It was announced in 2019 that filming would be done later that year, in a production produced by Andrew Lazar and Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Taika Waititi. The filming was delayed in August 2019 due to Waititi's commitment to direct the Marvel Studios film Thor: Love and Thunder.[2][3]
  • Alien vs. Predator: Alien vs. Predator was first planned shortly after the 1990 release of Predator 2, to be released sometime in 1993. It was halted for more than a decade, with constant actor changes, restarts, and failed promotions of the film until it was finally released in 2004.[4]
  • Alita: Battle Angel: James Cameron's live-action adaptation of Yukito Kishiro's manga series Battle Angel Alita was in development hell starting in the early 2000s. The project was finally completed under the direction of Robert Rodriguez, and released in 2019.[5]

  • Atuk: A film adaptation of the novel The Incomparable Atuk. Norman Jewison first purchased the film rights in 1971, and since then there have been several attempts to produce it.

  • Bajirao Mastani: The film was conceived in the 1990s and was finally announced in 2003 but was shelved indefinitely due to its ever changing cast. The film was finally revived in 2014 and went immediately in production and was released in December 2015.[9]

It's 27 years later."[12] In January 2015, writer Grahame-Smith said the script was finished and that he and Burton intended to start filming by the end of the year, and that both Keaton and Ryder would return in their respective roles.[13] In April 2019, Warner Bros. stated the sequel had been shelved.[14]
  • Bill & Ted Face the Music: an attempt to revive Bill & Ted came to fruition in August 2010 when franchise star Keanu Reeves indicated that a script for a third film was being worked on despite the fact that the character Rufus would not return, due to original actor (George Carlin)'s death two years prior.[15][16][17] Dean Parisot was attached to direct by August 2012.[18] In March 2013 at the SXSW Film Festival, Alex Winter confirmed progress on the film was still being made.[19][20] In April 2016, Winter told Forbes that they had a script, a director, and a studio, and that they were planning to film by early 2017.[21] Reeves gave an update on the film in February 2017 during an interview on The Graham Norton Show, saying the story was written, and discussing the plot of the film: "Basically, they're supposed to write a song to save the world, and they haven't done that. The pressure of having to save the world, their marriages are falling apart, their kids are kind of mad at them, and then someone comes from the future and tells them if they don't write the song it's just not the world, it's the universe. So they have to save the universe because time is breaking apart".[22] During the New York City Comic Convention, Reeves revealed that the title will be Bill & Ted Face the Music.[23] The film is slated to be released on September 1, 2020.[24][25]
  • Blair Witch 3, a third film in the Blair Witch franchise was in talks since the October 2000 release of Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2. Despite rumors, development did not begin until September 2009 when creators Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez announced a third film in the works from Lionsgate, retconning any events from Book of Shadows. After several scripts be tossed around, Simon Barrett's script was pitched with Adam Wingard announced as director in 2013 under its working title, The Woods. The film—simply under its name, Blair Witch—was released on September 16, 2016 with polarizing reactions from critics and auidences, and was a disappointment at the box office.
