===''Mr. Machine''===
In 2006, Green sold a project called ''Mr. Machine'' to [[Universal Pictures]] and [[Imagine Entertainment]]. It was reported as being a throwback to the high-concept family comedies of the 1980s.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/david-gordon-green-builds-mr-machine/|title=David Gordon Green Builds Mr Machine|magazine=[[Empire (magazine)|Empire]]|date=July 27, 2006|access-date=November 13, 2024}}</ref> Green co-wrote the script with [[Danny McBride]], who also would have starred. In 2008, McBride told [[CHUD.com]], "It's our take on those old [[Amblin Entertainment|Amblin]] films – it follows around these science fair geeks that construct this robot that gets a life of its own. It's like... I don't know, a ''[[Short Circuit (1986 film)|Short Circuit]]'' [[zombie movie]]."<ref>{{cite web|last=Perez|first=Rodrigo|url=https://theplaylist.net/mr-machine-modern-short-circuit-david-20080617/|title='Mr. Machine': A Modern Short Circuit?
