Movie Rumors You Heard But Never Came True

[CMWaters]

OK, was on IMDB helping someone figure out what a movie was, and I remembered a few years ago reading about two entries on IMDB that never actually came to life.

One was a remake of "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians".

The other was a Gilligan's Island movie with Julia Louis Dryfus as Mary Anne.

Anyone have memories of things like that?

The Johnny Bravo movie starring the Rock, and the King Kamehameha film, also starring the Rock.

A few years ago i remember reading that there was going to be another Mad Max movie, that never materialized.

Back in the 90s that James Cameron was going to direct Spider-Man (post True Lies) with either Keanu Reeves or Charlie Sheen playing Peter Parker.

Edit: Oh and Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to play Docter Octopus, and Robin Williams was to be Norman Osbourne/Green Goblin

But then again Robin Williams is always rumored to play a comic book villain

You can actually find the finished script on the internet if you look for it.

A spawn sequel.

It was apparently set in the first movie after Spawns first attempt at killing his former boss , outside with all the fire trucks and Jason and the clown talk briefly , there is a woman with "spawn" earings thats in the scene for like a second who was to end up being the character Tiffany.

Yep a half second cameo...if you can even call it a cameo was to set up for the sequel lol.

That a Hollywood studio was going to remake the Australian film 'The Castle'.

www.imdb.com/title/tt0118826/combined

This was in the 90s too so I guess it never happened.

[Threadkiller [Classic]]

I'm still waiting on WWE to go through with Jornada del Muerte.

I wanted cowboy HHH and cowboy HBK and cowboy Lashley and cowboy Undertaker!




Actually...that last one would absolutely work. I'd watch the hell out of The Undertaker f***ing shit up in the Old West.

So the third one will be the final legacy of Mad Max? Nothing more? That's it?

God, can't we get beyond Thunderdome?

I don't know, maybe we don't need another hero.

[noleafclover1980]

That god awful Superman that was to star Nick Cage. Also I know it's not a rumor, and is supposedly set to come out next year, but the Dark Crystal sequel that's been worked on since like, the early 2000's.

[Hawk Hart]

The Arrested Development movie and that makes me sad.

Going off of a tweet back when the movie came out/my observations, I think Wade Barrett'd fit the role better

Not really a rumor, but a Sprockets movie was supposed to come out at one point.

There's a finished script floating around online, and it's f***ing hilarious. I wish we would've gotten it.

Mike Meyers passed on it for "The Love Guru" I think ;D

[Krazee]

The Rock and Vin Diesel were gonna be in Dragon Ball Z The Movie

[G✇JI☈A]

Jurassic Park IV.... Yes Beard confirmed it's happening now. But years ago there was a rumor that JP4 was being made and that David Boreanaz was starring and the plot involved the dinosaurs being used in warfare. So it was basically a Dino-Riders movie.

[celticjobber]

One of The Rock's first acting gigs was rumored to be playing Duke Nukem in a film adaptation of the videogame.

The Rock taking over for Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 4.

Ghostbusters 3 starring Chris Rock and Ben Stiller.

A Fletch remake by Kevin Smith, starring Jason Lee.

A Bewitched movie starring Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd as Darren and Samantha Stevens.

Gilligan's Island with Beyonce as Ginger (actually, I think the recently deceased Sherwood Schwartz mentioned that in an interview)
