In the race that is the movie production business, some box office hits are right out in front while other forgettable productions tail at the back. Most of the time, though, people don’t even think of the movies still sitting on the lonely bench asking the coach to put them in. If we lost you there, we’re talking about the movies you’ve never heard of because they never even got made. It’s a tough process to find a diamond in the rough among ideas, screenplays and scripts that will shine bright enough to make it to the big screen - let alone become a classic.
So what happens along the way that decides whether a movie makes it past the production phase? We’re here to tell you! And if so many movies are slipping through the cracks, what kind of potentially awesome movie content are we missing? We’re here to tell you that too! We’ve got a lot to say but let’s start with breaking down all the Dreamworks Animation movies that never got made. Whether it was due to directors quitting mid-production or ideas looking a little too familiar to other movies, we’re covering it all.
