Sci-Fi Wire reports that another Stephen King novel is set for production this month in Vancouver, B.C.
“Jonathan Jackson, David Arquette, Barbara Hershey and Erika Christensen will head the cast of Riding the Bullet, the film adaptation of Stephen King’s supernatural e-book of the same name, Variety reported. Brad Krevoy’s Motion Picture Corp. of America is producing the movie, to be helmed by writer-director Mick Garris (The Stand).
The story takes place on Halloween in 1969, when college student Alan Parker (Jackson), distraught over a breakup with his girlfriend (Christensen), fails a suicide attempt and is then picked up by a mysterious driver (Arquette) while hitchhiking through rural Maine to visit his ailing mother (Hershey).”
