I don't know if this really counts but production had started and seems to have stopped on a fourth Re-Animator film called House of Re-Animator. There is some debate but it seems to be due to lack of funds.
It was to star the excellent Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West called into the White House to "re-animate" a recently dead American president. It's on IMDB here. What a swizz.
P.S. Who would have known that writing about this subject would be such a minefield of choice of tense!

That's a shame. The original Re-Animator is one of my favourite films and the third one was so gloriously over the top that I was quite looking forward to the fourth. Hopefully they'll find the funding from somewhere and complete the project.

I wonder if anyone remembers a film project called Legionairres?

It was funded by investors who bought shares in the production and would have been paid back if the film made a profit. Rather obviously the production folded before being completed, but I do remember seeing photos of extras and actors in costume on set.

It's a shame really because it would have been interesting to see the result of such an experiment.

I always felt the show Dark Skies had great potential. It was a bit ropey at times, but I liked the idea of chronicling American history - with a Fortean bent - from Roswell to Y2K. I think they got to around the late 60s before the show was canned.

I've been enjoying the TV series Threshold over the past few weeks on Austar's SciFi channel. Only thirteen episodes were produced before the show was cancelled. I watched episode eleven last night - and the stakes got raised hugely! In just two more weeks, it's going to come to such a screaming stop, I'll get whiplash.

And news reaches us today that Duke Nukem Forever may never be seen.

I think most people had given up on it anyway, to be honest.

Anyone who has seen Lost in La Mancha is probably itching to see Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote, if, as and when.

Does anyone remember a trailer that was linked to a year or so back, with lots of ww2 style german zombie cyborg ubersoldat types coming out of the sea?

I have a vague recollection (perhaps wrongly) if was some project Brian Yuzna was linked to? Or maybe it was someone linked to Yuzna?

Just wondering what happened to it?