  • A Confederacy of Dunces, the Pulitzer Prize winning novel, has had a motion picture adaptation announced at least seven times, with some of the attempts even making it to a full script being written and most of the major characters of the novel cast, only to always stall and be abandoned.[26][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]
  • Dallas Buyers Club: The screenplay was written in September 1992 by Craig Borten. Throughout the 1990s, he wrote 10 different scripts, hoping for it to be picked up. It was unable to secure financial backing, going through three different directors, finally being released in 2013, with Jean-Marc Vallée directing.[34]
  • The Dark Tower: An adaptation of The Dark Tower had been in development since at least 2007.[35] The film was eventually released on August 4, 2017.[36]
  • Deadpool: Deadpool was in development hell for more than 15 years.[37] In May 2000, Artisan Entertainment announced a deal with Marvel Entertainment to coproduce, finance and distribute a film based on American comic books publisher Marvel Comics character Deadpool.[38] In February 2004, New Line Cinema attempted to produce a Deadpool film with writer/director David S. Goyer working on the spin-off and actor Ryan Reynolds in the title role;[39][40] Reynolds himself became interested in the character after finding out that in Cable & Deadpool, Deadpool refers to his own scarred appearance as "Ryan Reynolds crossed with a Shar-Pei".[41][42] By August, Goyer lost interest in favor of other projects.[43] In March 2005, after New Line put Deadpool in turnaround, 20th Century Fox became interested in moving forward on production for the project.[44] Fox considered a Deadpool spin-off early in the development of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which had Reynolds cast in the role,[39] and after the opening weekend success of that film announced that it was lending Deadpool out to writers, with Lauren Shuler Donner acting as a producer.[45] Donner wanted the film to reboot the character of Deadpool, ignoring the version in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and including attributes that the character has in the comics, such as breaking the fourth wall.[46] Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick were hired to write the script in January 2010,[47] and Robert Rodriguez was sent an early draft of the screenplay that June.[48] After negotiations with Rodriguez fell through, Adam Berg emerged as a top contender to direct.[49] In April 2011, visual effects specialist Tim Miller was hired as director, making the film his directorial debut.[50] In September 2014, Fox gave the film a release date of February 12, 2016.[51] The film was released on that date to positive reviews[52][53] and became the ninth highest-grossing film of 2016 worldwide,[54] as well as the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time, until it was surpassed by Joker 3 years later.[55][56][57]
  • Death Note: This 2017 neo-noir supernatural teen horror film, loosely based on the Japanese manga and anime of the same names respectively, was in development since August 2007.[58] The American production company Vertigo Entertainment was originally set to develop the remake, with Charley and Vlas Parlapanides as screenwriters and Roy Lee, Doug Davison, Dan Lin, and Brian Witten as producers.[59] On April 30, 2009, Variety reported that Warner Bros., the distributors for the original Japanese live-action films, had acquired the rights for an American remake, with the original screenwriters and producers still attached.[60] In 2009, Zac Efron responded to rumors that he would be playing the film's lead role by stating that the project was "not on the front burner".[61] On January 13, 2011, it was announced that Shane Black had been hired to direct the film, with the script being written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Charles Mondry.[62] Warner's studios planned to change the background story of Light Yagami into one of vengeance instead of justice and to remove Shinigami from the story. Black opposed this change, and it had not been green-lit.[63] Black confirmed in a 2013 interview with Bleeding Cool that he was still working on the film.[64] In July 2014, it was rumored that Gus Van Sant would replace Black as the film's new director, with Dan Lin, Doug Davison, Roy Lee and Brian Witten producing through Vertigo Entertainment, Witten Pictures and Lin Pictures.[65] The film was eventually directed by Adam Wingard and was distributed by Netflix for an August 2017 release and received mostly negative reviews.
  • Foodfight!: In 2004, the CGI film Foodfight was announced. Described as "Toy Story in a supermarket", the film promised to bring together over 80 famous advertising characters with voice talent including Charlie Sheen, Christopher Lloyd, Eva Longoria, Hilary and Haylie Duff, and Wayne Brady. Director Lawrence Kasanoff expected it to be a commercial hit and merchandise for the movie appeared on store shelves before the film had a release date. However, the film ran into many problems.[66] In late 2002/early 2003, Kasanoff reported that hard drives containing unfinished assets from the film had been stolen in what he called an act of "industrial espionage". After several years, a trailer[67] was finally shown at AHM in 2011, a company bought the DVD distribution rights for the film in Europe,[68] and a quiet video-on-demand American release came in 2012.
