15 Announced Movies That Are Destined For Development Hell
11. Bill & Ted 3
Status: The third entry into the iconic comedy series has been in the works for years (so some might argue it's already in development hell), with the script reportedly being finished by early 2015.
Why It's Going To Development Hell: Because how many movies get a belated sequel over 25 years later, especially considering the modest returns of the second film, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey?
Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter have been asked about the movie for years and years, and almost every time they seem to give a similar canned response about another draft of the script being completed.
Winter gave a very recent update that the script, studio and director (believed to still be Galaxy Quest's Dean Parisot) were all in place, and that filming should start at the end of 2016 or beginning of 2017, but considering all the hand-wringing that's taken place over the movie, it's hard to believe this is actually going to stick.
The studio will drop out, financial backers will run away, or Keanu will get an epic scheduling conflict.
