Live Poll: Movies With Longest Production Time

To me this list is important to highlight

1. A lot of independent films that do not get enough funding to complete in one go. They are shot when they get funding or the actors are available.

2. Movie productions that got delayed for significant duration for various reasons (especially pre-covid era).

Longer (years) delay in production generally means the movie never gets finished and it is simply amazing that these movies eventually got released and were liked by the people.

Also, there shouldn't be that many movies which stayed (continuously) in production for years without delays in schedules.

It is quite simple actually. Movies that took more than 3 years in production are eligible. The statement is inversely written in intro.

You also say "script to screen", which seems to be different (since a film doesn't go into production just because you write a script).

FYC:

The Man Who Killed Don Quixote

Gilliam started working on it in 1989, it went into pre-production in 1998, started filming in 2000 but was canceled, finally shot with new cast in 2017 and released in 2018.

Ok, I removed that remark to avoid confusion.

Added the suggestion. Thanks. 🙂

I have added released titles only. So, not at the moment.

Thank you. 🙂

I didn't see it before. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I can see the differences though.