  • ID Forever Part I and II: The sequels to Independence Day were in development hell from 1997 until 2009, when director Roland Emmerich announced the pre-production of the films, which were planned to be shot back-to-back.[69] However, ID Forever Part I was renamed to Independence Day: Resurgence for its release on June 24, 2016.[70]
  • The Irishman: The film had been in development since 2007.[71][72] It went on to have its world premiere at the 57th New York Film Festival on September 27, 2019 and received a limited theatrical release on November 1, 2019, followed by digital streaming on November 27, 2019 by Netflix.[73]

  • Mad Max: Fury Road: In 1995, George Miller re-acquired the rights to future Mad Max films from Warner Bros.[74] The idea for a fourth instalment occurred to Miller in August 1998 when he was walking in an intersection in Los Angeles.[75] About a year later, while travelling from Los Angeles to Australia, the idea coalesced. Miller conceived a story where "violent marauders were fighting, not for oil or for material goods, but for human beings."[75] The film was set to shoot in 2001 through 20th Century Fox, but was postponed because of the September 11 attacks that same year.[76] "The American dollar collapsed against the Australian dollar, and our budget ballooned", Miller said, adding that he "had to move on to Happy Feet because there was a small window when that was ready". Mel Gibson, who starred in the original three previous films, would not return to his role as the lead character. Miller ended up re-casting the role because of controversies surrounding Gibson and because he wanted Max to remain at a younger age, as the "same contemporary warrior".[75] Miller announced in 2003 that a script had been written for a fourth film, and that pre-production was in the early stages.[77] The project was given the green light to begin filming in the Australian desert in May 2003 with a budget of US$100 million, but the location was ruined by rainfall. Mad Max 4 entered then a hiatus in light of security concerns related to its Namibian shoot because of tightened travel and shipping restrictions at the onset of the Iraq War.[78][79] By 2007, after focusing on the animated musical-comedy Happy Feet, Miller decided to pursue the project again. He briefly considered producing Fury Road as a computer-animated film but abandoned it in favor of live-action. In 2009, Miller announced that filming would begin in early 2011. Tom Hardy was cast as the title character in June 2010, with production planned to begin that November. Principal photography was delayed several more times before beginning in July 2012. The film wrapped in December 2012, although additional footage was shot in November 2013. The film was finally released on May 15, 2015 with critical acclaim although after the release of the film in question, there have been results of ongoing pay dispute between Warner Bros. and Miller as to producing sequels to the film over the years.
  • The Man Who Killed Don Quixote: A loose adaptation of the Don Quixote tale co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam. Production originally started in 1998, but during the shooting in 2000, a significant number of difficulties such as set and equipment destroyed by flooding, the departure of the film's lead due to illness, problems obtaining insurance for the production, and other financial difficulties, led to a sudden suspension of the production and its subsequent cancellation. Part of the development hell is shown in documentary Lost in La Mancha. Gilliam made several additional attempts to revive the project[80][81][82][83][84] until filming finally completed in 2017 and the finished film was released the following year.
  • Pinocchio: a darker stop-motion animated adaption of the Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio was conceived by Guillermo del Toro in 2008.[85] On February 17, 2011, it was announced that Gris Grimly and Mark Gustafson would co-direct the film written by del Toro and Matthew Robbins.[86] On May 17, 2012, del Toro took over for Grimly.[87] The movie was initially scheduled to be released in 2014,[88] but the project was in development hell and no further informations were made for years since that. On January 2017, Patrick McHale was announced to co-write the script.[89] On August 31, 2017, del Toro told that the film need a budget increase of $35 million dollars.[90] On November 2017, del Toro reported that the project was cancelled, because no studios were willing to finance it.[91] However, on October 22, 2018, it was announced that the film had been revived, with Netflix acquiring it for a 2021 release.[92]
  • The Postman: Author David Brin described the ten-year effort to get his novel produced as a film. Production began in 1987, but the final film was not released until 1997. In the process, the screenplay went through so many revisions that the shooting script only loosely resembled the book, and later writers "borrowed" elements from the book to improve the film. The film was a box-office bomb and was negatively reviewed.[93]
  • Sangam (Hindi for "Union") is an Indian film that was kept in development hell for at least 15 years. It was under the original title "Gharoanda" (Hindi for "nest", literally "house of twigs") but was kept of by company R.K. Films, owned by actor Raj Kapoor, for a couple of reasons. Then, in 1963, it would be remade as Sangam, and would star Raj Kapoor, Vyjayanthimala, Rajendra Kumar, and more. It was released in 1964 with a duration of about 4 hours, being the first Hindi film with two intervals. It did commercially well at the box office.
