10 Completed Movies You Will Never See

10. Temptation

Temptation follows nightclub worker Annie (Zoe Saldana) who agrees to a Faustian pact to ensure her boyfriend, Billy, hits superstardom. As a catch, Annie will lose a part of her soul if she says the words "After all I've done for you".

As is expected from any cautionary tale, Annie inevitably utters this phrase, causing her to lose her voice. As she attempts to undo the deal, she finds her life spiralling out of control and risks losing her soul altogether.

What makes Temptation more than just another modern rendition of the deal with the devil motif, is how the story is nearly entirely told through rock music. Rather than using lip synching - which is common practice - all the performers' vocals were recorded live for the sake of authenticity.

If Temptation sounds like your cup of tea, too bad. After it premiered at the New York Musical Festival in 2004, it was never publicly shown again. According to producer, Kerry Barden, Temptation is still "unfinished" but is expected to be released soon.

But since we haven't heard a single detail about Temptation in nearly two decades, it's a fair to say that's never going to happen.
