Tony Scott's unrealised projects

The following is a list of unproduced Tony Scott projects in roughly chronological order. During his long career, English film director Tony Scott had worked on a number of projects which never progressed beyond the pre-production stage under his direction. Some of these productions fell in development hell or were cancelled.[1][2][3][4]

1970s

edit

White Dog

edit

Scott was among the number of film directors attached to direct the film adaptation of White Dog in the 1970s, prior to Samuel Fuller's official involvement.[5]

Alive

edit

In 1979, it was announced that Scott would direct an adaptation of Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors, with Edgar J. Scherick Associates producing. Steven Zaillian was hired to write the script, but rising costs kept Paramount Pictures from moving forward with the film. The project was eventually revived in 1993, directed by Frank Marshall.[6]

1980s

edit

Starman

edit

Scott was among the number of film directors attached to direct Starman (1984) prior to John Carpenter’s official involvement.[7]

The Presidio

edit

In 1987, Scott was selected to direct The Presidio and developed the film with writer Larry Ferguson, before departed from the production the following year. Peter Hyams was hired in his place.[8]

1990s

edit

Reservoir Dogs

edit

According to Quentin Tarantino, Scott had initially asked to direct his script Reservoir Dogs (1992), but had to settle for True Romance (1993) instead after a buyout from producer William Lustig's company.[9]

Tom Mix and Pancho Villa

edit

Scott's involvement with Tom Mix and Pancho Villa goes as far back as June 1993, when The New York Times reported he was to direct the project for TriStar Pictures.[10] In 2002, it was reported that Javier Bardem was to portray Pancho Villa in Scott's film.[11] The project was to have been based on Clifford Irving's novel and in 2003, it was reported that Scott was scouting locations in Mexico and Steven Zaillian was writing the screenplay. "This is Lawrence of Arabia (1962) meets The Wild Bunch (1969), a huge film with trains, cavalry, thousands of soldiers in uniform and on horseback," Scott said.[12]

Money Train

edit

Scott was initially signed to direct the heist film Money Train, and had developed the script with writer Doug Richardson, even going as far as to go "undercover" with a Subway Crime Suppression Unit for research. He wanted to shoot the film entirely in the New York subway systems, but the head of the Transit Authority told them that he must have final script and casting approvable in order for them to gain authorization. Scott ultimately chose not to stay with the film, and, instead, Joseph Ruben was brought on to direct, who, according to Richardson, had him "replaced by a DMV line of writers who slowly dismantled the movie [he'd] so carefully constructed".[13]

Tonight, He Comes

edit

Vy Vincent Ngo's spec script for Hancock (2008), originally titled Tonight, He Comes, was written 1996. The draft, about the relationship between a troubled 12-year-old and a fallen superhero, was first picked up by Scott with an interest in directing. However, the project languished in development hell and would be passed to several other directors, before seeing release in 2008 under Peter Berg.[14]

Gemini Man

edit

In 1997, Scott became attached to direct Darren Lemke's script of Gemini Man for Walt Disney Pictures.[15][16] Complications soon arose when the studio were planning how to make the film. Harrison Ford and Chris O'Donnell were considered for the lead roles.[17] The producers toyed with the idea of an actor play both roles through the use of visual effects, but Scott moved on before any progress could be made.[15] The resulting 2019 film starred Will Smith in a dual role and was directed by Ang Lee.

Josiah's Canon

edit

In November 1998, Scott was in negotiations to direct Fox 2000's action-thriller Josiah's Canon for producer Adam Fields. The spec script, first written by Jeff King, follows a Holocaust survivor who leads a team of bank robbers on a heist of a Swiss bank. At the time of Scott's involvement, Phil Alden Robinson wrote a new draft of the screenplay.[18]

The Tailor of Panama

edit

Scott was the original director signed on for John le Carré's The Tailor of Panama for Columbia Pictures, which he was attached to film in 1998. The adaptation was eventually completed by John Boorman and released in 2002.[18]

Kill Shot

edit

Also in 1998, the feature adaptation of Elmore Leonard's thriller novel Killshot was being developed by Miramax Films and producer Lawrence Bender for Scott to direct and for Robert De Niro and Quentin Tarantino to possibly star.[18]

Take Down

edit

In June 1999, it was reported that Scott was developing a film project titled Take Down with Jerry Bruckheimer producing and Henry Bean serving as screenwriter.[19]

