No Budget Films
Future Film Ideas
What videos do we have planned next? What ideas are floating around for future consideration? This is where you'll find all that.
The Giant Chihuahuas
Status: Concept
This idea has existed for many years now. The plot would involve my dogs growing to massive size (a la Pumpkin the Superdog), with the protagonist having to protect the misunderstood giants from the authorities.
Magnaroth Wars
Status: Rough outline mostly complete
The ultimate of crossovers, featuring all (or many) of the villains and creatures from throughout No Budget Films. The protagonists would embark on a dangerous quest to gather artifacts and seal away the powerful Magnaroth Crystal (last seen in 2018's Return of the Curse of the Shrunken Skeleton), while being hunted by monstrous enemies. This film is envisioned as some sort of anniversary project, possibly for the 15th birthday of the YouTube channel in 2025.
Bobbington: The Series
Status: 1st episode script partially written, but likely abandoned
A series centered around the maniacal professor Bob Bobbington, who made his debut in the popular Dinosaur Attack 3 (2015). The idea has somewhat been realized through Bobbington shorts such as Feeding Time and Bobbington Tests the Mutatron Mark II, however.
AI
Status: Concept
A film about a sentient AI that rebels against its creator and builds itself a robotic body. The idea was pitched to Cooper who showed interest in writing a script, though beyond that we have not seriously proceeded with the project.
Bugs!
Status: Concept, previsualized
In 2012, I made a short little intro for a film about mutant bugs, which I've stated I'd never finish. However, I've been known to change my mind, and perhaps one day if that mood strikes me I'll revisit the idea. Arachnid (2021) may provide another peek at how the film could potentially look.
Alien Invasion
Status: Concept
Hostile aliens arrive on Earth with an invasion force. This is an ambitious idea with a lot of scope, so it's unlikely it'd be made any time soon.
Toyverse
Status: Concept
A series in which toys and figurines would be used to construct comical stories. Originally envisioned as political satire, but given my growing distaste for politics, this is looking unlikely to happen.
Terragnus
Status: Outline in progress
An epic kaiju film featuring our custom puppet, Terragnus. Creating a kaiju film has been a lifelong dream, and as such I'm 100% set on making this movie happen sooner or later. I do want to make it really good though, so I might give it a few years to allow my filmmaking skills to catch up to my vision. Various test sequences are being posted to YouTube as practice.
Lornwood 3
Status: Concept
The third installment in the Lornwood series will pick up where The Crocodile of Lornwood Lake (2017) left off. Cooper goes full conspiracy theorist and works to expose the Lornwood experiments, which are increasing in scope as another aquatic monster enters the mix. This new creature, likely a giant shark, will be pitted against the crocodile in a duel to the death.
Dinosaur Attack 5
Status: Outline complete, script in progress
The final chapter of the Dinosaur Attack series, this epic conclusion pits Bobbington against a dangerous new rival with ambitions to take over the world using an army of upgraded Roboraptors. The original green T. Rex is back and is mutating, now more powerful than ever before. Wannabe, deceased, seems out of the count... or is he?
