Stamp & Deliver with Dan MIrvish

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 12 mai 2026 • Durée 53:54

Dan Mirvish, co-founder of Slamdance, comes on to talk about the unmade film that haunted him for years. Stamp & Deliver was a darkly comic postal western — think No Country for Old Men meets Office Space — and it got closer than most. Sets were built in Austin. Brittany Murphy auditioned. Ed Asner and Peter Fonda were in. Neil Young was going to produce and score it. Then 9/11 happened.

We go through the whole story, run the original script through our AI pipeline, and give Stamp & Deliver the trailer it never got and still deserves. Our film executive Meredith also stops by with notes — and sounds exactly like every development meeting you've ever sat through.

If you love indie film, hollywood stories, development hell, and the ones that got away — this one's for you.

Backlot—The Amateur Pornographer Table Read

Saison 1

jeudi 30 avril 2026 • Durée 10:58

It's been over 25 years since Matthew Rhys first read the script of The Amateur Pornographer. This project broke the heart of writer-director Christopher Monger.

In this special Backlot episode, actor Matthew Rhys, along with Ian McNiece and Meryn Williams Davies, share and read two scenes from the original screenplay. Chris and producer Ted Hope are in the room, reinvigorating the passion behind the script and desire to bring this Welsh film to life.

Christopher said, "Seeing Matthew Rhys and Ian McNeice and Meryn Williams Davies read a couple of scenes made me both happy and sad. Happy in that, yes, I think it is a good script; and sad because, no, it did not get made. When I re-read Amateur Pornographer I was filled with the excitement I had when writing it."

The Amateur Pornographer with Chris Monger and Ted Hope

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

mardi 28 avril 2026 • Durée 01:05:42

Christopher Monger, a Welsh native, was fresh off the Miramax release of his film The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill but Came Down a Mountain starring Hugh Grant. His next project was to shoot in a small town in Wales, and producer Ted Hope felt it was a sure thing. The Amateur Pornographer was nearly made with a young Matthew Rhys and later got traction at HBO, with one note: Could the film be set in the United States instead of Wales?

The Sisterhood: The Conspiracy Thriller That Was 15 Years Ahead of Hollywood

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mardi 14 avril 2026 • Durée 01:09:46

In 2007, producer Effie Brown and novelist Nichol Bradford put together a 40-page pitch deck for The Sisterhood — a global conspiracy thriller about a secret network of women of color who build an alternative system of wealth, protection, and care, and get targeted for it. The deck built an entire world around the project — a transmedia universe of community, content, and activism — before that phrase existed.

Hollywood still said no.

In this episode of Films Not Made, Effie Brown (producer of Dear White People and Real Women Have Curves, CEO of Gamechanger Films, Academy Board of Governors) and Nichol Bradford (author, technologist, Singularity University faculty, Executive in Residence for AI and the Future of Work at SHRM) join Amy and Avi to finally open the drawer on The Sisterhood — a project that hasn't been pitched in over a decade and somehow feels more urgent right now than ever.

Effie's pitch: "Bourne Ultimatum meets House of Cards — but with sisters." A vaccine that could collapse the global drug economy. A murder. A reckoning. And the question underneath all of it: who actually runs the world, and what happens when someone tries to build outside the system?

We run the full project through our AI pipeline: pitch deck, casting board (Angela Bassett, Danielle Deadwyler, Regina King, Lashana Lynch, Mads Mikkelsen with a satellite phone in a museum), a full trailer — and a live pitch to our AI film executive, who has opinions.

Effie's verdict on whether this could be made now: 1,000%.

How to Tame a Fox with Heidi Ewing

Saison 1 · Épisode 4

mercredi 1 avril 2026 • Durée 47:18

Oscar-nominated filmmaker Heidi Ewing (Jesus Camp, Detropia) joins Amy and Avi to open the drawer on How to Tame a Fox — her shelved script about two Soviet biologists who secretly tried to domesticate wild foxes in Siberia while Stalin was busy persecuting anyone who liked science.

Based on the true story of Lyudmila Trut and Dmitri Belyaev, this is a Cold War thriller disguised as an animal story — or an animal story disguised as a Cold War thriller, depending on how you feel about foxes that eventually sing.

Heidi wrote a full pilot during COVID, had a dream cast (Daniel Day-Lewis, Cate Blanchett, Joaquin Phoenix), and then Putin invaded Ukraine and tanked the mood for celebrating Russian scientists. Timing is everything.

