From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of unproduced Oliver Stone projects in roughly chronological order. During his long career, American film director Oliver Stone has worked on several projects which never progressed beyond the pre-production stage under his direction. Some of these projects fell into development hell, were officially cancelled or would see life under a different production team.[1]

1970s