  • Sonic the Hedgehog: The film based on Sega's own flagship video game character was in development hell going as back as 1994 when studios such as Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and DreamWorks dropped the script for a Sonic film.[94] It was until in 2013, Sony Pictures announced that its Columbia Pictures brand and Original Film acquired the rights to the video game series[95] and would be a joint venture with Sega's owned Marza Animation Planet and Blur Studio.[96] But in October 2017, Paramount Pictures announced that they had acquired the rights after Sony's Columbia Pictures put the film into turnaround.[97] In February 2018, it was announced that the film would be released on November 15, 2019.[98][99] However, after negative reactions from the first trailer,[100] the studio changed its official theatrical release date to February 14, 2020 for more retooling by Moving Picture Company.[101][102][103] The film was a box office success but received mixed reviews from critics.[104][105]
  • Space Jam: A New Legacy: A sequel to the 1996 live-action/animated hybrid Space Jam was in the works in 1997, with Joe Pytka from the first film to direct, Bob Camp to design an all-new character, Berserk-O! and his henchmen, and Spike Brandt and Tony Cervone signing on as the animation supervisors.[106] The potential sequel reentered development as Spy Jam and was to star Jackie Chan in a different script. The studio was also planning a film titled Race Jam which would have starred Jeff Gordon. Additionally, Pytka revealed that following the first film's success, he had been pitched a story for a sequel that would have starred professional golfer Tiger Woods, with Jordan in a smaller role. Pytka explained how the idea came from an out of studio script conference, with people who worked on the original film allegedly involved.[107][108] Another idea for a Space Jam sequel entitled Skate Jam was in early development with Tony Hawk in the starring role. Plans were underway for production to begin immediately following the release of Looney Tunes: Back in Action, but it was cancelled given that film's poor box office performance despite otherwise improved critical reception from Space Jam.[109] Over 10 years later however, talks for a sequel were resurrected with LeBron James as the main star.[110] Filming began from June 25 to September 26, 2019 with Malcolm D. Lee helming as director.[111][112] In addition, in March 2020, photos during the shooting were leaked as Warner Bros. characters aside from the Looney Tunes would also appear in the film, such as Superman, Batman, Pennywise, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy, Harry Potter, Joker, Gollum, Bane, Scorpion and Sub-Zero, Agent Smith, Mad Max, Finn and Jake, The Mask, the Gremlins, Tom and Jerry, Austin Powers, King Leodias, George the Gorilla, Dr. Manhattan, Harold and Kumar, Yakko, Wakko, and Dot, among others.[113][114] The film, currently known as Space Jam: A New Legacy, is scheduled for a July 16, 2021 release.[115]

Vaughn was cast as Racer X and was also attached to the project as an executive producer. With production never becoming active, Vaughn was eventually detached from the project.[120] However, The Wachowskis were brought on board by the studio to write and direct the film in October 2006. The film was released on May 9, 2008. Although critics gave it mixed reviews and was a box office bomb, it was received positively by fans.
  • Superman Lives: The name given to a project begun by producer Jon Peters in 1993 as Superman Reborn. The proposed film would have followed the comic story line known as The Death of Superman. Jonathan Lemkin was hired to write the initial script, but Peters brought on a series of additional screenwriters to overhaul the script, including Gregory Poirier in 1995 and Kevin Smith in 1996. Director Tim Burton became attached to the film, with Nicolas Cage cast as the Man of Steel, and several more screenwriters were brought on board for several more rewrites. Burton backed out in late 1998 citing differences with producer Peters and the studios, opting instead to direct Sleepy Hollow. Additional writers and directors were attached to the project at various times over the next few years. Peters' project went through several more permutations before evolving into Superman Returns, released in 2006, 13 years after initial development began.[121][122] The film's journey through development hell was later explored by a documentary on the topic, The Death of "Superman Lives": What Happened?, released in 2015.[123]

Russell.[136][137] On November 24, 2010, an interview with Mark Wahlberg was published by MTV with the actor discussing his involvement in the film adaptation of the popular franchise. He stated that David O. Russell was currently writing the script and was excited for what he had in store, hoping to shoot in the middle of 2011: "I'm obviously in whatever David wants to do but the idea of it is so off the charts: De Niro being my father, Pesci being my uncle. It's not going to be the watered-down version, that's for sure."[138] On May 26, 2011, it was reported that David O. Russell had dropped out from directing the video game film, with a new screenwriter being sought by Columbia Pictures.[139] In May 2017, Tom Holland was cast as a young Nathan Drake, with the film serving as a prequel to the games.[140] TV writer Rafe Judkins was brought on to rework the script.[141] On December 19, 2018, it was announced that Levy had stepped down from directing the movie.[142] On January 14, 2019, Variety reported that Dan Trachtenberg had signed on to direct the film.[143] On August 22, 2019, Deadline reported that Dan Trachtenberg had exited the film, with the film scheduled to go into production in early 2020.

