12 Shelved Movies That Would've Been INSANE

12. The Vega Brothers

Background: A Quentin Tarantino prequel featuring Pulp Fiction's Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Reservoir Dog's Vic Vega (Michael Madsen) as the eponymous Vega brothers. The film was set to explore the pair's exploits in Amsterdam prior to Reservoir Dogs and lead to the discovery of the famous "Royale with cheese".

Why It Didn't Happen: Despite the enormous success of both Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, Tarantino moved on to other projects and this ultimately resulted in both Travolta and Madsen becoming too old for a prequel to seem realistic.

Will It Ever Happen? Directed by Quentin Tarantino? No, but another director could revive the project in the future, cast younger actors and ride on the coat tails of the Tarantino brand.

There is also the option to de-age Madsen and Travolta which, considering Captain Marvel's success of taking Travolta's Pulp Fiction co-star Samuel L. Jackson back to 1994, is perhaps not that unthinkable.
