The Upside Down Movie (lost script for unproduced TV film based on children's TV series; 2010)

The show's title card.

Status: Lost

The Upside Down Show was a live-action series produced by Blink Films and Sesame Workshop. It starred the Australian comedy duo known as "The Umbilical Brothers", Shane Dundas and David Collins. Made for the Noggin channel, the show was created to appeal to both children and their parents with its surrealist humor.

The show was short-lived, with only one season of 13 episodes. Although Noggin was not interested in renewing the series for a second season, a finale TV movie, known as The Upside Down Movie, was planned. It would have served as a complete closure to the series.

The movie was first announced in an article by the newspaper The Australian in August 2008. In November 2008, David Collins announced in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald that the movie was planned to start filming in 2009.

Production

After the show wasn't picked up for a second season, The Umbilical Brothers began working on the finale movie in 2008. They announced the script had began development on their Facebook page.

Although Nickelodeon had provided the funding for writing the script, they still needed more funding to begin filming. Despite efforts to start petitions, this never ended up happening.

Availability

After over a decade, the movie still hasn't been made, although the duo has been reported to still be interested in making it as late as 2017. It doesn't seem like this will happen, however, and as of now the finished script still remains in the dark.
