@@David-dc3nk I don't think there's much excitement for another Tintin movie. The first one was fun and generally well received but didn't exactly set the world on fire. And the cost would be through the roof. Too much of a risky project I think. It's weird that Spielberg is remaking Bullet. Kind of an odd project.

How Kill Bill missed this list is truly shocking. I mean surely it deserves a place higher than any Rock or Cage movie. I mean it's been rumoured for decades now. Tarantino even set it up with inviting Copperhead/Vernita Green's daughter to come find Bea when she got older. The daughter would be the perfect age right about now (along with Bea's daughter). I get that Tarantino and Thurman's relationship has been strained since the end of filming of Kill Bill..but looks like it's been softening in recent years. Perpetually hopeful we finally get a sequel (despite Tarantino stating he's only doing so many films).

The Love Guru is essentially Austin Powers 4, because in International man of mystery, Austin wears a disguise very much like the Love guru. it has all the Austin quirks, so, The Love Guru IS Austin Powers 4 and had it been, the film would have been a hit. It could have been called To India with love. Seeing that Clerks 3 and Bill and Ted 3 happened, these films will.

Added to this list: "Hyperion" - based on thr novel by Dan Simmons "Drood" - based on the novel by Dan Simmons and picked up by Guillermo Del Toro "The Dark Tower" - based on the series of novels by Stephen King. Stuck in DH because of the sheer amount of money and time it would cost and take to make it faithful "The Fireman" - based on the novel by Joe Hill, son of Stephen King. Picked up by FOX to be a summer blockbuster and left in DH "The Enemy" - based on a series of books by Charlie Higson. Imagine "28 Days Later" and "The Walking Dead" had a baby. Its a virus that infects anyone over the age of 16, leaving children to fend for themselves, while the Teens and Adults turn...

One movie that I thought should be on this list was an animated Popeye movie. There was going to be animated Popeye movie that was going to be released in 2017, but the filmmakers cancelled it to make "The Emoji Movie" instead, and that movie was a flop. That Popeye movie looked like it was going to be rather good, and if those filmmakers stuck with it, it probably with have been a big success. However, I was told that the filmmakers scrapped it because they thought that people would not be interested in watching a movie about a character who was created ages ago, and thought people would be more interested in watching a movie about something that's much more modern and apparently more used, thus "The Emoji Movie" was born. I was told it didn't look like the filmmakers were not going to go back and finish that Popeye movie. I thought I saw a piece of news that somebody was going to start that project back up again some years ago, but I never heard any updates nor seen any trailers for it. I sure hope that Popeye movie will end up seeing the light of day, I've been a fan of Popeye ever since I was a kid.
@Fluffyudders 18 күн бұрын
The Popeye movie was also going to be done by Genndy Tartakovsky. and much of the work had already been done. The full animatic was leaked some time back, if you search around you should be able to find it on youtube. I watched the whole thing, and I think it would have been pretty good. Why they abandoned it when it was so close to completion is beyond me.

District 10 is a thing? Knowing my sister she wouldn't watch it, but I would. It's interesting that the aliens landed in a random area and not a major city. That makes sense because the aliens shouldn't know much about our planet. National Treasure 3 O_o? If Nicolas Cage isn't in it then I don't care. Janis Joplin died young. She's a member of the 27 club. Jumanji 4? Is the first one even canon to the other series? The third one did leave it open for a potential sequel. 3:59 Heat, sun, and sand. This is fine. Most anime shouldn't be made live. If it's in Development Hell then it should stay there. Remember what happened to Cowboy Bebop? Neo was going to be in it. Why are they making Austin Powers 4? Didn't Dr. Evil change his ways? Mini-Me probably won't be in it either. 6:44 Isn't that Tom Cruise? 7:48 Then the pandemic happened. 8:37 The good Pinocchio of 2022. 9:43 There's a third one?
