by Joel and Ethan Coen, novel by Elmore Leonard
One of the Coens’ few scripts adapted from someone else’s work. The story concerns a kidnapping. Shelved, and probably unavailable to the public.

by James Cameron
James Cameron’s psychological drama is decidedly different from his usual amped-up action movie fare: a smaller story of a criminal with multiple personalities. Due to legal reasons, it’s been shelved. Read the script review at UGO Screenwriter’s Voice.

by Roger Avary
When Quentin Tarantino needed a middle section for Pulp Fiction, he asked friend Roger Avary if he could adapt a portion of the Pandemonium Reigns script. This became the Gold Watch segment in the final film.

Avary.com used to have the script and an essay on how it evolved, but it appears to have been taken down.

by Quentin Tarantino
Oliver Stone turned this one inside out. To this day, Tarantino hasn’t been able to watch the movie all the way through. Me, I like the final product, but I can see how heart-wrenching it could be for the writer.
