I found a real life story I absolutely love and want to write, but according to IMDb Pro there is one film and one TV series in development based on the same IP. Both have named attachments, but trade announcements are five (film) and almost 10 (series) years old, with no news since.
Should I say "Screw it" and move on, or try to succeed where others have failed? My instinct would be the former, yet someone got traction with a film version years after the series apparently fizzled, so maybe I'm wrong.
What does the wisdom of DD recommend? And what are ways I might signal something is a fresh take on a "known" IP other than playing w/format?
Thanks!
