Editing Box 13 (section)

== Adaptations ==
At least one attempt to convert the series for television was tried when Ladd appeared in an adaptation of "Daytime Nightmare" (retitled "Committed") on [[CBS]]' ''[[General Electric Theater]]'' (December 5, 1954). Russell Hughes, who was then working at Columbia, reworked the script for the small screen.<ref>{{cite news|title=Alan Ladd to Make First Appearance on TV in 13 Years|author=Ames, Walter|work=Los Angeles Times|date=December 5, 1954|page=E11}}</ref> The show was produced by Jaguar, Ladd's own company.

The TV show did not result in a series. In 1956, Jaguar worked on another attempt to make a series, but Ladd was no longer cast as Holiday.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Ray Bolger, Martin, Lewis in New Shows, Levant Gets Slapped|author=Ames, Walter.|date=May 2, 1956|work=Los Angeles Times|page=B8}}</ref> Ladd's wife Sue Carol was reported as being involved in casting.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Looking at Hollywood: Jeff Richards Will Star in Hank Williams' Story|author=Hopper, Hedda|date=May 18, 1956|work=Chicago Daily Tribune|page=a8}}</ref>

In 1958, Jaguar hired [[Charles Bennett (screenwriter)|Charles Bennett]] to adapt the series into a television series.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Subliminal Test Planned in West: Los Angeles TV Station to Send 'Unseen' Messages – Marquand Play Planned |author=Oscar Godbout|date=January 22, 1958|work=New York Times|page=54}}</ref>

In 1959, Ladd was working on scripts for TV series with [[Aaron Spelling]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=Ladd Working for Kids|author=Joe Hyams.|date=March 22, 1959|work=The Washington Post and Times-Herald|page=G7}}</ref> [[William Leslie (actor)|Bill Leslie]] was to play the lead,<ref>{{cite news|title=TV Appearances to Be Film Actor's Buildup|author=Hopper, Hedda|work=Chicago Tribune|date=February 21, 1959|page=w_a10}}</ref> opposite Ann McRae.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Heflins May Be Headed for Europe|author=Hopper, Hedda|date=February 10, 1959|work=Chicago Daily Tribune|page=a4}}</ref>

Shortly before his death, Ladd announced plans to make a feature film version of the show. He said he would play the lead and the film would have featured 13 cameos from stars that Ladd had worked with in the past. Possible names included [[William Bendix]], [[Veronica Lake]], [[Brian Donlevy]], and [[Macdonald Carey]].<ref>{{Cite news|title=Filmland Events: Alan Ladd Plans Filming of 'Box 13'|date=August 23, 1963|work=Los Angeles Times|page=C8}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|title=Italian Duo Arrive 'Via Madison Ave.': Levine Lures Mastroianni: Moscow, Israel Send Shows|author=Scheuer, Philip K.|date=July 5, 1963|work=Los Angeles Times|page=D11}}</ref>

''Box 13'' was also re-imagined (rather than a straight adaptation or continuation) as a comic book series in 2010, by [[David Gallaher]] and [[Steve Ellis (comics)|Steve Ellis]], and published by [[ComiXology]]. It is published digitally by ComiXology and published in print by [[Red 5 Comics]].
