The following is a '''list of unproduced [[Mike Nichols]] projects''' in roughly chronological order. During his long career, American filmmaker [[Mike Nichols]] has worked on several projects which never progressed beyond the pre-production stage under his direction. Some of these projects fell in development hell, were officially canceled, were in development limbo or would see life under a different production team.

==1960s==

===''The Public Eye''===

In January 1964, Nichols was announced to make his feature film debut as director with a film adaptation of [[Peter Shaffer]]'s play ''The Public Eye'', after the rights were bought by producer [[Ross Hunter]].<ref>{{cite news|title=PEOPLE AND PICTURES: Ross Hunter's 'Public Eye' -- Modern And Period Heroines -- Tots' Tale|author=Weiler, A.
