A late 90s Lupin III movie would have been utterly insane, and probably would have had at least two nude Fujiko scenes.
1997 Jim was also him coming off of Liar, Liar, which made $302 million opposite a $45 million budget, so he was still in demand. Come to think of it, if it did get filmed, odds are it would have been in theaters around the same time as the second Austin Powers movie. That would have been an interesting box office battle.
To elaborate, recently, a screenwriter named Peter Briggs, who wrote the 2004 Hellboy movie, said on Twitter that circa 1997 he was writing a live-action Lupin III movie with producers Tsui Hark & A. Kitman Ho for which they were eyeing Jim Carrey. According to Briggs it was the "craziest screenplay [he] ever wrote!"
If I'm being honest, I'm not that bothered that it didn't get made. The cynic in me says that it really would have just been okay at best, and would have bombed in the US despite having Jim Carrey in it.

Michael Bay has bounced from a Will Smith led film and his keeping himself busy with an Outrun movie (yes, the old Sega arcade game) and returning to Transformers. Less than a day after the Skydance deal for Paramount closed, Bay has announced his return in the funniest way.

I think if you need to rely on Chat GPT for second opinions when you’re running a country - you don’t deserve to be running a country.

Looking over what they trashed, and how this has the same production issues as Invincible (a very expensive voice cast and less than stellar animation) I see why Hasbro pulled the plug. This apparently got commissioned the same time as the infamous IDW Revolution crossover which was supposed to establish a big shared Hasbroverse for all their titles…and it bombed so spectacularly IDW had to reboot its Transformers and G.I. Joe comics…which bombed so hard it led to Hasbro yoinking the license and eventually giving it to Skybound. My guess is that after Revolution, Hasbro only trusts two of its in-house brands (three if you count My Little Pony although it was never connected to the Hasbroverse), Transformers and G.I. Joe. Everything else, Micronauts, ROM, Visionaries, and especially Jem and the Holograms, are considered radioactive and incapable of supporting a product line. So scrap this cartoon even if it does have Clancy Brown, Dante Basco, and Sean Astin. It’s telling their only real move was giving Marvel full permission to reprint the Marvel run as an omnibus.
So…anyone want to talk about an unreleased Micronauts cartoon with voice actors like Clancy Brown getting leaked?


There’s a few things to talk about, like this was Peak Hasbro “Make Everything As Murican as Possible So We Don’t Catch a Case of the Weeb” design philosophy lifted from the Nacelleverse.
There’s also the fact that 52 episodes of completed animation including a tie-in toy-line and hints at crossovers with the Transformers (they specifically refer to their method of travel as using a Space Bridge, a technology from The Transformers) was written off following Hasbro’s ill-fated EOne merger and the dissolution of the Hub Network as it was felt no one would want the damn thing.
It’s once again no wonder that when Hasbro went back to formula with the Energon Universe, it has stuck primarily to the only two franchises the company owns that they seem to care about, G.I. Joe and Transformers.
It’s also another example of why everyone looking forward to rumors of an Energon Universe series has been publicly asking a Japanese studio (namely Studio Trigger) to handle the animation.
