Dr. Who (????) Director, project not realized

The Dr. Who Movie Mr. Nimoy Never Directed

While reading up on Benedict Cumberbatch I found out that he was asked to play Dr. Who in the British TV series but declined to do so. From a few interviews I remembered that Mr. Nimoy was approached to direct a Dr. Who movie adapted to a U.S. audience by Denny Martin Flinn who also had a hand in writing Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. What I didn't know so far was why the movie never got off the ground. Amused by this second coincidence after both were involved with projects about Vincent van Gogh, I thought this was as good a time as any to find out. To my surprise I learned that there had been more than just talk but that the production company had let the rights slip at the last moment. Read more about it here.

The antimatter experiments Gus and his friend Peter Rucker were running went haywire, reading the game's villain file and sending them into the real world to act out their programming. Gus, Lauren, and Peter are then forced to play the game for real. IMDB

While there, they get married to satisfy the conservative elders in the community. Peter hides their loot in a secret hiding place, but then soon dies in a car wreck. His much younger brother Zeke is called upon to replace his brother and marry Havana. Zeke already hates Havana because he believes she is what changed his brother. She begins looking through everything that was Peter's, and Zeke rightly deduces that Peter hid something from her. He finds the money, along with a newspaper article that mentions Peter as the prime suspect in the robbery. Zeke initially uses the cash to trick his bride into doing housework. Later he shows it to the elders, who deem that it should be returned to its rightful owners. Zeke and Havana (who claims innocence of the source of the money) are sent on a quest back to the US to return the money. IMDB
