Slater, Bentley & Vaugier in DOLAN'S CADILLAC
Stephen King's short story about a guy vowing to avenge the death of his wife is greenlit and begins casting!
Stephen King's short story Dolan's Cadillac has been picked up by the small Indie outfit Film Bridge International. Wes Bentley will star as a guy who vows to avenge the death of his wife by the notorious and untouchable Las Vegas mob boss Jimmy Dolan. Emmanuelle Vaugier (she was Adison in the last two Saw movies) will play the unfortunate wife. Christian Slater is the mob boss. Erik Canuel (helmed some episodes of The Dead Zone, based on the King novel) will direct from a Richard Dooling (Critical Care) screenplay says The Hollywood Reporter. 2007 saw two King novels adapted for screen, one was pretty terrible but everyone seemed to like (1408), the other was absolutely awesome but most critics panned it (The Mist). Although there have been an awful lot of studio deals for King novels in the last two years, it's only his novel From a Buick 8 which is to be directed by veteran Tobe Hooper which actually looks close to be filming soon. Others like Cell, The Long Walk, The Dark Tower and Bag of Bones have been talked about but so far not yet fully put into development.
