A Day With Spongebob Movie

A Day with SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie is an unproduced, unauthorized mockumentary that Reagal Films and MVD would distribute. The movie has been postponed, but the director plans to make the film through a crowd funding effort.

Premise
The official website of Reagal Films (via retellings in specific YouTube videos and web archives) gives a premise to the film:

''“In this mockumentary, SpongeBob lives above ground like all Hollywood superstars. Afraid that SpongeBob is becoming old news, his boss runs a contest called "Spend a Day with SpongeBob". The contest makes SpongeBob the talk of the town, as thousands of kids enter to win. The lucky winner is Seth, and he is ecstatic about his day with SpongeBob. However, the day becomes a roller coaster ride as things don’t go quite the way they planned.”''

Production
The film maker (who is pseudonymized "Mr. Orange" for reasons of privacy) wanted to create a family movie that pays tribute to the John Hughes films he watched as he grew up. He wrote a script and approached a variety of filmmakers, including Jonathan Salami, who was involved in several of Reagal's films. Nevertheless, after talks with Salami and many others at Reagal, it was decided that the film was going well beyond the budget that would be given to Mr. Orange.

Mr. Orange also initially refused to make the film out of fear of Nickelodeon and Viacom's legal concerns, but he was told, after a consultation with a lawyer, that he could make the film if it was a parody; it would also help if it were live action and acknowledged that it was absolutely unofficial.

Mr. Orange set out to create the pitch cover for suppliers and manufacturers after speaking with his attorney. He requested Jorge Pacheco, an illustrator, to produce a drawing similar to the famous pineapple house. He also bought a picture of a child that jumped excitedly in the sky.

After the positive reception of his pitch cover, Reagal Films offered to help him by uploading it to Amazon in order to see if there is any demand via pre-orders. During pre-production, the movie was also given a barcode.

The development of the film, however, was still faced with financial problems; the movie thus was born into development hell. On August 3rd, 2016, it was announced that a crowdfunding effort would be launched in September of that year to produce the movie. However, the crowdfunding effort has not yet been made.
