The Greatest Movies You'll Never See: Unseen Masterpieces by the World's Greatest Directors
From the 1920s and Charlie Chaplin's unrealized project of a Napoleon biopic (with himself as Bonaparte) to Gladiator II in the 2000s and Potsdamer Platz, abandoned after the suicide of director Tony Scott in 2012, this engrossing volume offers a detailed history of cinema explored through the films that failed to get off the ground. Whether over-ambitious or totally misguided, these are the movies that had the potential to be great and could have changed the course of careers.

This odd book casts an eye over the last century of film-making (or more accurately non-film-making!) and represents the results of some digging around by various contributors for info from lots of sources on a number of films which have not seen the light of day publicly, for one reason or another. I counted a total of 54 films for the main text, and mini articles on a further 15 films at the end under the heading “Not Coming Soon” — making a total of 69 films in all.
The entries for each main film vary in depth and range, and each has side-boxes with further information (either loosely or tightly connected) on either the film in question, or on personages associated with it. Also included are two specific boxes: one on “What happened next” and another on “Will it ever happen?” (which gives a rating — mostly very low — on whether the film discussed might ever see the light of day in the future). The main text appears to me to have been the result of a kind of cut-and-paste pastiche from various sources, sometimes making the reading a bit jittery… and this is not helped by the extras in the boxes — it all became a bit too much of a mish-mash for me…
In general, however, I would say that the gossipy (perhaps trivial) nature involved makes for interesting reading for dedicated film buffs. An added pleasure is the commissioning from several designers of possible posters for each film discussed in the main text — some great work there… (sometimes just these fake posters were sufficiently impressive to imagine vividly what might have been…).
My main quibble about the book is not its gossipy nature, but on the implication contained in its title. Just because many of the directors had made “memorable” films does not mean that every film they ever made was necessarily great. Some real duds can, and did, just as readily, result! Having an “idea” about a film, no matter how “great” the subject matter might be, is no guarantee that, had the film been made, it actually would have been “great”. The conceit that what was not made was a loss we all should mourn is not really sustainable.

A fascinating read that only skims the surface about 60 films that were almost made. It felt like there was a lot more digging that could have been done, or some way to incorporate more research and responses by the cast/crew or reporters of the time.
It’s a good springboard to research or look into some of these movies into more detail considering how many documentaries of some of these movies there already is.
It’s a shame it’s not quite mandatory reading.

Other than wanting to showcase the concept posters of what-if movies never made, there wasn't any other reason this had to be an awkward-sized coffee table book. But set aside the poor ergonomics and you have an interesting overview of movies never made, told in concise, straightforward style that manages to thread the needle between clinical film history and Hollywood gossip. It's also interesting to read a number of these entries in light of more recent releases (hello specifically to Gladiator II) that have superseded the original write-ups.

Not expecting much but it turned out to be better than I had hoped. Selected as bedtime reading, with a few entries per night, but it turns out there were enough interesting, even tantalising, bits of knowledge about directors I actually care about (Welles, Bresson, Dreyer, Kubrick, Miyazaki, Lynch, Powell, etc.). But not every entry was equally compelling. Still just literary junk food but fine for what it is.

