While not an unmade movie, I think it would be interesting to go into the history of Disney's Dinosaur (2000) movie, that thing has a wild production history. It started as a Phil Tippett project in 1986 that was supposed to be like a documentary-like film set at the end of the Cretaceous, then it went through multiple directors (including one who wanted to use live-action lemurs) and multiple tonal shifts before finally becoming the movie that it is.
That untitled Einosaurus/Atrociraptor movie reminds me of an idea I had when I was a teenager. It was an idea for an animated kids movie about the dinosaurs trying to survive in the deserts of ancient Mongolia. Basically the twist would have been that the famous Fighting Dinosaurs specimen of a Velociraptor and a Protoceratops locked in combat was interpreted wrong, and it was actually the Velociraptor trying to save his friend Protoceratops who got caught in a sinkhole but got caught in it, too.
Oh my god,this is genius! It's literally the first time I'm hearing something like that,and it makes me think "what if that's true? Animals from completely different categories have helped each other before" and that makes me feel guilty because humans have the habit of misinterpreting animals (especially dinosaurs) as bloodthirsty monsters when they were animals with a soul sometimes scarily human like us, this made me feel heartwarmed in a weird but wholesome way, thank you, you had a very creative mind and i hope you still do :)
I wonder if it's common for dinosaur people to have stories like that. I had half a story in high school that was an Ankylosaurus and a Tyrannosaurus, and it was basically a Fox and the Hound setup where they met as kids and wanted to be friends, halfway through they got separated due to the Cretaceous extinction jumpstarting, and while searching the dinosaur apocalypse for his Tyrannosaurus friend as an adult, the Ankylosaurus was ambushed and mortally wounded by a starving Tyrannosaurus. He managed to crush the Tyrannosaurus under some rocks and before they both died he realized it was his friend who hadn't recognized him and they both end up dying together.
10:13 AH i knew it was delgado the moment I saw that sea reptile! His work on the age of reptiles comic is legendary and has been a major artistic inspiration! All the more sad to think a project with him and Gendy couldn't see the light of day!
Nice use of my Nessie commission from Lenny Romero at 5:34 timestamp when covering the film. I had commissioned that and alot other fan art for my 2019 Gfest panel Nessie: The Kaiju that Hanmer Loched Away.
I mean, asylum did megalodon frenzy as Meg 2 mockbuster But yeah, they should do asylum movies with sharks fighting against dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals
Absolutely! There were Nessie 'flaps', just like there have been for UFOs. If someone got funding for an expedition, it was all over the news at the time. A respected naturalist called Sit Peter Scott (who co-founded the World Wildlife Fund for Nature, and designed their famous panda logo) co-founded the Loch Ness Phenomena Investigation Bureau which was set up to study reported sightings of the Loch Ness Monster. Having big names like that attached made it OK for the BBC to do serious documentaries on the phenomena.
Nessie would’ve been awesome to see, especially seeing the level of awesome big scale effects Nakano was able to achieve in his disaster films like Submersion of Japan and Conflagration. I doubt it would’ve sounded as funky as Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds though.
Hey Diego, have you ever heard of the manga "Dinosaur Sanctuary"? It's a really great read and it shows dinosaurs in a very refreshing way compared to what we usually get from pop media
Is it possible that the John Sayles Sea Dragon script was actually a rewritten version of that Nessie film? Because I’ve noticed that the poster had oil rigs in it. Admittedly that’s an shot in the dark on my part, but it’s a thought.
Definitely not out of the realms of possibility, but along with the popularity of deep sea creature flicks, apparently the Loch Ness Monster specifically was reaching its own spike of popularity in the 70s
I remember the Walking with Dinosaurs movie was meant to have no dialogue. Then it got changed - made it almost unwatchable. I guess those other guys had the same discussion and knew it would be a bad idea.
Dinosaur was also meant to have no dialogue. Thankfully the final product is actually well liked by most people, likely because the change was made early and not at the last minute like Walking With Dinosaurs was.
I actually have an idea for a story that’s basically a prehistoric western. Basically Land Before Time/Dinosaur meets Blood Meridian or Red Dead Redemption.
