I've heard of a few movies that could have been made but weren't that I wish had been.
One was a frankenstein movie starring Rondo Hatten as the monster. Sadle he died of his arcomegalia before it could be done
James whale wanted to make a SF movie about going to mars but never got funding, I imagine it would have been great.

Gawd!
That I am grateful for. He was a gruesome looking guy- but his acting skills were nil.
Cronenberg was to make a Frankenstein film in the '80's. There was even an ad in Box Office magazine- but alas.
Cronenberg was also seriously interested in doing Basic Instinct 2. He even wrote a script, but the producers thought his "unusual" ideas for the movie weren't suitable for an erotic thriller.
Richard Stanley's The Island of Dr Moreau.
As much as I love King Kong vs Godzilla, I would have loved to see Wills o'Brien's third planned King Kong film-King Kong vs Frankenstein.
I would have liked the Green Lantern movie series to continue. First one had plenty of problems but it did have its strengths as well. Mark Strong made an excellent Sinestro and I could see how the series could have gone on and grow.
The unmade Beatles "Lord of the Rings" movie.
The Western Stanley Kubrick never made.
Not a movie but a series. In 2013, while waiting for the last book of The Wheel of Time (written by Robert Jordan), I kept in touch with someone behind the translation project, and I was told that a TV series about the books were in the way, but they were so God-awful horrific that they had no choice but to scrap the whole project. Looking back, I'm now glad that it was never made.
Sadly, it seems that the greedy widow of Jordan still tries to milk his work, because she sold the rights to Amazon. I'm vomiting in advance of how terrible it's going to be... :bluesad:
Stanley Kubrick's Napoleon
kubrick's alice in wonderland

You are so xxxxing right abiut that horrible piece of xxxx they made. It had exactly
one redeeming thing in it: Forrest J. Ackerman, the creator of vampirella and a major piece of SF fhandom (not a typo) had a cameo in it. I met him once.
Ken Russell's Dracula, which got as far as the script stage, ere the film was abandoned for his Lair of the White Worm instead.
That in itself was suppose to spawn a sequel Return of the White Worm, which would feature 2 American reporters, Prince Charles, a woman in blue, the British Museum, and an abandoned tube station in London. Which never got made, as the film distribution company distributing Lair of the White Worm went into bankruptcy. Oh, what might have been.
the "At the mountains of madness' movie.
