Kurzbeschreibung

Think you know Hollywood movies? Think again!
No matter how many movies you've seen, no matter how many trivia contests you've won, this book is sure to have some surprises for you.
The fifty flicks featured here aren't playing at the local Google-Plex or renting at your video store. These films never actually made it to the big screen---they're the gems that got lost in the Hollywood shuffle, consigned to Development Hell. Imagine, if you will:
* Alfred Hitchcock's "The Blind Man," about a pianist suddenly given the ability to see
* "Destino," the surreal fusion of two gigantic artistic talents: Salvador Dalí and Walt Disney
* The unmade Star Trek film, "Starfleet Academy"
* Greta Garbo's triumphant return to the screen that never happened, "Lover and Friend"
* A senior citizens' "Animal House?!?"
Each movie here is a treat for the imagination, and also a lesson in the dos and (mostly) don'ts of Hollywood. In here are dramas, sci-fi flicks, comedies, sequels, animated films, and biopics certain to stir the imagination! For the movie enthusiast, this book is a speculative joy, and for the aspiring filmmaker, it's a crash course in cinematic survival.

Synopsis

The movies described in this guide aren't playing at the local cinema, or renting at the video store. These are films that never made it to the screen, gems that got lost in the Hollywood shuffle, consigned to development hell. For aspiring filmmakers, this is a crash course in cinematic survival.

Did you ever see the Marx Brothers comedy A Day at the U.N.? How about the Roger Rabbit sequel where it turns out that Bugs Bunny is Roger's father? If you never saw these movies, don't worry--nobody else has, either. However, they are (or were) legitimate movie projects, well-chronicled in Chris Gore's book, The 50 Greatest Movies Never Made.

The book lovingly details 50 films which never got beyond the planning stages for various reasons. Many of them involved heavy Hollywood hitters, from Steven Spielberg (who helped to get the first ROGER RABBIT off the ground), to DOUBLE INDEMNITY director Billy Wilder (who brainstormed the aborted Marx Brothers film as well as a Laurel & Hardy comedy), to Alfred Hitchcock (who proposed a movie about a blind pianist whose sight is restored).

While the book is a fast-paced, popcornish read, the book's not-so-subtle point is to make film purists gnash their teeth at the thought of these potential film classics never getting made. For me, the book's only surprise was that they left out many of my favorites, including Buster Keaton's proposed take-off of Grand Hotel, Charlie Chaplin's The Freak (about a girl who sprouts wings), and an aborted Western starring The Beatles.

It's easy to cry about potential film masterpieces that never got beyond the planning stage. The trouble is that, like many real lost films that come to light after being re-discovered, they often turn out to be classics only if they remain lost. And considering some of the awful ideas which do make it to the light of a movie theater--as witness the recent bomb AT FIRST SIGHT, starring Val Kilmer as (shades of Hitchcock) a blind artist who regains his sight--maybe these movies have rotted in Development Limbo for some very good reasons.

That said, the book will be an eye-opener to novices who have never heard the term "turn-around," and brain candy for those who have seen awful ideas that *did* get made into movies.

This was certainly a good idea for a book, but it was very badly done. What annoyed me the most was how Chris Gore kept ranting against the studio system, sometimes forgetting to talk about the movie in order to write a couple of pages about how Hollywood studios stink. (Hey, Gore, if there were no major studio movies, there would be almost no movie theaters to show Hollywood *or* independent films!)

Also, as other people have pointed out, he frequently doesn't go into depth about the movie in areas such as (1) why the movie never got made, (2) what ingredients might have made the movie so great, and a few times, to some degree, (3) what the movie is actually about other than a quick description!

His snotty and oh-I-'m-so-right-and-clever attitude will make you want buy copies of his book just so you can throw them at him.

P.S. - Hey Chris, do you still think "The Fantastic Four" movie is fabulous, and better than any major studio with a big budget could make?

While I did enjoy this book somewhat, I was baffled by the overwhelming number of typos and factual errors contained within. This was an amazing distraction from the otherwise enlightening content that Gore's book provides.
