===''A Chorus Line''===
In 1978, Nichols spent several months working on the [[A Chorus Line (film)|film adaptation]] of ''[[A Chorus Line]]'' for [[Universal Pictures]] with screenwriter [[Bo Goldman]], but were concerned about how to widen its plot and make it more visual without destroying what made the original stage production so affective. Goldman's finished screenplay did not satisfy Universal head [[Ned Tanen]] and their version was ultimately scrapped after Nichols could not receive a larger projected budget than $16 million, which he deemed "impractical". The project eventually landed at [[Columbia Pictures]], and [[Richard Attenborough]] was selected to direct the film, in 1985.
