Many had tried to produce a Howard Hughes biopic before this. Among the failed attempts are: 1. A companion piece to Reds (1981) planned by actor and director Warren Beatty. 2. John Malkovich and partner Russell Smith attempted in 1993. 3. The adaptation planned by Allen Hughes and Albert Hughes, who wanted Johnny Depp in the lead. 4. A Brian De Palma-directed biopic with Touchstone Pictures, which fell through because of the $80 million price tag. 5. In January 2000, it was announced that Milos Forman was to direct a biopic with Edward Norton as Hughes, and a script by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. 6. In January 2002, Jim Carrey and director Christopher Nolan tried to start the project with Castle Rock Entertainment, but it didn't get off the ground soon enough to beat this movie into production.