  • Watchmen: The 2009 film based on the Alan Moore graphic novel from DC Comics had undergone much various production problems; such as penning the script from four different studios and directors and attaching different screenwriters for the project; thus halted the adaptation's development through twenty years. That was until 2006, when Zack Snyder, fresh out of production of then soon to be released 300, was hired as director for the film. It was eventually released on March 6, 2009 with mixed reactions from critics and was a moderate success worldwide at the box office; but received more acclaim from fans gaining more of a cult following over the years.

Music
  • Chinese Democracy: Rock band Guns N' Roses began work on this album in the late 1990s. In the time between its conception and release, nearly the entire lineup of the band had changed numerous times. It was once dubbed by The New York Times "The Most Expensive Album Never Made".[161] Recorded in 14 separate studios with reported production costs of $13 million, Chinese Democracy was eventually released in November 2008.[162]
  • Detox: A studio album by American hip hop recording artist Dr. Dre, slated to be his swan song album, was originally slated for release between 2011 and 2012 due to be released through Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records. Production for Detox began in 2000, but has been delayed several times as Dr. Dre wanted to concentrate on producing for artists that were on his Aftermath record label. Work for the upcoming album dates back to 2001,[163] where its first version was called "the most advanced rap album ever," by producer Scott Storch.[164] Even at the beginning of Detox's production, it was announced that it would be Dr. Dre's final studio album,[164] which has been confirmed at different points throughout the album's 10-year production process.[165] Because Dr. Dre had stated he was tired of rapping about marijuana use and stereotypical gangster lifestyle, he planned to make Detox a hip-hop musical telling the story of a professional hitman and his family, with an intended summer 2003 release date.[163] Initially announced in 2000 after the release of Dr. Dre's previous album 2001 (1999), Detox has gone through many renditions during its 11-year production period, failing to have a confirmed release date, due to Dr. Dre believing the project "wasn't good enough". However the album spawned two official singles, "Kush" and "I Need a Doctor". In January 2004, co-producer Scott Storch listed guest appearances such as 50 Cent, Eminem, Game, and Snoop Dogg. Keri Hilson told Rap-Up that she had recorded material for the album but was unsure if the tracks would make the final cut.[166] J. Cole stated that he recorded with Dre but refused to explain.[167] The album's production was eventually cancelled on August 1, 2015, with Dr. Dre instead releasing a brand-new album, Compton, inspired by the concurrent production of the film Straight Outta Compton, a week later on August 7.
  • Fear Inoculum: Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan announced at the 50th Grammy Awards in February 2008 that the band would start working on a follow up to their 2006 album 10,000 Days "right away".[168] However, a number of creative, personal, and legal issues delayed the writing and recording of the album, which was eventually released at the end of August 2019.
