10 Upcoming Movies You Won't Believe Are Real

Yes, these movies somehow exist.

With the film industry being in something of a perilous state right now, it's little surprise that movie studios are generally tending towards the most safe and predictable sure-things imaginable.

But where there are filmmakers with a bats**t crazy movie idea, there's a will to also get it made one way or another. And so, as loony as it seems, these absolutely wild films are all happening sooner rather than later.

Despite each of them seeming too ridiculous to be true, these 10 films are all in various stages of development and production. 

From the most unlikely of horror sequels to biopics the world probably doesn't need yet, and a couple of movies guaranteed to make you feel very old, these films all scarcely seem real.

Whether they're intriguingly off-the-wall or just head-smackingly cynical, each of these movies defies typical categorisation and seems committed to delivering a left-field slice of cinema, for better or worse...

10. Orphan 3

Orphan: First Kill is a film that categorically shouldn't have worked at all, given that this prequel to 2009's cult horror Orphan brought a now-adult Isabelle Fuhrman back to reprise the role of Esther - an adult woman with a hormone disorder which causes her to resemble a child.

While it's undeniably silly seeing Fuhrman portraying a younger version of "Esther" in the prequel - achieved by not-terribly-convincing makeup and forced perspective shots - the film has enough giddy surprises up its sleeve to just about get away with it.

Despite First Kill seemingly stretching its internal credibility to snapping point, director William Brent Bell confirmed last December that a third film is officially in development, with Fuhrman once again set to reprise her role.

Needless to say, with every passing year it'll only seem more ridiculous for Furhman to play this part, especially given that Esther dies in the original Orphan, so the new film basically has to take place between First Kill and the original.

We can only hope the end product is gloriously campy enough to make the ridiculous casting acceptable once again.
