David Hughes has written a great little book called The Greatest Sci-Fi Movies Never Made. The book takes us on a tour of the development hell that can surround a project in Tinseltown, and the obscene amounts of money that can be wasted on a project that doesn't get made.Imagine if you will for a moment these following films that never saw the light of day.
Stanley Kubrick's Childhood's End
Philip Kaufman's Star Trek: Planet of the Titans
Kevin Smith's Six Million Dollar Man
Tim Burton's Superman Lives
James Cameron's Spider-Man
Terry Gilliam's Watchmen
Ridley Scott's I Am Legend
I would pay money to see any of them. But this book details why I can't see them, as well as looking at the troubled creation of some films that did get made like Dune and Alien3.
