Stars Sign On To Ride King's "Bullet"
|
Jonathan Jackson, David Arquette, Barbara Hershey and Erika Christensen are confirmed to star in "Riding The Bullet", a screen adaptation of Stephen King's horror ebook. Mick Garris, who directed the TV versions of "The Stand" (1994) and "The Shining" (1997), will take the reins in the new movie.
The movie takes place on Halloween in 1969, following 21-year-old New England college student Alan Parker (Jackson). Distraught that his girlfriend (Christensen) has broken up with him, he attempts suicide but fails. He then learns that his beloved mother (Hershey) has had a stroke. Hitchhiking through rural Maine to visit her bedside, the young man is picked up by a mysterious driver (Arquette) who carries his own haunting secrets.
Production starts later this month in Vancouver.

| [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Arioch [/i] [B]Hey come on now, not EVERY one. Just almost all of them lol. Remember Carrie, Cujo, Pet Semetary, Christine, The Shining (whichever version), Stand By Me, Shawshank Redemption, Lawnmower Man (this one was alright) and MISERY absolutely owned. Almost scene for scene the exact book. Some good flicks have come out of his books but granted, most of them are pretty awful, especially the miniseries ones. [/B][/QUOTE] Agree with you except for The Lawnmower Man. I hate that movie. Have you ever read the 2 page short story? Completely nothing like the movie. Also found Cujo to be dull as a butter knife. But the rest are classics. | |
