20 Upcoming Movies Absolutely NOBODY Wants
Nobody asked for these movies. Nobody.
At its most basic level, Hollywood's goal is to produce movies that people actually want to see and, therefore, will make money either at the box office or on streaming - if not both.
Even the most made-for-the-art films are generally produced by studios hopeful for a return on their investment, but sometimes when a movie gets greenlit, it's tough not to ask yourself, "Who the hell is this for?"
While virtually all films are made for someone and we all have pesky blind spots, every so often a film gets announced whose existence seems to register interest with virtually nobody.
That's certainly the case with these 20 upcoming movies, each of which has been announced and perhaps even shot already, no matter that their potential audience is surely incredibly small.
It's tough to picture these films hitting at the box office in particular, and when they almost inevitably crater theatrically, there won't be much surprise - but a whole lot of shocked Pikachu faces.
Once again, the goal is to make films that people actually want to see, and it's tough to make that argument here...
20. The Last Witch Hunter 2
Does a single, solitary soul actually remember watching The Last Witch Hunter? This Vin Diesel-starring slice of fantasy-action junk quietly limped its way into cinemas in late 2015, where it was largely panned by critics and flopped at the box office.
It was an obvious one-and-done, then, except last September Lionsgate announced that they were indeed developing The Last Witch Hunter 2... for some reason.
Diesel is returning as star and producer, and here's the biggest surprise of all - despite announcing his retirement in October 2023, a 90-something Michael Caine will be reprising his supporting role as Dolan from the original film.
There's nothing quite like striking while the iron is ice-cold.
Granted, there was little enthusiasm for this one back in 2015, but a solid decade since most people ever gave the original another thought, it's utterly baffling that a sequel genuinely appears to be happening. Make it make sense.
