The following is a '''list of unproduced Tony Scott projects''' in roughly chronological order. During his long career, English film director [[Tony Scott]] had worked on a number of projects which never progressed beyond the pre-production stage under his direction. Some of these productions fell in [[development hell]] or were cancelled.<ref name=dave/><ref name=fritz>{{cite news|last1=Fritz|first1=Ben|last2=Zeitchik|first2=Steven|title=Movies that Tony Scott left behind|date=21 August 2012|newspaper=Los Angeles Times|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-xpm-2012-aug-21-la-et-mn-scott-projects-20120821-story.html|accessdate=24 October 2023}}</ref><ref name=junior>{{cite web|last=Fleming|first=Mike Jr.|title=Tony Scott Left Behind Some Fine Projects|date=20 August 2012|website=Deadline Hollywood|url=https://deadline.com/2012/08/tony-scott-left-behind-some-fine-projects-321687/|accessdate=24 October 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Douglas|first=Edward|title=In the Future with Director Tony Scott|date=11 June 2009|website=Comingsoon.net|url=https://www.comingsoon.net/movies/features/56223-in-the-future-with-director-tony-scott|accessdate=24 October 2023}}</ref>

In July 2020, screenwriter [[Peter Briggs (screenwriter)|Peter Briggs]] revealed he was one of several screenwriters enlisted by [[Edward R. Pressman]] for an adaptation adaptation of the [[2000 AD (comics)|''2000 AD'' comics]] series ''[[Judge Dredd]]'' that was to be directed by Tony Scott and star [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]]. With producers wanting "competing drafts," Briggs' own draft had to do with Dredd going up against arch enemy [[List of Judge Dredd characters
[[Judge Death]], while [[Jonathan Gems]] pitched a film where [[Mega-City One]] is a post apocalyptic city filled with mutants and an unspecified draft from [[William Wisher Jr.]] Briggs also said producers were interest in having the film be based on The Return Of Rico, in where Judge Dredd's brother [[Rico Dredd|Rico]] escapes from prison and seeks out revenge against Judge Dredd. Briggs would eventually leave the project, as would Schwarzenegger and Scott later on.<ref>{{cite web|last=Jenkins|first=Jason|title=Writer Peter Briggs Remembers the Arnold Schwarzenegger ‘Judge Dredd’ Horror Movie That Never Was [Phantom Limbs]|date=14 July 2020|website=Bloody Disgusting|url=https://bloody-disgusting.com/editorials/3623437/writer-peter-briggs-remembers-arnold-schwarzenegger-judge-dredd-horror-movie-never-phantom-limbs/|accessdate=16 February 2025}}</ref>.

It was reported in June 2009 that Scott was to have done a sequel to his 1983 film ''[[The Hunger (1983 film)|The Hunger]]''.<ref>{{cite web|author=Mirko|title=Tony Scott on The Hunger Sequel|date=11 June 2009|website=Comingsoon.net|url=https://www.comingsoon.net/horror/news/713817-tony-scott-on-the-hunger-sequel|accessdate=26 October 2023}}</ref> In November 2011, Scott said the film was "not necessarily a remake or a reinvention" and that he was "in development with a writer from [[City of God (2002 film)|City Of God]]" with plans to film it in Brazil. Scott described as "City of God meets The Hunger. And it’s going to be all about the nightlife where the feeding is easy and people go missing undetected." <ref>{{cite web|last=Staskiewicz|first=Kieth|title='Unstoppable' director Tony Scott talks speeding trains, planes and automobiles|date=11 November 2011|website=Entertainment Weekly|url=https://ew.com/article/2010/11/11/unstoppable-director-tony-scott/|accessdate=16 February 2025}}</ref>
