How much is many?
One possible example is Lem Dobb's Kafka which was written in the 70's and filmed by Stephen Soderberg in the 1990's

And the Illusionist is based on an old Jaques Tati Screenplay

Subject: question about unfilmed screenplays
Hi everybody,
I was wondering if anyone knows any good examples of forgotten screenplays re-discovered and made into a film or stage play many years later. I am looking into a contemporary theatre performance with a compilation of Bergmans unfilmed screenplays and I am looking for examples to compare with. There is clearly an archival approach in this project, the texts are interesting to the stage director because they represent the forgotten or the hidden side of an otherwise well known authorship. If anyone knows good examples to compare with so let me know.
All the best, Anna Sofia Rossholm
