John Cusack To Star In Big-Screen Adaptation Of Stephen King’s ‘The Cell’

Back in 2006 it was revealed that Eli Roth would be helming Stephen King’s The Cell, but since then we haven’t heard much since then. While the project may have seemed dead it appears that John Cusack (Hot Tub Time Machine) has signed on, for what one would just assume is the lead role, for the big-screen adaptation of King’s unique take on the zombie genre.

“New York and LA-based Cargo Entertainment arranged financing on Cell and president of distribution Mark Lindsay will introduce what is expected to become one of the buzz titles of the AFM to international buyers.”

On numerous occasions fans have been disappointed with the adaptations of Kings works, so you me relieved to hear that he co-wrote the screenplay alongside Adam Alleca (The Last House On The Left).

“I’m thrilled to be working with Stephen and John again. Cell is an intelligent psychological thriller that delivers on both a visceral and emotional level.”
