Cell
What begins as a major problem only gets worse when the affected humans
begin to 'flock' and communicate in a way that can only be described as
telepathy.
Just because you don't own a cell phone does not mean you are in the clear.
The 'flock' has figured out how to influence unaffected humans as well.
Cell Coming to Screen
Since adapting novels to screen has been the greatest
thing since sliced bread, it was only a matter of time before one major
studio got on the ball and picked up this latest fantasy thriller from King.
According to Variety,
Dimension Films has acquired rights to Stephen King's Cell and
has already set Hostel helmer Eli Roth to direct.
The deal with Dimension followed King's usual movie rate, $1 against a seven-figure
purchase price with enhancements built in.
Mike Fleiss and Chris Briggs, who have recently worked with Roth on Hostel,
will produce Cell.
Cell is Dimension's second deal with Stephen King, as the studio
prepares to cast the Mikael Hafstrom-directed adaptation of the King novel
1408, which Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski adapted.
Eli Roth admitted that Stephen King is his favorite writer and he looks
forward to adapting the novel to the bigscreen. Depending on time constraints
due to Roth's involvement with the sequel to his last film, Hostel,
Roth is looking to either write or co-write the adaptation.
Stay tuned for updates.
