That Fantastic Four movie still looks better than the latest one.

How fitting a film called "The Vanishing Act" disappeared.

John Malkovich: "Time to make another THIS ONE will get released!!!"

[GingerAldenPenner]

“Please make sure I’ve been dead for at least ten years before you show this to anyone”

[art.of.verser]

It would be a gross understatement to say that the number eight entry is a long stretch regarding the release date. Let's face it, if a movie titled "100 Years" is released on November 18, 2115, our great-great-great-great grandchildren will at least appreciate the overly dramatic acting chops of one, the indelible, John Malkovich and the flourishing directorial styling of Robert Rodriguez lmao 🤷🏾‍♀️

SUCKS THAT SOME OF THESE MOVIES NEVER CAME OUT!

I knew of an animated superhero movie called Big Bug Man that was the last movie Marlon Brando ever “starred”. He voiced an old lady and apparently he loved every second of it, but despite it was finished and planned to be released in 2004 (I think) it vanished from the face of the Earth, probably because by that time 2d movies were losing ground against Pixar and Dreamworks 3D movies and because it would have been compared unfavorably with the Incredibles.

There is also an inverse. There was a blazing saddles spin-off tv series which lasted FOUR seasons but never released. It was only made to retain the rights to the movie for a potential movie sequel which was never made.

That girl that ghosted Leonardo DiCaprio must be crying her eyes out

[mlggamer]

I literally thought that was a typo 2115? I see why it's called 100 years. Let's If I'm not mistaken I would be 117 years old! I'd be dead and gone by the time this comes out for real. Hey at least my kids if I have kids or grandkids will see it right? I hope they look up to heaven and says "hey granddad or dad you should have seen 100 years it was awesome!"

I would like to see Emires Of The Deep, that one has the most potential in my opinion.

[rasheedrashad]

Can't believe you missed the The Local Stigmatic. A vanity piece produced and directed by Al Pacino which never saw the light of day.

[PhilM]

Watch MOJO made this same video before. They literally just changed the narrator and released this again lol.

[isaacmartinez]

The Day The Clown Died was like Life Is Beautiful. I feel bad that Jerry Lewis didn't get to show this movie for us.

[gordonjamescowiest]

Number 9 isn't "surprising", the reason makes sense and the same can be said for Number 7.

[mckenziebryant]

Empire of the Deep looks cool and ambitious.

[donovandelaney]

There's also Godzilla vs the Legendary Wolf-Man. The writer is going to release the movie on DVD.

[federicomiyagi]

I really want to watch Dark Blood & Empire of the Deep
