10 Movies You'll Never See For INSANE Reasons
5. O.J. Simpson's Arrest - Frogmen
Frogmen was a made-for-TV movie that NBC intended to air in late 1994 to serve as the pilot for a potential TV series, focused on a squad of Navy SEALs.
There was a major, wildly unexpected snag, though - when the film was awaiting release, star O.J. Simpson was arrested for the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
All footage and materials related to the film were handed over to the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office for examination, while NBC executives swept through their offices and collected up every last screener copy of the movie to avoid leaks.
Given that the film reportedly features a sequence where Simpson's character holds a knife to a woman's throat, it's hardly surprising that NBC would want to keep it out of the hands of the press.
Though Simpson was ultimately acquitted of the murders in 1995, public opinion remained fiercely contentious and shifted towards a guilty consensus in the years that followed, ensuring there was never any possibility of Frogmen ever being released to the world.
