Tom Holland to direct The Ten O’clock People

Stephen King´s Kurzgeschichte ´Die Zehn-Uhr-Leute wird von Tom Holland verfilmt.


Here are the press release:

“Veteran Director Tom Holland (“Fright Night,” “Child’s Play”) has signed on to adapt and direct the feature film “The Ten O’clock People,” a short story by Stephen King. Holland and King have previously collaborated on the popular thrillers “The Langoliers” and“Thinner.” After an extended hiatus, Holland returned to directing in 2007 as a featured director in the acclaimed “Masters of Horror” series for Showtime.Currently he is writing and directing “Twisted Tales,” a series of shorts for FearNet. “The Ten O’clock People” will be his highly anticipated and first theatrical release since“Thinner.”

King’s “The Ten O’clock People” was a short story published in 1993 as part of his “Nightmares and Dreamscapes” collection and was notable for being set in Boston, Massachusetts as opposed to his familiar Maine locale. The story follows Brandon Pearson, who in trying to kick his smoking habit uncovers a frightening aspect of reality, he plans to extinguish through extreme measures.

Inspired by his own struggle with kicking the habit, “ [this story] was Stephen trying to deal with his cigarette jones and the fairly new no-smoking laws back in the 90’s. This film will be a modernization of the original short story, a paranoid suspense piece,” commented Holland.

“With Ron Howard’s ‘The Dark Tower’ adaptation and remakes of‘Carrie’ and ‘The Stand’ on the horizon, 2013 is shaping up to be the year of King.” Said Producers Nathaniel Kramer and E.J. Meyers, “We’re excited to be contributing to it.”

“The Ten O’clock People” will begin filming this summer and is produced by Making Ten O’clock Productions and Holland’s Dead Rabbit Films.”

Langoliers & Thinner fand ich super - da bin ich mal gespannt

Da freu ich mich wirklich drauf. Bin wohl einer der wenigen, die die Geschichte gut finden. Liest sich einfach wie herrlicher Trash aus den 80ern.

Interessant, was die IMDB bei "Die Zehn-Uhr-Leute" in der Leiste Darsteller so listet: Zunächst einmal Stephen King persönlich, daraufhin Kathy Bates. Natürlich beides nur Gerüchte, obwohl ich mir einen möglichen Cameo von King vorstellen kann, war er doch bislang in jedem Tom Holland Film dabei (Langoliers, Thinner...)

Habe die Kurzgeschichte noch nicht gelesen, aber Kathy Bates (wenns wirklich stimmt!?) ist immer gut! Kann mal einer bitte schnell in ein, zwei Sätzen sagen um was es darin geht?
