There's another upcoming Stephen King adaptation to add to the list: Rat, the author's 2020 novella, is coming to the big screen.
Per Deadline, The Haunting of Hill House writer Jeff Howard will pen the script, while Mexican filmmaker Isaac Ezban is in the director's chair. Jay Van Hoy, who previously worked on Robert Eggers' horror movies The Witch and The Lighthouse, is producing.
Rat follows Drew, a writer who's "cursed by his own ambition. Each attempt at a novel has ended in disaster – illness, misfortune, or worse. Determined to break the cycle, he retreats to a desolate cabin in the Maine woods, convinced this time will be different. But as a violent storm traps him in isolation, Drew's body falters and his mind begins to unravel. In the grip of fever and madness, a stranger appears – an uncanny visitor who promises salvation and success… for a price Drew can barely comprehend."
