Exclusive: Matt Dinniman, the author of bestseller Dungeon Crawler Carl, has signed with WME in a competitive situation.
Dinniman’s Dungeon Crawler Carl holds the No. 1 spot in the top 100 paid audiobooks for TV on Amazon. The series has sold over 400,000 copies across print, audio and eBook. WME will work to develop it into an adaptation for the screen.
Dungeon Crawler Carl involves a man and his ex-girlfriend’s cat with a sadistic game show unlike anything in the universe: a dungeon crawl where survival depends on killing your prey in the most entertaining way possible. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth — from Buckingham Palace to the tiniest of sheds — collapses in a heap, sinking into the ground. The buildings and all the people inside have all been atomized and transformed into the dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters and loot. A dungeon so enormous, it circles the entire globe.