Making the Nessie script situation interesting is according to some Kaiju fan panels and podcasts apparently a copy/revision is preserved in London in some sort of library but can only be viewed there due to copyright reasons. I guess the info got muddied up over the years as things tend to do.
I'm pretty certain the unmade Tartakovsky movie got turned into Walking With Dinosaurs 3D. The design of the young ceratopsian is spot on for Patchi and it was described as a "realistic dino film with no talking" that was "pushed to have narration over it".
thank you for another great video. many years ago, i saw a trailer for a film set on another planet, possibly mars, that featured a dinosaur graveyard of sorts, full of giant bones, including a triceratops skull. there was a group of people, possibly a family, that ran about during an earth tremor of sorts. does that ring any bells?
@@DinoDiego16 thanks for replying. the problem is that i can't recall the film's name, and i did search for it based on these details. i wonder if only a trailer was made.
According to what I've heard, there's going to be a fifth Mega Shark film to be titled "Mega Shark vs. Moby Dick", which will also be a sequel to The Asylum's 2010 film "2010: Moby Dick".
John Sayles had a knack for writing great B-movie scripts. Piranha and Alligator probably wouldn't have been as entertaining if he wasn't the writer. The Sea Dragon of Loch Ness might have been pretty cool.
The Einiosaurus/Atrociraptor one sounds like an infinitely better version of the Walking With Dinosaurs 3D Movie. If only it had gotten made! Although who knows, maybe they'll be able to make it happen someday?
I don't know if you have covered this or have considered covering this, but would you ever be willing to do a video about the original Jurassic Park 4 dinosaur/human hybrid concept and what became of it? (the Halloween Horror Nights house, etc)
Damn that's sad about West of Eden, I actually just read the first book, it's super cool and would make an amazing TV or movie series for sure, though the designs of the Yilané do look a little goofy for movies today so making them look a bit more dinosaury would probably be necessary. It was kinda hard for me to take them seriously as scary dinosaur people when they're these weird round pudgy dudes honestly. Not that it took away from the story, the Yilané culture is so fascinating. They've been around longer than humans IRL but they don't have our technology, their advancements went all in on biology so they basically genetically engineer creatures to serve as machines for them, it's creepy and awesome.
i feel like the only way we will ever get a dinosaur movie without cheesy dialog or narration is through something like kick starter at this point, which is really dumb especially when you consider it could be played in any country without the need for translation or even subtitles.
Dino Diego. If you wan to learn more about the the plot of Nessie, buy "The Big Book of Japanese Giant Monster Movies: The Lost Films-Mutated Edition" by John Lemay. He has also written other books about dinosaur movies, as well as kaiju films.
You could do a whole Video on the Unmade Godzilla movies, A bride of Godzilla?, A Space Godzilla, Batman meets Godzilla, Return of king Ghidorah or even the first attempt at an America Godzilla in the 90s With the mutant bats and the Gryphon
Yee, there was. I talked about it in my previous volume of unmade dinosaur movies, but basically, it was planned to be an NFT movie and when that fell through, they tried to make it an NFT game
Hey Diego, i would just like to ask if you perhaps are familliar or have heard anything related to this dinosaur show or movie that my friends at school were telling me about. The plot apparently went like this, a giant gorilla would kill dinosaurs either for fun or if they stepped onto its territory, it got to point that not many dinosaurs are left. At some point in the story, the dinosaurs finally had enough and decided to defeat the gorilla. After the battle, the gorilla has finally been defeated, unfortunately, the dinosaurs were killed as well. The only survivor was a hatchling. I was not able to find anything about this show and i am really curious to see it, if it is even real. Oh and another thing, apparently it was very gorey, like the same level as happy tree friends.
@@DinoDiego16yeah that’s a fair point i’ve looked how many unmade Godzilla movies were there and it was just kind of sad because some of them sounded like they would become a big blockbusters
Fun fact: the model of giganotosaurus on "mega shark vs giganotosaurus" is actually model of Tyrannosaurus from dinopark in czechia
Damn

