It's interesting to see that Cronenberg wrote the first nine films he directed – The Dead Zone was the first based on someone else's material. Since eXistenZ (1999), he's written two of the eight films he's directed.
I'm not sure why Wikipedia says wrote Naked Lunch; it's based on a novel by William S. Burrows, someone who, with Kafka, is a major influence on Cronenberg's creative output.
