Planned Films As of 2010
- Freeloaders was a planned junction of forces with Counting Crows lead singer Adam Duritz. The film would revolve around five guys and a girl who lived in the lap of luxury in a rock star's mansion. But when the rock star decided to sell the home, threatening their sweet situation, the friends became determined to do whatever it took to maintain their rock and roll lifestyle, as hilarity and shenanigans ensued. Dave Foley, Jane Seymour, Olivia Munn, Nat Faxon and Clifton Collins, Jr. all signed on to the cast. Shooting began in February 2009, and as of May 2010, it was reportedly in postproduction.
- Jay Chandrasekhar and Julia Dray also planned to develop a comedy called Taildraggers, which had been written by Will Gluck. The film was intended to be about five twenty-something pilots who worked for a rinky-dink airline in Alaska. The plot kicked into gear when the guys found out a rival airline was siphoning oil from a nature preserve. This was planned to be the first broad comedy produced by Participant Productions, a company better known for making socially and ecologically conscious films, such as An Inconvenient Truth, Syriana, Fast Food Nation, and North Country.
- Marcus Raboy, best known for having directed Friday After Next, had signed on to direct the comedy Tow Truck, a joint venture between Broken Lizard and Our Stories Films. The film was planned to be about two brothers who resurrected a moribund tow-truck business to earn enough money to save their neighborhood from commercial development. The movie began filming in late spring 2008.
- Moustache Riders, a western spoof co-starring Willie Nelson and Johnny Knoxville.

Famous quotes containing the words planned and/or films:
“Every day care center, whether it knows it or not, is a school. The choice is never between custodial care and education. The choice is between unplanned and planned education, between conscious and unconscious education, between bad education and good education.”
—James L. Hymes, Jr. (20th century)
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
