Canceled or shelved movies you never got to see... - Blu-ray Forum

Canceled or shelved Movies you never got to see? Or maybe it's in development hell, seemingly never going to be made?

---------------

I would've liked to see the sequel to Solo Star Wars Story, just to see Darth Maul be the main villain leader, plotting against Han Solo. But if he doesn't have any Jedi with light sabers to fight against, then maybe it would've been a missed opportunity anyway? The 1st movie's attendance in theaters didn't match Lucasfilm Disney's goals for their over budget production, and so the sequel plans were scrapped.

My big one is probably the new Salem's Lot.

Cremildo · 03-04-2024, 10:08 PM

Ridley Scott's Alien: Awakening and Spielberg's Robopocalypse.

Batgirl getting completely canned after being finished is a big one. I hope one day a leak happens and it gets seen.

I think a Raimi Spider-Man 4 or Amazing Spiderman 3 would have been neat to see too.

Coyote vs. ACME and SCOOB! Holiday Haunt.

RCRochester · 03-04-2024, 11:55 PM

The Day the Clown Cried although I think I read somewhere it might actually be released soon?

Amazing Spider-Man 3 is probably the most likely one of these three to see the light of day.

I've seen the new Salem's Lot and I'm wondering if I'll be just part of a handful in the future who has.

It's fine. Fits right along with any blumhouse horror flick of the past few years. Nothing obscenely horrible about it that it needs to be cancelled.

John1701D · 03-05-2024, 01:13 AM

So not better than 79

The story of Broadway Brawler w/ Bruce Willis is kind of interesting:

Honestly no it's not. Granted I was impressed by the way they did handle the big scenes. The Glick boy at the window is still pretty great.

It has the same problems that the 79 version did when it was cut down to theatrical length. It's the book on fast forward. You don't get really much time with the side characters at all and the town seems to become full of vampires overnight. They also changed the climax's location that I thought was kind of odd.

You would think Robopocalypse should have no issues getting the greenlight in today's climate.
