In 2000, Wes Craven (known for Nightmare on Elm Street) was originally tied on to direct a film based off of the game. However, he wasn't fully attached to the project. The project was then given to Jon and Erich Hoeber. After multiple changes in production companies trying to make the film (Dimension Films being the first, 20th century Fox being the second, and Universal being the third and last) the film was later put on hold in 2008.

In 2013, after getting the funding for Alice: Otherlands, American Mcgee stated that the film could possibly be kickstarted. Although, it was later revealed in 2015 that the development of the film had gone on hiatus.