It’s interesting to see how many films never actually get made and why

I received this book for Christmas 2013, along with I Am Malala and Doctor Sleep (neither of which I have yet read, I am embarrassed to admit). This title was one I had anticipated for some time, so it makes sense I would pick it up first.
It is basically a pocket history of movies that were planned, written and sometimes began filming, yet never ended up being completed or if made, released. Starting in the 1920s and ending as recently as 2012, the contributors describe projects from the who's who of the film industry that never reached fruition.
Orson Welles features quite prominently, in fact he had a junhked project in every decade until his death in 1985. Steven Speilberg's name appears a few times, alongside notable directors such as Eisenstein, Coppola, Lean, Burton, Scorsese, The Coen Brothers, Hitchcock, Kubrick - and many many others.
I found it fascinating to learn more about the machniations of the movie industry, in particular the ravages of securing funding and recalcitrant studio heads who could change their minds with a click of their fingers, consigning an erstwhile amazing film to the bin in an instant.
Some ideas metamorphosed into other projects. Steven Speilberg's 1980 idea, Night Skies, contributed material to E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. Terry Gilliam's The Defective Detective had concepts that were incorporated into The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
If you have a favourite director from the last 50 years or film, the odds are they will make an appearance here. Each article features a "Will It Ever Happen?" tag at the end where a score out of ten is given. The highest score is 5/10, reserved for Speilberg's The Trial of the Chicago Seven, David Fincher's (Seven, Fight Club) Black Hole, Blomkamp's (District 9) Halo: The Motion Picture.
The saddest part of reading this book, for me, was the amount of projects that sounded so fantastic on paper but just didn't have legs. I found myself constantly thinking as I read this book "I would see that - and that - and that!" At least it shows that even with all their clout, even acclaimed directors have their also-rans. It gives me hope for the rest of us plebs!
Anyone with even a passing interest in movies would enjoy this book I think, because of the quirky subject matter. There are plenty of great illustrations and photographs, including poster art for every "non-movie" featured.
Highly recommended!

This is a better-than-I-expected look at a group of films that the public has never seen. All had at least some planning done. In some cases, considerably more work was done; many of them were partially shot. One, in fact, was completed. None of them were ever released.
The book tells what happened to each film. It deals in some depth with fifty-four films and then, more cursorily, with eighteen others. One of them (Return from St. Helena, planned to be directed by and starring Charlie Chaplin) might have been silent. The others range from the 1930s until 2012.
For each of the films that are given longer discussions, there is a summary of basic information (director, stars, genre, and likely year of release), material about how the planning came about and what went awry, a section titled "Will It Ever Happen?" with a brief discussion and probable (never very good) odds that the film will someday appear, a section titled "What Happened Next..." which tells what happened to some of the principals after their work on the film being discussed, some photographs relating to the film, and a mocked-up poster for the film. The other eighteen films each get one picture and a brief discussion of what the film was to be and what went wrong. The write-ups are by the editor of the book, Simon Braund, and fifteen other people (all but one of whom are male, I note).
Most of these films were planned with directors in mind. Of the fifty-four discussed in detail, only three don't have an intended director listed. One of these, War of the Worlds, would clearly have been directed by Ray Harryhausen. The others were Brazzaville, which was intended to be a sequel to Casablanca, and Warhead, featuring the character James Bond. Of the other eighteen films, four don't have intended directors listed, but the one of these written by Leo McCarey would, I think, likely have been directed by McCarey himself.
One director makes up a substantial chunk of the book. Five of these films, most at least partially shot, were to be directed by the great Orson Welles. This is tragic, but so is the mutilation by the studios of some films of his that were released.
Other directors with films included in this book are Sergei Eisenstein, Billy Wilder, Sergio Leone, Alfred Hitchcock, Francis Coppola, Quentin Tarantino, Carl Dreyer, Stanley Kubrick, Federico Fellini, Robert Bresson, Michael Powell, Steven Spielberg, Sam Peckinpah, Louis Malle, David Lynch, David Lean, Terry Gilliam, Ridley Scott, Oliver Stone, Tim Burton, Barry Levinson, Joel and Ethan Coen, David O. Russell, and more.
Goodreads reviewer Al Bità makes the excellent point that despite the assertion on the front of the dust jacket of the hardcover edition of this book that these films are "unseen masterpieces by the world's greatest directors," there is really no reason to think that all, or even a substantial number, of the films discussed might have been "masterpieces."
The "posters" designed for the fifty-four films that are discussed at some length are just about the best thing in the book. A few of them are poor. The last one in the book, representing the film Potsdamer Platz, by someone named Dean Martin, is partly lifted from a real poster for the 2010 film The American. Unfortunately for Mr. Martin, the original poster appears as an illustration on page 219; Mr. Martin removed George Clooney's head and replaced it with Javier Bardem's.
The posters I like best are those for A Princess of Mars, No Bail for the Judge, Genesis (although this does not suggest Robert Bresson to me), The Day the Clown Cried, Ronnie Rocket, The Lady from Shanghai (not the Orson Welles film of that name), To the White Sea, Shantaram (although I wish the title were easier to read), and my favorite, Il Viaggio di G. Mastorna.
The front of the dust jacket for the 2013 Aurum Press Limited edition is not very good. There is a fine index.
So which of these films really would have been outstanding? There is no way to tell. But I have no doubt that some of them would have been wonderful.

