Miramax's Dimension Films has cut a deal to turn Stephen King's short story "1408" into a full-length feature movie. Screenwriter Matt Greenberg ("Halloween 9", "The Prophecy 2") has been chosen to turn the story into a screenplay. The director for the project hasn't been announced.

The short story is about a horror writer who gets a taste of his own frightening medicine during a stay at a hotel in room 1408. It originally appeared in King's audiobook "Blood and Smoke", but was later included in the print collection "Everything's Eventual".
