It’s Stephen King’s world. We’re all just living in it.

Yet another new adaptation of a Stephen King story has been plunked down on the table today, with Deadline reporting that King’s short story Rest Stop is headed to the big screen courtesy of Legendary Entertainment!

Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell) has been set to write and direct.

Described as a propulsive cat and mouse thriller, the plot follows the twisted journey of two women after a fateful encounter at a highway rest stop.





The story was originally published in Esquire back in 2003.

Craig Flores (300, 300: Rise of an Empire) is producing through his Bread & Circuses label, while Alex Garcia and Ali Mendes will oversee the project for Legendary.
