14 Cinematic Questions We Demand To Have Answered in 2013

13. Will Michael Madsen Finally Break The Record For Most Unseen Films Made In A Year?

Despite the fact that Quentin Tarantino has tried to resurrect his career on two separate occasions, Michael Madsen is far from resurrected, but judging by the sheer number of film projects the former Free Willy star has in pre- or post-production currently, he isn't phased in the slightest.

He also evidently likes to pick up his pay-cheques without caring too much about what he's done to what remains of his credibility either. In 2013 alone, the man with the disarming scowl has six films pencilled in for release (according to his IMDB profile), as well as 7 projects that are listed as Completed, with release dates of 2012, that haven't yet seen the light of day (perhaps mercifully).

Of those projects only the Sin City sequel will actually be seen by many more than twelve people, and even then that looks doomed to fail from the outset, and yet somehow Madsen's agent continues to take calls from film-makers looking to cast him. If this is not some kind of record, I would be highly surprised.
