In 2011, Medavoy announced his newest project, surrounding the 2010 Chilean mining accident that left 33 men trapped underground for 69 days. He collaborated with Chilean officials and Academy Award-nominated screenwriter José Rivera to create an authentic retelling of this story that, as Medavoy explains, "at its heart, [is] about the triumph of the human spirit and a testament to the courage and perseverance of the Chilean people". Also in 2011, Medavoy announced his collaboration with The Shanghai Film Group to create both a feature film and six-hour miniseries. The feature, an adaptation of the novel "The Cursed Piano", is a love story set in Japanese-occupied China concerning persecuted Jews seeking refuge from occupied Europe. The mini-series, "Tears of a Sparrow", was to focus in greater detail on the experience of these Jews in Shanghai. Medavoy also worked on "Dandelion Wine", adapted from the novel of the same name by Ray Bradbury. In 2015, it was announced that he and Eric Esrailian were producing "The Promise", starring Oscar Isaac and Christian Bale.
