===''The List of Seven''===
Del Toro was attached to direct an adaptation of [[Mark Frost]]'s 1993 novel ''[[The List of Seven]]''. Frost himself wrote a draft of a screenplay before the project was cancelled.<ref name="Marc Zicree 2013"/> In 2003, del Toro joked that it had become a "tradition" to talk to Frost each year to plan another way of gathering financing for the project. "When we wrote it, [[Steampunk]] had not yet taken hold. Many movies have done stuff like it now, with varying degrees of success," del Toro explained. "But ''List of Seven'' remains as powerful today as it was when we adapted the novel."<ref name="MovieWeb">{{cite web|last=B.|first=Brian|url=https://movieweb.com/guillermo-del-toro-speaks/|title=Guillermo Del Toro speaks!|website=[[MovieWeb]]|date=November 17, 2003|access-date=April 28, 2024}}</ref>
===''Light Years''===
The impetus for del Toro's film ''[[Mimic (film)|Mimic]]'' originally began in the form of an unmade [[anthology film]] titled ''Light Years'', which was to feature four short [[science fiction]] segments, "but with a different bent for each." The other directors were [[Bryan Singer]], [[Danny Boyle]] and [[Gary Fleder]]. According to del Toro, the studio opted to abandon the project and morph his and Fleder's segments into features instead. "I initially said I don't think there is enough there for a feature," del Toro recalled. "I think it is a perfect short, but there's not enough there for two hours." Boyle was the only one able to film his segment, though it has never been shown, whereas Fleder's was later made as ''[[Impostor (2001 film)|Imposter]]]'' in 2001. Del Toro described Singer's as "very abstract, very philosophical".<ref>{{cite web|last=Rosenberg|first=Grant|url=http://gadflyonline.com/04-15-02/ftr-guillermo.html|title=Movies Are Like Religion|website=Gadfly Online|date=April 15, 2002|access-date=January 3, 2024}}</ref>
