Title: The Rose (film)
Content:  The film was originally offered to Ken Russell, who chose instead to direct Valentino. Russell has described this decision as the biggest mistake of his career. At one point, Michael Cimino was also slated to direct, but he chose to direct Heaven's Gate instead. Cimino did, however, make uncredited contributions to the script.
Title: Women in Love (film)
Content:  Narizzano, intended as director, left the project after suffering a series of personal setbacks. He divorced his wife for a man who died soon after. After Narizzano's departure, Kramer considered a number of directors to take on the project, including Jack Clayton, Stanley Kubrick and Peter Brook, all of whom declined. Ken Russell had previously directed only two films and was better known then for his biographical projects about artists for the BBC. His second film, Billion Dollar Brain was admired by Chasman and Picker at UA, who told him "they thought it got a raw deal from right wing critics and that I could do better with a more sympathetic subject." Chasman and Picker sent a copy of Kramer's script to Russell, who liked it. The director read the 
Title: I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang
Content:  story editor's reasons were mostly related to the story's violence and the uproar that was sure to explode in the Deep South. In the end, Warner and Zanuck had the final say and approved the project. Roy Del Ruth, the highest-paid director at Warner Bros., was assigned to direct, but he refused the assignment. In a lengthy memo to supervising producer Hal B. Wallis, Del Ruth explained his decision: "This subject is terribly heavy and morbid...there is not one moment of relief anywhere." Del Ruth further argued that the story "lacks box-office appeal," and that offering a depressing story to the public seemed ill-timed, given the harsh reality of the Great Depression outside the walls of the local neighborhood cinema.

Title: The Dilemma
Content:  The Dilemma is directed by Ron Howard and written by Allan Loeb. The film was Howard's first comedy film since he directed How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 2000. The film was first announced in January 2010 as an untitled project when actor Vince Vaughn signed on for a starring role. The premise was conceived by producer Brian Grazer, Howard's production partner at Imagine Entertainment; Loeb wrote the script. Actor Kevin James was cast alongside Vaughn in February. The film continues "Vaughn's interest in tackling the dark areas of relationships", following The Break-Up (2006) and Couples Retreat (2009). The darker moments of the latter film were omitted from the final edit. With a budget of $70 million, filming took place entirely in Chicago, Illinois, from late May 2010 to mid-August 2010. The film, which was called Cheaters and What You Don't Know during production, was ultimately titled The Dilemma by Universal.
Title: Hot Pursuit (1987 film)
Content:  Pierre David developed the project with Steve Lisberger. David brought it to Tom Mankiewicz, who helped produce. RKO Pictures were willing to back the film but they only wanted to pay $2.8 million and filmmakers could not get the budget lower than $4 million. Mankiewicz managed to secure the additional funding from Ned Tanen at Paramount Pictures in exchange for cable rights. Anthony Michael Hall was considered for the lead before the filmmakers decided to go with John Cusack.
Title: The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt
Content:  A planned film adaptation by director Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio was scheduled to be released in 2013. However, that project was abandoned.
Title: New Rose Hotel (film)
Content:  Edward R. Pressman had owned the film rights to New Rose Hotel since the late 1980s. Before Ferrara got involved, Kathryn Bigelow was originally set to direct. At one point, Zoë Tamerlis Lund was attached to writing the screenplay. In 1996, Lund wrote the first draft of the script. According to Ferrara, both Virginie Ledoyen and Chloë Sevigny were considered for the role of Sandii. Ferrara also claims that Arnold Schwarzenegger was considered for the role of Fox. Asia Argento made a documentary about Ferrara, titled Abel/Asia (1998), during the making of the film. Ferrara said he fired a lot of the crew members of the film; some of them were longtime collaborators of Ferrara's, such as film composer Joe Delia.
Title: Heat (1986 film)
Content:  In February 1986 it was announced Robert Altman was to direct. This was considered a surprising choice; although Altman had previously made The Long Goodbye with producer Elliot Kastner the two men had a major falling out when Altman was going to direct 92 in the Shade. However Carol Burnett encouraged Altman to work with Burt Reynolds and the director liked the star, so he accepted. According to Altman's biographer, Patrick McGilligan, the director "detested the commerciality of William Goldman's script". Altman flew to New York, met with Goldman and surprised himself by getting along with him, but the writer did not want to change the script. Altman flew to Las Vegas and used a technicality to get out of making the movie - his desired cinematographer, Pierre Mignot, could not obtain the necessary permits to work on the film so Altman withdrew. He left the film shortly afterwards. He was replaced by Dick Richards, with whom Kastner had made Farewell, My Lovely.
Title: For Love of the Game (film)
Content:  Sydney Pollack was originally slated as the director, with Tom Cruise cast in the part of Billy Chapel. Armyan Bernstein, chief of Beacon Pictures, got Kevin Costner interested in the film. The studio wanted to keep the film's budget to $50 million, so Costner helped out by waiving his usual $20 million salary in exchange for a bigger percentage of the film's gross; Costner was also given the generous rights of final cut privilege (normally only given to the producer or director, if anyone) and director approval. Director Sam Raimi, who had previously only done low-budget films, later explained why he 
Title: Heat (1995 film)
Content:  In April 1994, Mann was reported to have abandoned his earlier plan to shoot a biopic of James Dean in favor of directing Heat, producing it with Art Linson. The film was marketed as the first on-screen appearance of Al Pacino and Robert De Niro together in the same scene – both actors had previously starred in The Godfather Part II, but owing to the nature of their roles, they were never seen in the same scene. Pacino and De Niro were Mann's first choices for the roles of Hanna and McCauley, respectively, and they both immediately agreed to act. Initially, Keanu Reeves was offered the role of Chris Shiherlis, which he turned down in favor of playing Hamlet at the Manitoba Theatre Centre. As a result, Val Kilmer was given the role. Mann assigned Janice Polley, a former collaborator on The Last of the Mohicans, as the
