Scrapped movie idea's

Far as I know there's no other thread like this, not currently anyways. I was thinking we could have a thread where we could talk about scrapped movie idea's or scrapped movies in general. Like things they were gonna have in movies but didn't or movies they were gonna make but didn't.

I remember being excited for "Used Guys," which would have been Jim Carrey and Ben Stiller in a future comedy directed by Jay Roach. Plot: "Carrey and Stiller will play clones rendered obsolete by superior models whose enhancements include better listening and lovemaking skills. The scorned clones make a run for it, bent on regaining their dignity by searching for a male nirvana known as Mantopia."

It was scrapped due to the budget expected to be the highest ever for a comedy.

I seem to recall some stupid idea for Jurassic Park IV in which the dinosaurs had lasers or something attached to them (I'm not sure if this was ever actually considered or not, lol, but I remember hearing it somewhere).

The live action version of Akira (with Caucasian actors in the roles) was finally scrapped recently, thank god.

I remember reading about that idea

sounded too much like Turok: Dinosaur Hunter to me.

Sounds like something Dr. Evil would ask for

Sounds like Dino-Riders I had most of the toys growing up. The dinosaurs walked and creamed on their own! Awesome show!!!

Kung Pow 2 😠

There was supposed to be a movie a while ago called "Super Max". it was about Green Arrow being imprisoned with a bunch of really dangerous supervillains.

It sounded like it would have been 90+ minutes of the portion of Watchmen where Rorschach was in jail... except likely a lot less awesome.

I was always keen on the idea of Burton's take on Superman with Nicholas Cage...

there was this movie that was suppose to come out a few years ago, it was like, "the book of eli" but it answered the age old question, "if god created the world then did god create himself." It was suppose to be about how he created himself but I guess there was too much red tape for them to actually make it happen. It would have made for an interesting movie.

Rocky vs Predator woulda been a great movie

Constantine 2, doesn't seem like it's gonna happen.

I read somewhere that originally in BTTF Doc Brown was gonna create a Nuclear explosion to send Marty back to 1985

If I remember this right, there were plans for a Chucky vs. Leprechaun movie directed by Ronny Yu but it was cancelled.

There was also plans for pinhead vs Mike Myers and Pinhead vs Freddy vs Jason...none ever happened 🙁
