Adaptation Tracker
Hollywood keeps canceling them.
You decide what gets made.
ACOTAR is dead at Hulu. The Wheel of Time was cut off mid-story at Amazon. Studios shelve the stories fans care about most — then wonder why nobody trusts them with the next one. Dream lets Dreamers fund and vote adaptations into existence, no studio greenlight required.
Most-wanted — no adaptation yet
Books with massive built-in fandoms that Hollywood still hasn't touched.
The Name of the Wind
Patrick Rothfuss
Lionsgate optioned it a decade ago. Nothing has surfaced since. Fans have stopped waiting on Hollywood.
Signal this bookMistborn
Brandon Sanderson
A film/series deal was announced in 2023 with no greenlight since. One of the most-requested fantasy IPs with zero footage to show for it.
Signal this bookFourth Wing
Rebecca Yarros
Amazon MGM optioned it in 2023. BookTok's biggest phenomenon in years, still without a script in production.
Signal this bookSix of Crows
Leigh Bardugo
Left out of the Shadow and Bone Netflix cancellation entirely — never got its own show despite being the fan-favorite duology.
Signal this bookThe Poppy War
R.F. Kuang
No studio attachment despite years of demand. A grimdark epic with a built-in audience and nobody making it.
Signal this bookCanceled & in dev hell
Adaptations that got a shot and lost it — or never got past the announcement stage.
A Court of Thorns and Roses
Sarah J. Maas
Hulu's series was canceled before a single frame was shot. The fandom is now actively searching for who will finally make it.
Signal this bookThe Wheel of Time
Robert Jordan
Amazon pulled the plug after season 3, mid-story, with the arc unfinished. One of the largest fantasy fandoms left without an ending.
Signal this bookThe Name of the Wind
Patrick Rothfuss
Announced, optioned, restarted, and shelved more than once. A decade of false starts with no production date in sight.
Signal this bookThe Stormlight Archive
Brandon Sanderson
A TV deal was floated years ago and has gone quiet since. The single most-requested epic fantasy series with no adaptation to point to.
Signal this bookLive on Dream
No waiting on a studio. These are already being funded, voted on, and made.
At the Mountains of Madness
An Antarctic expedition uncovers a city older than humanity and the record of what built it. The most famous unmade film in horror, open to anyone who wants to make it.
View project →The King in Yellow
A banned play destroys everyone who finishes the second act. Four strangers in four cities read it anyway. The weird-fiction classic True Detective borrowed from and nobody has filmed whole.
View project →The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Dickens died with the murder unsolved. Half a novel, a hundred and fifty years of theories, no ending. Fund the version you believe in and vote on which ending gets made.
