Stephen King's Dolan's Cadillac
April 24, 2008
Christian Slater has signed up to star in an adaptation of Stephen King's 1993 novella Dolan's Cadillac. According to Screen Daily, the Heathers star will play Las Vegas gangster Jimmy Dolan, who has a woman murdered to prevent her testimony in court. Several year's later, the woman's husband hatches an intricate plot involving the mobster's prized Cadillac to avenge his wife's death. His role will be taken by Ghost Rider star Wes Bentley. Emmanuelle Vaugier (Saw IV) rounds out the cast, while Erik Canuel will direct from a script by Richard Dooling's. Shoot is set to start in Canada on May 14. Dolan's Cadillac was previously set up as a star vehicle for Sylvester Stallone and Kevin Bacon, but that adaptation fell apart in 2001.

The movie is a thriller about a man (Wes Bentley), who plots to avenge the murder of his wife (Emmanuelle Vaugier) by notorious and untouchable Las Vegas mob boss Jimmy Dolan (Christian Slater).
Based on one of Stephen King’s most intense short stories, Erik Canuel's Dolan’s Cadillac is a suspense thriller in the vein of The Dead Zone and The Secret Window. Tom Robinson is a peaceful, law-abiding school teacher. When his bride Elizabeth accidentally witnesses a murder, he finds himself on a road straight to hell. The killer is James Dolan, Las Vega's most ruthless and untouchable mob boss. Elizabeth agrees to testify against him and soon we find out just why Dolan has remained untouched. Anyone who dares to go up against him faces deadly consequences. In Elizabeth’s case, it's a bomb strapped to the bottom of a car. Devastated by her death, Robinson tries all the legal channels at his disposal to bring Dolan to justice. But without hard evidence, Dolan remains free, able to run his empire seemingly untouchable. Frustrated and alone, Robinson begins to receive "visits" from his dead wife urging him to seek revenge. Is Elizabeth really reaching beyond the grave, or has he begun his slow decent into insanity? Robinson continues to hear the voices and is driven to construct his own plan -- an elaborate and perilous one-in-a-million shot. Joining a dangerous road construction crew of ex-convicts, he battles the heat and dangers of the Nevada desert working by day, and at night trying to infiltrate Dolan's underworld. Haunted by the ghost of wife, Robinson transforms himself into an obsessed vengeance machine, pushing himself beyond the breaking point of mind, body and spirit. When the two men finally meet deep in the heart of the desert, Dolan's Cadillac climaxes with an amazing test of wills - the ultimate duel in the sun. The Cadillac, which has been Dolan's armor, may likely become his tomb.

Trailer :-
http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/bdt...er.php?id=2994 Based on Stephen King’s eponymous short story, Dolan’s Cadillac is a dark tale of murderous and unrepentant revenge. A modern twist on the Edgar Allan Poe classic ‘The Cask of Amontillado,’ Dolan’s Cadillac proves that revenge really is a dish best served cold. Robinson is a non-descript middle school teacher whose beloved wife, Elizabeth, witnesses an execution in the desert and becomes a target for the executioner, notorious Las Vegas crime boss Jimmy Dolan. Dolan’s vast wealth was accumulated through his human trafficking operation, a lucrative business he will not jeopardize. The mobster succeeds in having Elizabeth killed before she can testify against him. Without a witness to the murders, Dolan goes free. The Knowledge that Dolan is behind Elizabeth’s death fosters in Robinson an insatiable thirst for revenge. However, Dolan is virtually untouchable traveling only in his custom Cadillac with tank-like protection. On a steep descent into madness, Robinson begins seeing visions of his dead wife wherever he goes. Spurred on by Elizabeth’s spectre, Robinson begins his elaborate plan to kill Jimmy Dolan. The Cadillac that was once his armor may now become his tomb. This is vengeance, Stephen King style." Stars Christian Slater, Wes Bentley, Emmanuelle Vaugier and Simon Chin.

No, but they're going to add a bunch of shit to it.
It was an all right story. I've read it a couple of times just to pass the time, but like the other Bachman stories, I don't know if it's movie worthy.