Lucky Strike

edit

Scott's involvement with Lucky Strike goes as far back as October 1999, when Variety reported it as a project in development with Bruckheimer.[20] In February 2012, it was reported that Scott was to direct the film and that Vince Vaughn was cast as the lead.[21][22][23][24] The film, budgeted to have been $80 million, was to have been produced by Emmett/Furla Films and distributed by 20th Century Fox.[25][26] The screenplay was written by Henry Bean.[27]

2000s

edit

Spider-Man

edit

Scott was in the running to direct Spider-Man (2002), the first film adaptation based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, alongside Tim Burton, M. Night Shyamalan, Chris Columbus and Roland Emmerich before Sam Raimi was hired.[28]

Untitled Cuba project

edit

In November 2000, it was reported that Scott was to direct Caspian Tredwell-Owen's pitch of an untitled project set in post-Castro Cuba. According to Variety, the film was to have been "a high-stakes thriller in which organizations converge to exploit the new democracy."[29]

Potsdamer Platz

edit

It was announced in December 2000 that Scott would direct and produce a film project titled Potsdamer Platz, based on Buddy Giovinazzo's 2004 novel of the same title, which at the time was a manuscript.[30] Javier Bardem, Jason Statham and Mickey Rourke were all reportedly attached to star in the film.[31] Christopher Walken was also attached to appear in the film.[32] Scott also reportedly attempted to cast Gene Hackman in the project.[33][34] Al Pacino was also approached for a role in the project.[35]

It was later announced in November 2010 that the project would no longer be titled Potsdamer Platz.[36]

Taking Lives

edit

In April 2001, it was reported that Jennifer Lopez would star in the action film Taking Lives (2004), with Scott directing for Warner Bros. The film was ultimately directed by D. J. Caruso, with Angelina Jolie starring, despite Scott being involved in the project for years beforehand.[37] [38]

Grand Theft Auto

edit

According to Kirk Ewing, a friend of Sam and Dan Houser who worked with Rockstar Games on State of Emergency, the Houser brothers were offered $5 million to make a film based on their Grand Theft Auto video games in late 2001 around the release of Grand Theft Auto III, with Scott meant to direct and rapper Eminem meant to star. However, Sam told a Los Angeles producer who requested the film rights to make the film with Scott and Eminem that he wasn't interested.[39]

American Caesar

edit

In July 2002, Scott announced that he intended to follow up directing Man on Fire (2004) with a film called American Caesar at Universal, from a script by William Nicholson.[40]

The Warriors remake

edit

In September 2002, it was announced that Scott was to direct a remake of the 1979 film The Warriors for Paramount Pictures and MTV Films.[1] In late 2006, Scott announced that his version would be set in Los Angeles. "The original Warriors was New York in the 1970s, and everything went upwards, everything went vertically. And now I'm making it a contemporary thing and doing it in L.A., so everything is horizontal. So my vision of The Warriors is Los Angeles in 2007 and the gangs, instead of being 30, are going to be 3,000 or 5,000," he said. Scott met with actual gang members for research: "I've met all the heads of all the different gangs, so I've already educated myself. They all said, 'Listen dude, if you get this on we'll sign a treaty and we'll all stand on the Long Beach Bridge. There'll be 150,000 members there. It'll look like the L.A. Marathon.[41][42][43][44]

Emma's War

edit

In June 2003, it was reported that Scott was attached to direct a film adaptation of Deborah Scroggins's book Emma's War: An Aid Worker, a Warlord, Radical Islam, and the Politics of Oil — A True Story of Love and Death in Sudan for 20th Century Fox, with Nicole Kidman to have starred as Emma McCune.[45][46] In April 2005, McCune's brother, Johnny, told Kidman to abandon the project due to inaccuracies in Scroggins's novel.[47] Scott said in October 2006, "It's been a difficult piece to crack. We had one writer aboard who did a pass at the script and didn't get it, but we've got someone else onboard now who I'm going to make live down there and smell it, touch it, feel it. There's nothing that can compare to that kind of first-hand experience."[48]

Quantum of Solace

In 2007, Scott was briefly rumored to be in the running to direct Quantum of Solace.[49]

In 2014, it was announced that Rob Weiss would take over the project and that Scott would be credited as a producer posthumously.[60][61] Frank said of the project in 2014: "The version that we were going to do died with Tony."[62]
