When Disney Hollywood Pictures first bought the rights to the novel in 1996, they hired Tom Wheeler, television writer and producer to write a screenplay for the movie. However, his script wasn't considered to be very good so Disney hired another screenwriter Jeffrey Boam, who was most well known for writing scripts for films like Indiana Jones e l'ultima crociata (1989), Ragazzi perduti (1987), Salto nel buio (1987), Arma letale 2 (1989) and Arma letale 3 (1992), but his screenplay was also rejected for same reasons as Wheeler's.When New Line Cinema took over the project in 2005, another script was written by Shane Salerno, writer of both Alien Vs Predator films, and Jan de Bont was involved in it as director and Guillermo del Toro as producer, but ultimately it was canceled once again.
