The project is being set up at Tom Cruise's production company, Cruise/Wagner Productions. Variety reports that Paramount has purchased the film rights to the children's book "A Treasure's Trove: A Fairy Tale About Real Treasure for Parents and Children of All Ages" by Michael Stadther.

Stadther subsequently published another book with a new treasure hunt, Secrets of the Alchemist Dar. The unique jewels, which were collectively valued at one million dollars, have now all been found, and a book showing the solutions has been published. Inside the book are clues to fourteen tokens that were hidden in parks throughout the United States, which could be redeemed for jewels representing characters from the story. The forest creatures combine forces with Zac (the handsome woodcarver), Ana (his beautiful half-elf, half-human wife), and their timid, chubby, winged "doth" Pook (inspired by the author's dog Misty) to save the creatures and restore the dying forest.

The book is about twelve forest creatures whose mates disappear after being crystallized by a dark dust that falls every evening. In 2005, it was reported that film rights for A Treasure's Trove had been acquired by Cruise/Wagner Productions, however, apart from a reported trailer being in development in the New York Times, there has been no further news. Initially, it was reported that there were twelve jewels, however, it subsequently emerged that there were fourteen prizes. The "real treasure" was found by deciphering clues in the book that led to fourteen tokens that could be turned in for unique jewels, each representing an insect or character from the book, or a cash prize representing one third of the jewel's value.
