* DevelopmentHell: This movie has been percolating for quite a while - since the late 1990's, in fact. Creator/QuentinTarantino's name was tossed about as a director in the early going, but that never really came to anything.
* SavedFromDevelopmentHell:
** Producer John Davis optioned the film rights to the series in 1993, setting up a development deal for an adaptation with Creator/WarnerBros and series producer Norman Felton. Davis has estimated that he commissioned twelve or fourteen different scripts over the course of twenty years, with writers Jim and John Thomas, John Requa, Glenn Ficarra, and Scott Z. Burns. Creator/QuentinTarantino was briefly attached following the success of ''Film/PulpFiction'', but opted to make ''Film/JackieBrown'' instead.
** After Creator/MatthewVaughn and David Dobkin expressed interest, Creator/StevenSoderbergh was attached to direct Scott Z. Burns' screenplay, with Creator/GeorgeClooney playing Napoleon Solo and Creator/EmilyBlunt playing the female lead and production slated to begin in March 2012. The studio wanted the budget to stay below $60 million, but Soderbergh felt that amount would not be adequate to fund the 1960s-era sets, props, and international settings required for the film. Clooney dropped out due a back injury. At one point, Creator/JohnnyDepp expressed an interest when production on ''Film/TheLoneRanger2013'' was suspended. Soderbergh departed the film in 2011.
