Well, Dalton Trumbo met Luis Buñuel in Mexico (1964), and he expressed serious interest in his book "Johnny got his gun". Both he and Bunuel were pleased with the script adaptation, but financing fell through.
Buñuel helped and supported Trumbo, directing what it would have turned out to be his only movie. It was Buñuel's idea to cast Donald Sutherland (as Jesus, in scenes allegedly added by Bunuel)
