The following is a list of unproduced David Gordon Green projects in roughly chronological order. During his long career, American film director David Gordon Green has worked on a number of projects which never progressed beyond the pre-production stage under his direction.

2000s

A Confederacy of Dunces

In November 2002, it was announced that Green was to helm a film adaptation of John Kennedy Toole's A Confederacy of Dunces for Miramax Films, which bought the film rights to the novel from Paramount Pictures on June that same year.[1] Will Ferrell was to have portrayed Ignatius J. Reilly and Lily Tomlin, Drew Barrymore, Mos Def and Olympia Dukakis were to have co-starred.[2][3] The script was written by Steven Soderbergh and Scott Kramer.[4] It was reported in 2003 that Barrymore's production company Flower Films was to co-produce the film with Warner Bros.[5] Principal photography was planned to occur in New Orleans in 2004.[4] The film never came to fruition.[6][7] It has been said that Hurricane Katrina played a factor in the film's cancellation.[8]