This was an incredible walk down the path of "What might have been." The book was divided up by decades, and within each of those chapters several movies were discussed. Each of these movies almost became reality, but for various reasons, none every fully got produced. Reading through some of the plots you understood why, very far fetched, or grim, or gory, or just plain unworkable. What I found interesting where the James Bond, and Star Trek movies that never saw the light of day, though the Bond did, in certain ways turn into Thunderball and Never Say Never Again. It was fun to read about the creative process of the directors, and others, who were working to bring these films to fruition.

Con abundantes pormenores relacionados con la producción y detalles jugosos del detrás de escena, se hace un recorrido a los proyectos truncos de los directores más emblemáticos de la historia del cine.
Desde proyectos que nunca pasaron la pre-producción, hasta películas filmadas en su totalidad que no pudieron ver la luz.
Es muy interesante cómo algunas ideas atormentaron a estos creadores a lo largo de toda su filmografía o cómo otras derivaron e influenciaron sus otros trabajos.
Resulta un libro muy entretenido para aquellos que disfrutan de los entretelones del cine y del proceso de realización que implica llevar una película a término. Y lo frustrante que en ocasiones este proceso puede resultar.

This is the best book on the subject I've ever read. I'm kind of enamored with development hell and unfinished mangum opuses. Some are very pop culture-centric and franchise focused, covering the proto Marvel and DC film universes, the various itinerations of the the Alien 3 script, etc.
This one does some "Deeper" cuts such as Carl Theodor Dryer's Jesus film, the unfinished Orson Welles productions, etc.
It also covers what exists, if anything that you can see (cobbled versions, other directions by other teams, etc).

This is a great book for dipping into - all the individual "never to be" films are covered in a few pages. It's a mix of films that really should have been made and those that really shouldn't have! I'm not going to go into detail there because others are bound to disagree.
The highlights of the book are the posters for the films (whether real or created just for the book) and the illustrations (some stills, some production shots, some not).

Honestly, most of these films that remain unmade can stay that way. Simply not that interesting. But I really wish that the brilliant Bob Clampett could have completed A Princess of Mars (yes, Burroughs first John Carter book), but MGM balked. I'd also have liked to have seen harryhausen do his version of war of the worlds. At least i have George Pals version.

Nejsem zrovna milovník filmů, ale toto je už několikátá knížka o Hollywoodu, která se mi dostala pod ruku...
Opět dost zajímavá. Jeden nebo dva z těchto filmů bych i ráda viděla.
Ale jinak se mi opět potvrzuje, že Hollywood je hlavně velký byznys. Takže mě vlastně ani nemrzí, že filmy nesleduju a toto šílenství nepodporuju.
Každopádně ale zajímavé si o tom počíst.

El libro es súper entretenido, está bien escrito, tiene una propuesta interesante y es una edición hermosa. Pero falla en un punto que considero importante remarcar: varias de las películas que supuestamente JAMÁS VERÁS, hoy ya las podés ver. Es verdad, se publicó en 2013 y yo lo leí 12 años después, pero eso no salva al título mentiroso.
Recomendado para curiosos del cine.

This was a fun read filled with what ifs. The common denominator - you can't see any of the films discussed. While some never progressed beyond the treatment stage, at least one is finished but locked in a vault. The rest are some stage in between. The date of publication may be a factor in the mention of many projects derailed by the Writers Guild strike in 2007; that seems a special case and feels overrepresented here. A few other motifs turn up repeatedly, such as megalomaniac directors who set their sights on Napoleon and are no more successful at pulling it off than the little corporal was in taking Russia. A few proposals left this reader feeling it was just as well (fancy a sequel to Casablanca set in Brazzaville?), but others feel like genuine losses, such as a life of Jesus by Carl Theodor Dreyer aimed at treating the protagonist as human. Terry Gilliam, one of whose projects is featured, is philosophical, and calls these projects workouts between real films. That may be so for most, but it seems as if Orson Welles is in a category of his own. Many of his projects are featured here, in fact, they seem to outnumber his completed films (although I haven't checked). It seems it would take a secret agent or a psychiatrist to try to figure out what happened to his career, or perhaps it simply epitomises all we know and don't necessarily love about the business of making movies. In fact, by the time you finish reading this, you may wonder how any films get made at all. A good read, recommended for anyone who cares about movies.

