Explores the production issues and cultural contexts of Hammer's unmade filmsPresents a previously undocumented history of one of the most famous British production companies of all timeThe first academic monograph to utilise the Hammer Script Archive, which includes over 100 files on Hammer's unmade film and television projectsA significant addition to the burgeoning field of unmade film studies and the study of Hammer FilmsThis book utilises never seen before materials held in the Hammer Script Archive to present a new perspective on one of the most famous British production studios of all time. While many studies of Hammer Films have been written, none have accounted for the significant amount of creative and economic labour that went into over 100 unmade projects at the company.Using primary materials such as screenplays and correspondence, the book examines the production contexts of an eclectic range of Hammer's unmade films, ranging from the Loch Ness Monster project Nessie to Dracula in India script Kali Devil Bride of Dracula.Using Hammer as a case study, the book represents a significant academic intervention by being the first sustained industry study to primarily use unmade projects. The book offers a fresh perspective on a legendary film studio, and argues for the importance and sustained study of unmade films within film history.

Filmmakers and cinema industries across the globe invest more time, money and creative energy in projects and ideas that never get produced than in the movies that actually make it to the screens. Thousands of projects are abandoned in pre-production, halted, cut short, or even made and never distributed – a “shadow cinema” that exists only in the archives. This collection of essays by leading scholars and researchers opens those archives to draw on a wealth of previously unexamined scripts, correspondence and production material, reconstructing many of the hidden histories of the last hundred years of world cinema. Highlighting the fact that the movies we see are actually the exception to the rule, this study uncovers the myriad reasons why ‘failures’ occur and considers how understanding those failures can transform the disciplines of film and media history. The first survey of this new area of empirical study across transnational borders, Shadow Cinema is a vital and fascinating demonstration of the importance of the unmade, unseen, and unknown history of cinema.

Unmade, unseen, and unreleased film and television are an overlooked phenomenon in film and media history, despite a substantial amount of the financial and labour resource of these industries being invested in projects that are never produced or distributed.This edited collection investigates the key themes, debates, methods, and theories adopted in the study of unmade, unseen, and unreleased film and television. Each of the contributors provides a state-of-the-art overview of their particular topic, setting out the key arguments, and reflecting on relevant case studies. Setting out what is at stake in the study of unmade, unseen, and unreleased film and television, it serves as a foundational text for students and those new to this field of enquiry, as well as a key reference text for established researchers.The collection is centred on major aspects of defining the unmade, unseen, and unreleased, exploring methods and approaches adopted by scholars working in the field and providing critical surveys of existing output. The collection surveys the scale of unmade projects and examines innovative research methods by bringing together case studies on film and television industries from across history and across the globe.