  • The Smile Sessions: Archival recordings of the Beach Boys unfinished album Smile took nearly 45 years to compile for a dedicated release. Numerous complications contributed to its excessively protracted delay, including bandleader Brian Wilson's irrational fear of the album. Brother and bandmate Carl Wilson compared the album's structuring to editing a film, as compiler Alan Boyd explains, "I think he was right about that. The kind of editing that the project required seemed more like the process of putting a film together than a pop record."[169]
  • Stampede of the Disco Elephants: This would be the sixth album from American nu metal band Limp Bizkit. The first single "Lightz (City of Angels)" was released on October 26, 2012. After many delays, the second single for the album, "Ready to Go", featuring label mate Lil Wayne was released on April 16, 2013, to positive reviews.[170] The band officially left their previous label Cash Money Records on October 26, 2014.[171][172] In February 2016, Metal Injection reported that the band was still in the studio recording the new album.[173] As of 2020, the album is still unreleased, with no release date set.[174]

  • Aliens: Colonial Marines: First announced in 2001, Aliens: Colonial Marines spent over 12 years in development hell. The original game which was announced in 2001 to be in development by Check Six Games, was cancelled. The video game rights for the Alien franchise were sold in December 2006 to Sega.[175] Gearbox Software subsequently announced that it would take over development of Colonial Marines, intending it to be a direct follow-up to Aliens.[176] The game would spend another 7 years in development, during which Gearbox's resources were also being consumed by other projects, such as Duke Nukem Forever, as well as its own franchise Borderlands, resulting in much of the game's development being outsourced to other studios. The game was released in 2013, where it was criticized for having various bugs and gameplay issues, low-quality graphics, as well as a lack of consistent continuity with the Alien film franchise. Further controversy emerged when it was found that Gearbox and Sega had presented demos of the game at conventions that had a noticeably higher graphics quality than the final product.[177][178][179][180][181]
  • Beyond Good and Evil 2: An upcoming sequel to the 2003 video game, Beyond Good & Evil. The original was released in 2003, was critically praised and gained a cult following, but was considered a commercial failure. Its director said in a May 2008 interview with the French magazine Jeuxvideo.fr that a Beyond Good & Evil sequel had been in pre-production for a year, but was yet to be approved by Ubisoft.[182] Ubisoft officially announced a sequel in 2016.[183][184][185] Ubisoft showed the first new trailer for Beyond Good and Evil 2 during their E3 2017 conference and it was announced as a prequel to the first game.[186]
  • Diablo III: Development began in 2000 by Blizzard North, and continued until the studio closed in 2005.[187] An entirely new development began in 2006, and the game was released in 2012.
  • Duke Nukem Forever: The sequel to the 1996 game Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem Forever, was in development hell for 14 years: from 1997[188] to its release date in 2011. The long development time was caused by numerous factors, including a switch from the Quake II engine to the Unreal Engine,[188] having a relatively small development staff by modern standards (3D Realms' co-owners George Broussard and Scott Miller infamously maintained that the game would be released "when it's done"), conflicts between 3D Realms and its publisher, Take-Two Interactive, over how it had been handling the constant delays, and the eventual bankruptcy of 3D Realms.[189][190][191] In 2009, the rights to the Duke Nukem franchise were sold to Gearbox Software, who eventually completed the game and released it in 2011.[192][193][194][195] The game was ultimately a critical disappointment, with most of the criticism directed towards the game's clunky controls, long loading times, offensive humor, and overall aged and dated design. However, it was a commercial success.[196][197][198]
  • Final Fantasy XV: Originally titled Final Fantasy Versus XIII, it was announced in 2006 as a spinoff of Final Fantasy XIII exclusively for PlayStation 3. Following a long period with little news on the game, it was re-announced as the next mainline installment of the series on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One which underwent large changes in direction such as making the game a self-contained story and replacing the main heroine.[199][200] The game was released worldwide on November 29, 2016, more than 10 years after it was initially announced. Additional story content was released post-launch in the form of episodic DLC.[201][202][203]
  • Mother 3: A sequel to the 1994 Super Nintendo RPG Mother 2 (released as EarthBound in 1995 in North America). The game was initially intended to be released on the Super Famicom like its predecessor,[204] before shifting focus to the Nintendo 64 Disk Drive. Following the failure of the Disk Drive, the game was shifted to the standard Nintendo 64,[205] before the development team's inexperience with 3D-oriented video game creation and a large series of delays led to the game being quietly cancelled in 2000. Eventually, assets from the cancelled project were collected and converted to a 2D format, and the project restarted development on the Game Boy Advance. Nine years after its conception, Mother 3 was finally released on the Game Boy Advance in 2006, but only in Japan.[206]
