Very interesting additions, Matt. Thanks for the info.

Aw thanks Udar55.
There will be more to come.

I found another one.
It's by Paul Frees from the 1960's.
He wrote the script, but it was unproduced.
It was called THE DEMON FROM DIMENSION X.
Look at the title. Say it out loud. Mumble it a bit.
It sounds like something straight out of an episode of
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES.

In 1976 after Bill Osco finished off his erotic version of ALICE IN WONDERLAND,

Here's more information. From August Ragone.

August will likely reply and improve upon the information that I'm about to share, but "Gamera The Giant Monster Versus The Ice Men From Outer Space" (or "Gamera vs. The Ice Men" for short) was the original concept for the 1966 sequel, and was surprisingly an ambitious story idea, even by unproduced Kaiju Eiga standards.

The original treatment deals with alien invaders, The Ice Men, whose ice-based bodies grotesquely exposes their internal organs and skeletons. They begin their invasion by setting off multiple volcanic eruptions across the globe, in hopes that the ash-soaked atmosphere will create a new ice age, and thus drive an unwitting humanity underground, so that they can have total control of the surface.

Mankind however insists on remaining above ground, and the Ice Men are forced to reveal themselves, enslaving the human race in the process.

Meanwhile, Gamera is set free from the Plan Z capsule (not unlike the events from the completed 1966 film), and flies back to Earth. And by fortunate timing and circumstance, joins humanity in its final battle against the Ice Men, who also unleashes their own monstrous champion, the simply titled Ice Giant.

Unlike other monsters from the Gamera series, who were wildly original creations of a considerably inhuman design, the Ice Giant was going to be a very humanoid entity, heavily inspired by the fearsome Juton, or Frost Giants, of Norse mythology. Particularly the Ymir, who was said to be the most massive and ancient Frost Giant of them all.

And of whom the semi-tragic Venusian monster of the 1957 film "20 Million Miles To Earth" takes its name from.

"Gamera vs. The Ice Men" never got pass a basic story treatment, but the concept of a contradicting cold element against Gamera's fiery one remained, resulting in the finished version's title antagonist of Barugon.

However, the idea of a humanoid elemental being stuck with the Daiei production staff, who soon after replaced the element of ice for that of stone. And taking cues from the Jewish folklore creature known as the Golem, and a little bit of Japan's own supernatural legends, resulted in the creation of Daimajin, and his impressive trilogy of films from 1966 alone.

Here's a YouTube video on GAMERA VS. GARASHARP, which is was scheduled for a 1972 release.

GAMERA 2 (1996) was supposed to feature the comeback of Viras (from DESTROY ALL PLANETS), but it never happened, so they made a new monster, Legion.

For GAMERA 3 (1999) he was going to fight an evil Gamera, but it never happened.

Around the time of GAMERA THE BRAVE (2006), Cartoon Network was planning an animated series based on the monster.  Sadly it got cold feet when the character's relatively obscure status, and abandoned the project.
Sad eh?

More movies that never got made...

Wowie wow wow!
I read that article, and it was awesome. Thanks.
By the way, I was reading about DARK SHADOWS in a magazine stand, and I found out that before the movie, there was plans for a 2004 revival of the 60's show. It never got made at all. Nothing was shot. So instead, there was a TV-movie under the same name starring Alec Baldwin as Barnabas Collins.
Oh well.

You all know about the 80's 3D GODZILLA movie with a GORGO-like plot. Right?
Well, Steve Miner was planning to make another movie in 3D adaptation of another Japanese monster movie. RODAN 3D. Somehow, it never got made.
I told that story to my friends, and they said it was a bad idea to remake RODAN.
What do you think.

Thank you for the correction.
