2000s

Untitled sci-fi film

In September 2001, Green told The Guardian that one of his future projects was a three-hour long sci-fi epic in the vein of [Andrei] Tarkovsky. [1] The project was apparently a starring vehicle for Paul Rudd at one point. [2] In a 2011 interview, when asked about the project, Green said "That's the best script I've ever read. My buddy George Smith, who's one of the writers on my cartoon series Good Vibes , wrote it. I'd want to direct it or support it or produce it." [3]

Untitled Western film

Another early project Green discussed was a "Gothic, southern epic" [4] script about heroin addicts in the Wild West. [1] [2] If made, Green said he planned to relocate a West Virginia landscape on a British sound stage. [4] Later, in 2011, Green said, "Nobody will finance that shit. I've been trying to get that made for ten years." [3]

One of them was to [make] Dunces, and [then] more than anything in the whole world, I really wanna do Fat Albert. I got really depressed because they were about to go into production on Fat Albert a year ago with Forest Whitaker directing, so I was super pissed."

Yeah that would be our flagship film if we can find a great international financier. I wrote it with my buddy when I was all drugged up on painkillers after having jaw surgery and somehow, in six days, we cranked out something we were really proud of.” [2]
