Movies That Didn’t Actually Happen • Page 4

Apparently there was a CG Grinch film in 2018? This is blowing my mind

 

Looking up highest grossing films in any given year is a good way to find these. I have the vaguest memory of there being a Rampage movie in 2018 yet apparently it made over $400mil lol

 

It wasn’t bad tbh. Saw it in theaters

 

Oooh what about that G.I. Joe movie from like 2008

 

This is probably much more of a cult choice, but has anyone ever seen or heard of Big Man on Campus? It was always one of my dad’s favorites and my family has owned multiple terrible copies over the years, but I’ve never seen it mentioned anywhere by anyone outside of us. Has Tom Skerritt, Jessica Harper, and a very young Melora Hardin.

 

I think late 90s early 2000s movies are the best for this

 

Such as

 

so forgettable it can’t even be remembered after being in the OP.

 

John Carter is wild. In development hell for decades, and when they finally make it it becomes one of the most expensive films ever and they don’t even bother having the lead being some huge star, let alone the rest of the cast. It’s like they wanted it to flop

 

I cannot express how disappointed I was when he only talked for like one scene

 

I loved The Perfect Score so much when I was in high school.

Also didn't know the story behind Kangaroo Jack but I liked that movie alot at one point in time too

 

I remember seeing some fantasy movie in middle school that was specifically about dragons or something like that. Can't think of the title or anything else about it outside of it being really bad and ending on an obvious, "you'll have to tune in for the sequel!" ploy at the end (which never came).

 

I'm reminded of Evolution every time I see a bottle of Head & Shoulders.

 

Evolution might be my most nostalgic film that I’ve never actually watched. I spend most of my time not remembering that it existed, but any time I’m reminded of it, I immediately can picture that logo, & immediately I’m transported back to my youth, lol.

 

DID SOMEONE SAY DRAGONBALL EVOLUTION?!

 

I hate that there's a few movies in here that I actually really like haha.

also a lot come to mind that I saw on a whim in theaters but the first that jumps out is Blood & Chocolate a really weird werewolf movie.

 

Eragon?

 

That's the one. That movie did not happen.

 

I remember so many kids at school being obsessed with that book

 

What are movies that *should* fall under here but for some inexplicable reason became hits? Looking back, movies like Taken or The Hangover have no right being as successful as they were. I’ve never seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding but why did it become such a big thing?

 

The Fast and the Furious movies. They lost Vin Diesel and then Paul Walker. It seemed like it would become a direct-to-video series that would fade out. Now it is one of the biggest franchises in the world.

 

Remember Bird Box?
