“Development Hell” is a term used by Hollywood to appropriately describe a film that’s stuck in limbo for an incredibly long period of time. Often, these are films that a lot of people would love to see, which can be one of the problems. High anticipation of a great movie can make producers nervous, which can lead to script rewrites, directors and actors walking off the project, and many other problems that might keep a movie from ever being realized.
Unfortunately, some of the highly-anticipated films find their way through the gates of Development Hell and into our lives when they should have been left to rot. Some folks may have liked these movies so please note that they’re on this list due to their overall failure in both the box office and in the hearts and minds of professional critics.
