Stephen King's FROM A BUICK 8 is Getting a Feature Film Adaptation

Movie Stephen King Horror Adaptation From A Buick 8 about 5 years agoby Mick Joest

Stephen King adaptations are all the rage right now, and it was only a matter of time before studios started going after his deeper cuts in an attempt to snatch up some of that sweet King-related revenue.

Deadline reports Hyde Park Entertainment has optioned the rights to From A Buick 8 and has William Brent Bell on board to write the script and direct. Readers might know Bell for his work on The Devil Inside or Stay Alive. Just in case you're not familiar with the story:

From a Buick 8 centers around the rural town of Statler, Pennsylvania where the state police have kept a mysterious 1954 Buick Roadmaster in the shed behind the barracks for over twenty years. But when the town is plagued by strange and supernatural events, it turns out the Buick isn’t exactly a car- it’s a door to another dimension.

I don't claim to be the biggest Stephen King fan, so I have no problem saying I haven't touched his books involving cars. Is that a mistake in the case of From A Buick 8? Do you see this making a good film?
