Line 270:
* Directors have been offering to make a film adaptation of ''[[The Catcher in The Rye]]'' since its release. When author J.D. Salinger was asked permission, he said no.
* ''The Minds of Billy Milligan'', the story of a (actual) man with multiple personalities, was adapted into a screenplay called ''The Crowded Room'' by Todd Graff in something like the late 1970s. Dozens of actors, producers and directors including James Cameron (who wrote a second screenplay) and Steven Soderburgh have signed onto the project and quit.
* The remake of ''[[Barbarella]]'' has been stuck here for a while. Back in 2008, Universal was gearing it up with Robert Rodriguez as the director. Rose [[Mc Gowan]]McGowan was to take the role of Barbarella, but Universal freaked out over the high budget and they didn't think [[Mc Gowan]]McGowan was right for the role. Rodriguez was not willing to make any changes, so he shopped the remake to other studios. Further problems came when his backers wanted Barbarella to be aimed for the German audience. Rodriguez didn't like that plan, so he finally gave up in May of 2009. Recently, it was announced that Robert Luketic was to take over the director's chair, but production didn't really get off the ground. Now that the film's proposed producer, Dino De Laurentiis, has died, the remake now seems really unlikely.
** Though now there are currently rumors that [[Anne Hathaway]] is attached to the remake.
* There is little news of the American adaptation of ''[[Death Note]]'' which was said to be released in 2011 (with a rumor around that the protagonist would be played by [[Zac Efron]]). A director had just been announced, so it might be a year or two before production starts.
