After winning an Oscar for Pulp Fiction, he was originally attached to direct an adaptation of Neil Gaiman's comic book The Sandman, which merged the "Preludes and Nocturnes" storyline with that of "The Doll's House". Avary was fired after disagreements over the creative direction with executive producer Jon Peters. It was due to their meeting on the Sandman film project that Avary and Gaiman collaborated on the script for Beowulf.

This dudes entire career was being sidelined by Hollywood execs that wanted gay woke shit.
