* SelfAdaptation: Creator/TomStoppard wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of his play ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead'', and ended up directing it as well. Rather than seeking to keep everything the same, he had no hesitation about making substantial changes, adding new bits to take advantage of the new medium and cutting out bits that no longer worked.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/JohnBoorman planned an adaptation in 1968 with Irvin Winkler producing for Creator/{{M|etroGoldwynMayer}}GM, who bought the rights for $200,000. He planned for Creator/MichaelCaine and Creator/TerenceStamp to play the leads, Creator/LaurenceOlivier as the Player King, Creator/AlbertFinney as Claudius, and Creator/MaggieSmith as Gertrude. Creator/DonaldSutherland and Creator/ElliottGould also wanted to star but Creator/{{MGM}} never greenlit the movie.
** Creator/SeanConnery was originally cast as the Player King, but he abandoned the film for a bigger paycheck in ''Film/TheHuntForRedOctober''. Creator/RobertLindsay would have played Rosencrantz.
** At one stage, ''Music/{{Sting}}'' was going to play Hamlet.
