Gunboy

Gunboy is a cancelled animated film produced by MYCUN Studios for Universal Pictures. It would have been the studio's seventh feature film, a place that was ultimately taken by The Wonderful World of Zak.

Mike Moon was going to direct Gunboy. The film was originally scheduled to be released during the fall of 2010, but was pushed back to 2011, and from there, was replaced with The Wonderful World of Zak in MYCUN Studios' film schedule, with no new release date being announced.

Plot
As described in the Universal press release: "From the Academy Award® winning creators of "MYCUN: The Movie" takes you to the world of their new action film "Gunboy." Directed by Mike Moon ("Legend of MYCUN"), the story follows a fourteenth year old boy named Pulcher who's stuck with an unknown world of horrific mutated monsters. He's had enough. He's got two twin pistols to slaughter hundreds and hundreds of crazed vicious monsters on his way to confronting the king."

Production
At the December 2007 announcement, Universal didn't provide an updated release date for Gunboy. Additionally, the film was removed from Universal's film schedule. An unsigned message received from Steve Burke's (the NBCUniversal CEO) email address stated "The film has been cancelled". This message, along with comments from other industry insiders, led to the speculation that the film had indeed been cancelled. MYCUN Studios founder Geo G. "declined to comment", but a separate source from within the studio stated that:

"We have taken Gunboy off of our development schedule to allow our creative teams to focus on these upcoming projects"

Four years after Gunboy ' s cancellation, however, it was revived in May 2012 as Untitled Twin Pistol Project.

Trivia

 * Pulcher means "beautiful" in Latin.
 * There is a character with guns similar to the main character Pulcher from Gunboy, which is Death the Kid from the anime Soul Eater. The similar character could be a reason why Gunboy was canceled. Geo G. admitted there was a character resemblance of Pulcher and Death the Kid, but did not give any confirmation if it was a reason of cancellation.
 * There is also a reason why Gunboy was cancelled is because Universal's international release of Legend of MYCUN did not go well in India, which caused Universal to lose the distribution rights to MYCUN Studios' future films.
