Joss Whedon's unrealized projects
During his career, American director and screen writer Joss Whedon has worked on a number of projects that never progressed beyond the pre-production stage.
In the early 1990s, Whedon worked on a Disney animated musical version of Marco Polo, described as being in the vein of My Fair Lady. In addition to writing the script, Whedon also contributed the lyrics to three original songs that featured instrumentation from Robert Lindsey-Nassif.
On June 25, 1993, Variety reported that Whedon had sold a spec script entitled Suspension to Largo Entertainment for $750,000, with a further $250,000 due if production commenced. The film was to be based on the premise of terrorists seizing control of New York City's George Washington Bridge during a traffic jam. On September 19, 2014, Empire reported that the script was being made, and that Liam Neeson was attached to star in the lead role.
In 1994, Whedon sold a spec script to Sony Pictures Entertainment entitled Afterlife for $1.5 million, with an additional $500,000 if production commenced. On March 13, 2000, Variety reported that Andy Tennant was in talks to direct and write the film. The film's plot was about a government scientist who awakes after dying to discover his mind has been imprinted on a mind-wiped body of a serial killer called Snowman. Although the project never progressed, some of the script's themes and ideas were later used in Whedon's TV show Dollhouse, which premiered in 2009.
In 1998, it was announced in Variety that Whedon was developing an animated Dracula musical, his first original screenplay under a deal with 20th Century Fox. Whedon was expected to produce and write the songs.
In addition to Dracula, Whedon was reportedly set to co-write the family film Grampire for 20th Century Fox, about "two kids who suspect their grandfather is a creature of the night", like the family film Grampire, about a boy, who with his friend, suspects his grandfather is a creature of the night."
Another Whedon project in development at 20th Century Fox in 1998 was the comedy Alienated, about someone who is kidnapped by aliens and turns the tables on his captors. Whedon was expected to supervise script development and possibly co-write the film.
Also in 1998, Whedon's Mutant Enemy Productions was planning a mid-season TV pilot for Fox Broadcasting Co. entitled Cheap Shots. Co-written with Ty King, the sitcom was about a group of people making low-budget horror films at a B movie company.
