10 Most Delayed Films Ever

10. Movie 43 (4 Years)

Say what you want about the abomination that is Movie 43, but it has one of the greatest casts in movie history. Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Halle Berry, Chris Pratt, Emma Stone, Uma Thurman, etc. If that sounds too good to be true, it is. Most of the actors wanted no part in the movie and only agreed to star since they were friends with the producer, Charles Wessler.

When the cast saw that the script consisted of racism, poo fetishes, and neck testicles, a lot of them tried to jump ship. To keep them onboard, writer and director, Peter Farrelly, told the producer, "Wait them out. Shoot when they want to shoot. Guilt them to death."

And that's exactly what the producer did. Wessler was so persistent to get Richard Gere, he waited an entire year for him to be available and then moved his shoot 3,000 miles to accommodate the star. After a painstaking four years, Wessler managed to wrangle all the actors he needed to complete the film.

Despite having the patience of a serial killer, Wessler's commitment was in vain. After only earning $32 million and a 4% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Movie 43's proposed sequels were cancelled.
