10 Announced Movies That Mysteriously Disappeared

10. The Hunger

A clear attempt to cash in on the rapidly-dwindling zombie craze, 2016 saw 20th Century Fox acquire the rights to The Hunger, a book proposal that aimed to put a "Walking Dead-style twist" on the historical tragedy of the Donner Party.

The Donner Party refers to the group of American pioneers who became stranded in the Sierra Nevada mountain range during a harsh winter, with many of them turning to cannibalism in order to survive.

Luke Scott - the son of legendary filmmaker Ridley Scott - was set to write and direct, with his father's Scott Free label handling production duties.

Despite the novel not even being written at this point (it was eventually published in 2018), Fox clearly seemed quite confident in the film version, and yet, it vanished off the face of the earth shortly after its initial announcement.

It's likely that The Hunger was lost in the mix after the 2019 Disney-Fox merger, but with no official word, it's unclear whether it's cancelled, or simply on hold.
