The Uncle Ruckus Movie

The Uncle Ruckus Movie is a cancelled live-action comedy film in 2013 based on the titular character from Adult Swim's animated sitcom The Boondocks created by Aaron McGruder.

McGruder expressed interest in a live-action movie adaptation of The Boondocks but refused to allow real life children be cast as Huey and Riley since those two characters are violent and always angry although he did consider casting Jaden Smith as both Huey and Riley.

Therefore, he settled on a movie that solely centers upon Uncle Ruckus. He started a Kickstarter campaign to fund the movie asking for $200,000, in spite of the fact that McGruder is a millionaire who made his fortune off The Boondocks cartoon.

Plot
The film revolves around the angry bigot Uncle Ruckus working to promote white supremacy in the United States.

Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) Budget issues - the Kickstarter fundraiser for the film failed to meet its goal of $200,000. Although in reality, most movies that intend to be funded through fundraisers usually fail because the traditional method of a movie making money is to get studio funding (or occasionally government funding) and then recoup its budget by making money at the box office.
 * 2) Fans of The Boondocks weren't very eager about the movie because Huey and Riley were written out of it. Even so, many fans thought they had to choose between either a Season 4 for The Boondocks or a live-action movie about Uncle Ruckus, and those fans wanted the former. This was actually not the case, because Season 4 would have still happened even if the Uncle Ruckus movie were made.

Results

 * 1) The Boondocks earned a Season 4 one year after the fundraiser for the Uncle Ruckus film ended, but without the involvement of Aaron McGruder because McGruder couldn't reach an agreement with Adult Swim over the production schedule.
 * 2) Aaron McGruder (without choice) abandoned the project and instead worked on new TV series such as the already released Black Jesus and the upcoming Black America.

Cast

 * Gary Anthony Williams as Uncle Ruckus