This was a very interesting look back at an alternate history of Hollywood in which a lot of interesting movies didn't get made, usually involving both money and the egos of the director, the producers, or the studios. My biggest disappointment with the book would be that in trying to pack in so many titles over 250 pages that there are not enough deep digs into the films. And, considering that most of the movies here barely made it to the shooting stage if at all, there is a lot of repetition in talking about the process, as most entries contain at least one part dedicated to all the actors, writers, etc. who were attached or even rumored to be attached. While this level of meticulous research should have been welcome, it ended up making the book more of a slog than I was expecting, though I would still recommend it for the information on the films themselves.

I loved this book and, having read several others of a similar type, I think it's the best of it's kind. More so, I love this type of book. It's magazine article style design makes it easy to pick up and read a story, then put it aside until whenever.
Well illustrated with photos and art, a cool gimmick with this book is that the publishers hired a number of artists to come up with might-have-been poster art for each unmade or unfinished film.
The stories span the 1920s through 2013. I read it in about 2018 and I was surprised at how up-to-date even the last few stories seemed. There's much known about the history of popular movie releases, but who knows about unmade films like David Lynch's Ronnie Rocket or Spielberg's hostile alien movie that completely changed course to morph in E.T. This book belongs in the library of any hard core film buff and is great reading for anybody.

I loved this collection of films that were in discussion to be made or in some cases almost made. Or, some which actually had filming done but were shut down. What makes this great is the list of the greatest directors of all-time who failed to get passion projects made. Kubrick, Welles, Lynch, Hitchcock, Fellini, Coen Brothers, Coppola and on and on. Wisely, fake posters were created for these fake films to give a visual cue what it might have looked like and many of the posters are flat out awesome. David Lynch's RONNIE ROCKET for example is a jawdropper if you like such things. And I do. As a film lover, reading through these films, it makes me dream of being able to see them...what a shame a bunch of these never got made.

An interesting overview of films that would probably have been great, but which were never made for some reason. The background to each is discussed, including the reasons for the project failing, and the likelihood of it ever reaching the screen is considered. There's some great artwork included in the form of mock-ups of the poster art for each film. While I'd heard of some of these projects there were others included that I hadn't read about before - both categories were interesting. Would recommend the book to cinema lovers with an interest in the many steps it takes to bring a movie to the screen.

For cinephiles to mourn and investigate about. On one hand you're saddened that potential classics weren't made for a myriad of reasons (from petty "creative differences" to unfortunate deaths). And on the other you instantly want to seek out the unrealized screenplay or source material that inspired your favorite directors to make the film. Whatever the case, film fans will be delighted at what's to be found here: Detailed looks into unseen and potentially great films with script excerpts, stills, and original poster artwork. Highly recommended.

This was a great overview of unmade projects throughout Hollywood's history. I'd have loved more in-depth stories about quite a few of these (Dune, Night Skies, etc) but as an overview, this can't really be beat. Really fascinating to think how these might have shifted the landscape in Hollywood.
By the way, I absolutely love the graphic design work for the imaginary posters - quite a few of these I'd love to have as posters.

HERE'S WHAT I LIKED: The extensive research that was done on finding out why these films never got made or finished, updates on whether or not they ever will be and the glorious fake posters!
HERE'S WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: The disappointing omission of DARK BLOOD, the confusing anecdotes and the teeny tiny headache inducing print.

February 9, 2015You won't get a lot of detail on the films covered in this book, but it is an entertaining romp through the land of films that mostly died in pre-production and a few that were suppressed even though they were finished because the result was too horrible to release.

This is a definite page turner, but it's a light read and the best part are the extremely well designed posters.
