12 Highly Anticipated Movies That Never Saw The Light of Day

h, the movies that never made it to the big screen! The stories of the films that were never released, the ones that were canceled, the ones that were lost or stuck in legal limbo, the ones that were never finished or never even started. We all know the feeling of anticipation and excitement when a new movie is announced, only to be disappointed when it never comes to fruition.
For this list, we’ve compiled some of the most interesting, bizarre, and heartbreaking stories of unreleased films. From the ambitious, surreal rock musical Temptation starring Zoe Saldana, to the canceled Batgirl movie starring Michael Keaton, to the infamous penis-spraying fiasco of The Debtors starring Randy Quaid and Michael Caine, these stories will make you laugh, cry, and maybe even make you think twice about the movies that never made it. So pour yourself a glass of wine, curl up on the couch, and join us as we explore the world of unreleased films.
