Since the emergence of Hollywood as the global heart of film and television, the number of productions by studios hailing from that golden slice of California has ballooned beyond what anyone could possibly keep up with. While it is neither new nor surprising that not every concept makes its way in front of a camera, the idea that any series or feature film could be left on the cutting room floor in its entirety after shooting has wrapped is the most shocking Hollywood development in recent memory.Between the likes of Coyote vs. Acme and Batgirl being shelved before ever seeing a release date or series such as Willow and Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies being pulled from their respective platforms as a cost-cutting measure, fans have every reason to wonder what the future of film and television will look like. In an era where anything can be relegated to obscurity if it means an extra profitable quarter for the studio that owns it, audiences have been helpless but to watch as anticipation has been replaced with anxiety and, more importantly, Development Hell has been replaced with corporate tax write-offs.Rather than a literal series of studio vaults, Development Hell is the reality in which the films, novels, and other media reside when they are unfinished or, more often than not, never actually begin production in the first place. Although Development Hell is frequently discussed on a conceptual level alongside the state of being known as Vaporware, the two exist on entirely opposite ends of the creative spectrum. Whereas Vaporware is the name attributed to technology or products that are advertised with no intention of being developed in the hopes of drawing attention away from a competitor’s own, Development Hell is designated solely for earnest creative endeavors that, for whatever reason, never come to fruition.Superhero Movies Are in Trouble, but Superman: Legacy Can Save ThemHocus Pocus 3 Teases a Vengeful Turn For the Sanderson Sisters
