a bunch of CG Spiderman. Other than that I thought it was a good movie but Omega Man will always be my favorite.

Yeah, it's definitely something I've had a good look into to try and find an angle on.

@@SupervoidCinema Did you find anything new or not as widespread?

Really hard not to have alot of action. But i feel what your getting at

Couldn't agree more Bruce! I do love how action packed Protosevich's scripts were, specially that December '98 draft, but i always felt that Logan's August '97 script would have been the best version to see made into a film back in the day.

Some of the Arnold Schwarzenegger footage was from the movie “Maggie”. Definitely worth a watch 😁👍🏻

Most of the footage is cut scenes from the game The Division.

I think it's mentioned in the first 3 minutes of the video.

@@SupervoidCinema Apologies Sir. Good video.

What about The Homega Man!!!!

Has nothing to do with nationalities, it has everything to do with money. Studio execs get nervous and want to appeal to as wide an audience as possible. That's why big budget movies are so bland now, they don't want to risk that much money on an idea that may or may not pan out, and they're loathe to give complete creative control over to one person.

Movie-audiences are simple creatures and they generally don't like to be wrong-footed. They like their heroes and villains served straight. "I Am Legend" (the book) pulls a great trick on the reader, having them realize that the "hero" they've been identifying with is the monster. It's a great twist, and I love it, but it's a risky trick to play on your audience. I suppose an analogy would be a war film where we only see through the protagonist's eyes, and the audience whoops it up as he carries out his brave mission, blowing stuff up and killing people left and right, and then at the end we see the protagonist reflected in a mirror and realize he's wearing a swastika. Audiences wouldn't go "Hmm, I grant you that was cleverly done, Mr Film-maker! You sure gave me some food for thought about differing perspectives there!" - they'd more likely riot, feeling dirty, tricked and angry because they'd been manipulated into cheering and fist-pumping while a Nazi killed good guys. The Will Smith version did originally have an ending like that, with Smith realizing he'd been carrying out medical experiments on intelligent beings capable of human emotions, but test-audiences rejected that ending in favor of a gung-ho explosive ending that was the antithesis of then intended themes. I guess movie audiences just aren't ready for that kind of ending in their Hollywood blockbusters.

@@blatherskite3009 rather see those movies

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@@ryanthoroman3293 Yep, me too. And they exist alright, just not as major Hollywood movies. As others have said: the higher the budget is, the more they want to play it safe.

🤣🤣🤣

Nah, he's too old now.

It was garbage especially with those cartoon monsters 🤣
