Talk:Steven Spielberg's unrealized projects

Poltergeist?

Should Poltergeist (1982 film) be added to this list? Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 22:15, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Reorganizing

Personally, I believe the whole page needs reorganization. There should ideally be three sections - first, the hypothetical projects (e.g. he expressed interest in there being a Close Encounters of the Third Kind 2) should be separated from the developed projects that were actually projects (e.g. Night Skies). I don't mind keeping films with unknown details in the latter category, but at least we could weed out those of the former and put them in their own section at the bottom of the page, as they were never really projects.

Second, I think films that he was attached to that ended up being handed over to other directors (e.g. him turning down White Lightning and handing over Interstellar) should be given its own section, as those films ended up getting made, just not by him, so it would be helpful for projects that were completed to be segregated from other unrealized productions that potentially could come back someday, which is a big part of why people come to this page.

And as an aside, The Adventures of Indiana Smith should not be treated as its own project, that is Indiana Jones in an early stage.

I'm willing to do it, I just wanted to see if their was consensus and/or objection. YouCanDoBetter (talk) 22:41, 14 June 2021 (UTC)

Should the offers remain

I reorganized the page as proposed, and I just wanted to know if people want to keep the third category I created, "offers". These are the films that were either studio projects Spielberg was offered and turned down, or studio projects that Spielberg offered his services to and was turned down. Given that they were projects with no evidence that Spielberg was ever involved with as an active project, should they remain? SweetTaylorJames (talk) 07:38, 7 October 2021 (UTC)
