What film are you most upset a director never got to make?
It always saddens me when a director dies during pre-production of their film, because when I research about the project and the story they're trying to tell, it often comes across as an epic, expensive, vanity project, career best, magnum opus, other glamorous words, and leaves me quite dissatisfied when nobody at least attempts to finish what they started, leaving us to only think about what could have been.
Sergio Leone's Leningrad: the 900 days and David Lean's Nostromo come to mind.
But if you want to go into films directors tried to make but abandoned, Jodorowsky's Dune is one, or Kubrick's Napoleon considering the Ridley Scott dumpster fire we got.
Just curious what everyone is most upset about.
