Making a movie is a very tough task. Hundreds of people belonging to several departments work for months to make a movie that runs for about a couple of hours. Someone need to invest big money, someone need to act, and some other need to plan everything well. If something goes wrong, the project gets delayed, budget creeps up, or the entire movie can get canceled altogether. There were some great movies planned in the past, but they never made it to the theater for various reasons. Check these fifteen movies that were planned, but never released. 
7.Airplane 3

The first two movies were a huge success, so it was only fair that they would look at making a third version in order to milk more money from the public. However, Robert Hayes, who was of course the main star in the movie, decided not to take part as he felt that he would end up being typecast and it would ruin his career.

8.DUS

'The Shadow King' is an animated movie directed by Henry Selick. Selick's previous successful movie 'Coralina' (2009) had helped him to strike a deal with The Walt Disney Company. Disney had come forward to release the film. After reportedly spending $50 million on the project, the media giant backed out of the deal for unknown reasons.

9.Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope was a movie that was originally planned for 1971 and when Hitchcock himself thought it was going to be his darkest movie, then it really does tell you something. The problem was that studio bosses thought it was too dark and the main character was too over the top, so they pulled the plug on it and Kaleidoscope was consigned to the dustbin.
