Tales To Rip Tear Your Heart Out (1975) An unfinished horror anthology. Wes Craven was involved with one of the segments. You can see some of what director Roy Frumpkes had shot for his segment in the American cut of Zombie Holocaust (1975), the American cut goes by the name Dr. Butcher MD. Roy's footage is used in the opening credit sequence.


Stephen King and Peter Straub's The Talisman Originally planned as a theatrical film in the 80's, directed by Steven Spielberg (who acquired the rights before the book was even published), Spielberg's production company at one point was even planning on a miniseries version.
Rumor has it that director Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) is wanting to helm a theatrical version, but I'll believe it when I see it. Josh was also supposed to direct a theatrical version of Stephen King's The Stand (but that's been delayed) and he wants to direct an adaptation of King's Revival.

George Romero's unmade Stephen King projects.

Though Romero and King worked together on Creepshow, Creepshow 2, and Romero adapted King's The Dark Half. Romero was attached to direct several more King novels- The Stand (I even have a copy that says Soon To Be A Major Motion Picture), Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary, From A Buick 8, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. But for various reasons, the films were either made without him, not made at all.

Eli Roth's Thanksgiving (an 80's throwback slasher). Roth made a fake trailer for 2007's Grindhouse, and talks of a feature length version came about. Sounds like it may never happen though.:(

And speaking of fake trailers seen on Grindhouse, wouldn't mind a feature length of Edgar Wright's Don't, and Rob Zombie's Werewolf Women Of The SS.

It's high time they made a film about Yuri Gagarin, or are Steven Spielberg and his ilk so full of sour grapes they won't handle the subject..

And although the time has probably passed, James Cameron's Spider-Man film would have been interesting

I wonder what the once planned Spider Man movie from the 80's would have been like. Stan Lee as J Jonah Jameson.

Mrs. Doubtfire 2, which was due to go into production, but Robin Williams died so I guess we'll never see it.

It'd probably end up looking like those low budget Captain America and Fantastic Four movies back in the day. It'd be ridiculed now, but also a campy cult classic.

Getting back to James Cameron for a second, he was also attached to a Planet of the Apes movie I would have liked to have been made

Blood Church (1992) Unfinished/unreleased Linnea Quigley horror flick. There is a 30-some minute rough footage edit floating around on the interwebs.

According to IMDB- This is considered the "lost" film of Scream Queen Linnea Quigley. Director Eric Swelstad abandoned the project before finding a distributor and the title has yet to be released to a mass market audience. Over the years various producers including Jim Wynorski, Rob Spera and Jody Savin have expressed an interest in putting the finishing touches on the film, with the intention of finally releasing it. Swelstad, who owns the initial rights to Blood Church, was resistant and nothing came of their efforts. In 2004, two individual production companies American Film Partners International and Media Blasters expressed an interest in the film, once again with little luck.

Guillermo del Toro was going to do a "darker" version of Disney's The Haunted Mansion since the 2003 Eddie Murphy film wasn't well received.

First announced in 2011, del Toro said he was working closely with Disney Imagineers, had access to the Disney Archives, and got to explore the attraction behind-the-scenes to be as loyal to the story as he could.

In 2014, del Toro said he showed Disney a rough draft of the script but he didn't get the screenplay down pat yet. He said he would love to direct it, but the ball was in Disney's court.

There were no further updates but I would love for his version to happen.





SAW director James Wan and Resident Evil's Paul W.S. Anderson were also going to do a Castlevania film back in 2009, but financial problems stalled the production. It would have been cool to see.

Now Castlevania is an animated Netflix series.

WWE Films announced in late 2009 that they were going to do an origin movie on The Undertaker. They didn't reveal much info. other than it was going to be a western set in the 1880s.

It was apparently scrapped and I would have liked to see this.

- Sensational She-Hulk. I know Wonder Woman & Supergirl each got big screen treatment. Now It will follow their lead since the Captain Marvel film will hit theaters in 2019.

- A Interracial couple played by either Morris Chestnut & Connie Britton or Courtney B. Vance & Virginia Madsen in a Our Family Wedding/Guess Who/Something New-esque movie

Another one that I was disappointed never happened was Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family) playing disgraced 1920s comedian Fatty Arbuckle.

It was announced as a HBO film, that was to be based on the book The Day the Laughter Stopped, due for summer of 2012.

2 old and incomplete
and 2 new

The old and incomplete
John Christopher's
Tripod Trilogy

A number of years ago, a 2-part TV miniseries was made from the 1st 2 books in the series. There was talk of making another episode from the 3rd book in the series, which got as far as the script stage, before it was dropped. I'd like to see someone go back and do it again with all 3 books + the sequel which has been written since.

C. S. Lewis'
Chronicles of Narnia

animation. live action. TV. films. The last 3 books in the series--the horse and his boy, the magician's nephew, and the final battle--have never been seen on film. Though, it is said that Netflix is going to reboot the series, so maybe we'll get to see the final 3 books on film.

The new
The 3 Janes
My Lady Jane

While the 1st half of the book closely follows, more or less, the historical saga of Lady Jane Grey, the twist comes in the 2nd half, as she escapes imprisonment and execution and flees. Supported by her teenage husband and her teen cousin, the king, who is still alive. All 3 being able to turn into animals, which puts them outside the pale for that time and place. At least, this one is being shopped around the Hollywood studios, with my hope someone will pick it up and make it into a film.

Andrew Shvarts
I can't give you the title, because it is a curse word, but, so far in the series we have had 2 books published, this year and last, with the 3rd due out in June, 2019. Hopefully, the series will continue after next year, with even greater hopes that someone will turn it into a TV miniseries or film series, as I think it has a lot going for it.

Sympathetic heroes
Realistic and brutal violence
Powerful images that'd look good on the screen
Great villains
and arousing action, especially the bar brawl in the 1st book.

And that is my choices of films that I'd wish were made or remade.
