We told you a while back that Eli Roth had been tapped to bring the Stephen King novel CELL to the big screen. Things have been quiet for a while with Roth over in Prague seeing what he can come up with for HOSTEL 2 but those news hounds over at AICN have been on the set across the pond and found out that some movement has occured on the project. Read on for their report:
Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski will be adapting Stephen King's CELL.
They recently rewrote Matt Greenberg's script for the Stephen King adaptation 1408, starring John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. Word around the campfire is that script is absolutely fantastic. They also wrote the brilliant script for THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT and MAN ON THE MOON... let's forget they wrote AGENT CODY BANKS and focus on their successes! I mean, they wrote ED WOOD for god's sake!
Can't wait to see what they do with this book. I hope they make it their own, but still honor the original material. It hasn't been alive long enough to become a Stephen King classic, but like I said above, I think it's one of this most fun and entertaining books in a long while.
So, there ya have it. This one is a while away yet but keep it here for all the latest.
