unproduced
Still a script
Unproduced describes something that was never made or brought into existence.
A screenplay that remains unproduced never became a film: The writer had dozens of unproduced scripts.
The term appears most often in entertainment contexts—unproduced plays, pilots, or albums that stayed on the page or in demo form.