We fed the script into our AI pipeline, generated a new pitch deck and trailer, and let our AI executive Finn weigh in. Heidi's verdict: still a f***ing good idea. We agree.

Some projects don't die. They just wait.

American Prometheus: The Other Oppenheimer

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

mardi 17 mars 2026 • Durée 57:23

When Christopher Nolan options the same Oppenheimer biography you've been developing for a decade, is it a tragedy or just really, really bad timing?

Writer-director Robert Edwards joins Amy and Avi to discuss his adaptation of "American Prometheus," the Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of J. Robert Oppenheimer that he optioned in 2006—long before Christopher Nolan made it a billion-dollar blockbuster.

The episode captures both the heartbreak of near-misses in Hollywood and the strange consolation of being crushed by one of the greatest filmmakers alive.

We discuss what it means to have “your” film made by someone else, the ethics and anxiety around AI in filmmaking, and why Edwards’ take—an “atomic noir” focused on Oppenheimer’s 1954 security hearing—might still have life as OTHERHEIMER.

Poodle Power: The Animated Iditarod Film That Didn't Cross the Finish Line

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mardi 10 mars 2026 • Durée 01:05:13

What if a team of standard poodles ran the Iditarod? Not as a joke—as a real animated feature film.

Amy Hobby and Anne Hubbell spent nearly a decade trying to make "Poodle Power" happen. Based on the true story of John Suter, who actually raced poodles (alongside huskies) in Alaska's legendary sled dog race until the Iditarod committee banned non-husky breeds in 1990. The project went through countless iterations: from live-action rescue helicopter drama to animated adventure, from Blue Sky Studios meetings to pitch sessions with executives who loved it but wouldn't greenlight it.

Amy reunites with her producing partner Anne Hubbell (Provincetown International Film Festival, Kodak) and animation veteran Kent Osborne (SpongeBob SquarePants, Adventure Time) to autopsy eight years of development hell. They dissect the original pitch deck, revisit brutal notes from Oscar-nominated animators, and explore why a perfectly good idea about lovable poodles couldn't cross the finish line.

Then we feed everything into the AI pipeline—scripts, decks, news clips, character descriptions—and resurrect "Poodle Power" with a new pitch deck and trailer. Plus, we introduce Bob, our AI film executive, who weighs in on whether this project has legs now.

Guests:
Anne Hubbell - Producer, Co-founder of Tangerine Entertainment, Director of Provincetown International Film Festival
Kent Osborne - Actor, Writer, Director (SpongeBob SquarePants, Adventure Time)

Hosts:
Amy Hobby - Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning producer
Avi Zev Weider - Award-winning filmmaker

From analog rejection to digital resurrection - Films Not Made hosts Amy Hobby and Avi Zev Weider unearth both Hollywood and indie film projects too wild, weird, or ambitious to ever hit the big screen. You'll hear writers, directors, and producers ripping open old wounds by pulling out abandoned scripts, impossible casting lists, and brutal rejection letters. These honest conversations with creators become AI resurrections of the movies that never were.

I Need Love: LL Cool J & Kool Moe Dee Love Story

Saison 1 · Épisode 1

lundi 2 mars 2026 • Durée 58:31

What if the legendary 1987 beef between LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee was hiding a forbidden romance?

Filmmaker Michael Tully (Ping Pong Summer, Cocaine Angel) wrote exactly that script during COVID—a hip-hop fairy tale he describes as "Krush Groove meets Brokeback Mountain." And yes, he actually pitched it to Kool Moe Dee himself.

We explore why Michael wrote a film he knew would "never get made," how he balanced parody with sincerity, and what happened when he approached one of hip-hop's legends. Then we take his script, run it through our AI pipeline, and create a pitch deck and trailer to resurrect this impossible film.

Joining the conversation is Loren Hammonds (Peabody Award-winning producer, Time Studios, former VP at Tribeca Film Festival), who brings his perspective as both a documentary curator and former hip-hop emcee "Mojo the Cinematic."

Guests:
Michael Tully - Filmmaker, founding editor of Hammer to Nail
Loren Hammonds - Head of Documentary, Time Studios

Hosts:
Amy Hobby - Oscar-nominated, Emmy-winning producer
Avi Zev Weider - Award-winning filmmaker, SXSW
