Here's something you didn't know you wanted until after you'd learned you weren't getting it: there was supposed to be a kind of Small Soldiers reboot movie courtesy of Justin Lin. Way back in 2014, Fox bought the rights to Toymageddon, which was to be a live-action family adventure movie channelling Jurassic Park and Ghostbusters in which a toy factory runs amok.

Some enterprising commenters are suggesting the movie was supposed to be a full Small Soldiers reboot, though that original film came out from Universal, so it would be a strange one. Perhaps it's just more likely that it was to be very similar. It's not like Small Soldiers was the first and only movie to do that sort of idea. It's just a shame that it offers so much promise for what this COULD have been.

Because Small Soldiers is legitimately brilliant.