Not gonna lie a fight between an oversized shark and an oversized theorpod would be ridiculously cool even if its one sided on both parts
Just give him an axe and/or beast glove
And a small alley
If it was shallow water it might be even. Dinosaur is slowed down, shark can't manoeuvre properly.
Make the theropod a Spinosaurid, problem solved. MegaShark Versus Ultra Spinosaurus, anyone?

get a patreon goig and do it sounds awesome
10:13 AH i knew it was delgado the moment I saw that sea reptile! His work on the age of reptiles comic is legendary and has been a major artistic inspiration! All the more sad to think a project with him and Gendy couldn't see the light of day!
I miss the world when I didn't know we lost the opportunity to see a Delgado/Tartakovsky collaboration.
Awesome video, as usual.
We were robbed by out of touch executives that prefer to play it safe.
I find it funny that the cancelled Asylum movie resembles the scene from The Meg(The Novel) and was used in Meg 2.
Nice use of my Nessie commission from Lenny Romero at 5:34 timestamp when covering the film. I had commissioned that and alot other fan art for my 2019 Gfest panel Nessie: The Kaiju that Hanmer Loched Away.
The release of Meg 2 would have been the perfect opportunity for The Asylum to bring this back
I mean, asylum did megalodon frenzy as Meg 2 mockbuster
But yeah, they should do asylum movies with sharks fighting against dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals
Why do you keep commenting here rick
@@kgmc29 if you look at people which are subscribed by him, you can see the Rick is also subcribing Dino Diego
@@Morrison-saber-tooth so that's why he was in the dromies
Nessie is such a missed opportunity. You have the best of both studios. (Sigh) one can only dream.
Yeah the people behind one million years bc and gojira working together
If they ever make a fifth Mega Shark movie, they should go with that original concept
They were gonna do a fifth one, with Moby Dick from the 2010 Moby Dick film, also by Asylum
Loch Ness fever was quite the rage during that decade. Everyone and their mother was trying to be make the next Jaws after the movie was released.
Yeah I love to see this movie become a success and maybe she will fight Godzilla in a sequel
Absolutely! There were Nessie 'flaps', just like there have been for UFOs.

i actually heard about west of eden almost being a movie
John Sayles had a knack for writing great B-movie scripts. Piranha and Alligator probably wouldn't have been as entertaining if he wasn't the writer. The Sea Dragon of Loch Ness might have been pretty cool.
At least Tartakovsky did Primal, but had he made that dinosaur flick with Ricardo Delgado, I would've loved to have seen in 2D animation.
I gotta see them all
Heck yeah!
And we're back!!
Looking at and hearing what the cancelled Einosaurus and Atrociraptor movie would’ve been has me the most saddened😢
I think it would’ve made more sense to use Spinosaurus instead of Giganotosaurus.
There one movie I would like to see is Dinosaur vs Dragon
Mega Shark + Mecha Shark ... it almost HAS to have taken place in Mekka, right?
You should do a part 4 of this
The Einiosaurus/Atrociraptor one sounds like an infinitely better version of the Walking With Dinosaurs 3D Movie. If only it had gotten made! Although who knows, maybe they'll be able to make it happen someday?

I don’t even understand why they’re cancelled Dinosaur Movies. Dinosaur Movies were interested. I wish Dinosaur Movies should’ve not cancelled.
Same lad
I gotta see these movies 🎥🍿🍕🌭🥪🍔🍟🥨🍦🧋🥤

I think primal
@@canonbehenna612 Primal shows that the concept works but film studios still won't give it a shot.

that thumbnail brought repressed memories
Wasn’t a Dinosaurs vs Aliens movie announced and then lost in development hell?
iirc it got split into NFT stuff during that techbro craze. 🙃
They're turning it into a video game now
Yee, there was. I talked about it in my previous volume of unmade dinosaur movies, but basically, it was planned to be an NFT movie and when that fell through, they tried to make it an NFT game
West of eden would make a great TV show or anime
Gotta see 👀👁️👁️
Can you do a video on the dino comic Flesh?

Sounds like a very cool concept, but it doesn't sound familiar
Oh ok, but thanks for replying though. I will try to do some more research about it, I'll also ask my friends more about it too.
We be ballin
I would have loved to see Nessie
so good
Where are they now 4:49
Since you’ve made a video of the unmade King Kong movies do you think you could make a video of the unmade Godzilla movies?
I may do it one of these days. Considering the amount of unmade Godzilla movies there are, it would be a very long video/possible series
@@DinoDiego16yeah that’s a fair point i’ve looked how many unmade Godzilla movies were there and it was just kind of sad because some of them sounded like they would become a big blockbusters
Dino movie 🎥🍿
Century 12
don't forget sharktopus.
Sharktopus wasn't made by the Asylum. It was produced by Roger Corman
