Upcoming Movies

I was wondering if this site counts cancelled movies like X-Men Origins: Magneto, Silver Surfer and Venom.

I know GiantBomb counts cancelled games like Star Wars Battlefront 3 and it had a page for Duke Nukem Forever when it was still in "limbo"

Usually if a movie is planned and gets cancelled we keep it in the database but from what I recall we don't want you adding already cancelled movies to the wiki.

X-Men Origins Magneto actually became X-Men: First Class. Since you can't leave the release date field blank, we can't really have cancelled films in the database.

you don't delete movies that never got made and never will get made? why?

@VioletEyedDragon: That would require me to keep track of every movie ever cancelled and every movie in our database. Pretty much impossible. I remember that Magneto movie being deleted, I think, because it was known that it was now Origins.

@FinalDasa: oh i don't expect the mods to go through and delete them all. I just thought that if they came across it or someone posted that they should delete it that they would.

@VioletEyedDragon: Sometimes its a good idea to leave a cancelled movie because it could turn out to be something else. But it isn't such a big problem as you might think, happens maybe a handful of times a year?

I don't know if we have an official site policy, but I think we should only keep cancelled movies if they're big or somewhat relevant. I know that's a vague statement, but it helps stop the database from getting overly-crowded.
