Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back ⇒ 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (unmade Fincher project) (the maker said so: in interviews).
In interviews Fincher says he wanted 20,000 Leagues to be his Empire Strikes Back, a dark film that still works for children.

John Carter → 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (unmade Fincher project).
While Fincher failed to launch 20,000 Leagues, Disney bought Marvel and Star Wars and stopped needing original tentpoles like John Carter.
“Marvel and Star Wars get acquired and they're like, we never need to make a John Carter ever again.”
