Canceled projects

In 2006, it was announced that Fox Atomic was going to make one of their launching movies a remake of the 1984 film Revenge of the Nerds. After two weeks of filming, an executive at Fox Atomic viewed the film's dailies and made the decision to stop production of the film.[3][4] The film's cancellation was also due to potential filming location Emory University refusing to lend its campus to the production.[5]
