Poll: Movies Made by Alternate Directors - Part 1

A poll by The-Social-Introvert
Scripts are passed around frequently in Hollywood. There are often many movie makers who become attached to a project before the script ends up in the lap of the eventual director of the movie.

Below are movies that were close to being made by different directors. Some were fired during production, others couldn’t get the ball rolling, a few lost interest, and in one case the director died before he could make the movie.

Which of the following movies made by alternate directors would you have been most interested in seeing?
