The list of projects that David Lynch has at one time flirted with or considered is quite long, as this rundown at the fansite The City Of Absurdity makes clear, (it hasn’t been updated in over a decade so there’s much missing too). And at one time, the director looked at bringing Franz Kafka‘s masterpiece “Metamorphosis” to the big screen.

Whatever Gregor becomes, it’s something pitiful and helpless; he can no longer work, and gradually, he’s shunned by his own family.
