Just when you start to think there aren’t enough Stephen King film adaptations on the horizon, a new one pops into existence. This time, it’s an adaptation of King’s horror novel From A Buick 8<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a>, the film has been optioned by Ashok Amritraj’s Hyde Park Entertainment, and has Amritraj on board as a producer. Addison Mehr and Priya Amritraj will serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n

Though From A Buick 8 <\/strong><\/em>is still in its early stages, it also already has a director attached: William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside<\/strong><\/em>, Stay Alive<\/strong><\/em>), who will be working from a script he is penning himself.<\/p>\n

If you’re unfamiliar with the story, here’s the official Amazon<\/a> synopsis:<\/p>\n

Come close, children, and see the living crocodile.<\/i> A vintage ’54 Buick Roadmaster. At least, that’s what it looks like . . .<\/p>\n

There is a secret hidden in Shed B in the state police barracks in Statler, Pennsylvania. A secret that has drawn troopers for twenty years – terrified yet irresistibly tempted to look at its chrome fenders, silver grille and exotic exhaust system.<\/p>\n

Young Ned Wilcox has started coming by the barracks: mowing the lawn, washing the windows, shovelling snow; it’s a boy’s way of holding on to his father – recently killed in a strange road accident by another Buick.<\/p>\n

And one day Ned peers through the windows of Shed B and discovers the family secret. Like his father, Ned wants answers. He deserves answers. And the secret begins to stir…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The novel was first released in 2002, and was his second work to feature an evil vintage car, after Christine<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

This is the second time a From A Buick 8<\/strong><\/em> film has been in the works: in 2005, Chesapeake Films announced it would be adapting the novel with George Romero directing and a script by Johnathon Schaech and Richard Chizmar. However, Romero was later replaced by Tobe Hooper, and then production stalled in 2009 following problems with financing.<\/p>\n
