Indie filmmaker Alex Ross Perry is headed down a road many have travelled before: he's adapting a Stephen King story. The Listen Up Phillip writer/director is tackling King's short tale Rest Stop for Legendary.
Rest Stop, originally published in Esquire before appearing in King's 2008 collection Just After Sunset, follows an author named John Dykstra, who overhears a man and a woman arguing in a rest stop bathroom. When it starts to sound like domestic abuse, the author's tougher pseudonym, Rick Hardin, asserts itself, and he intervenes. What follows is a twisted, dangerous cat-and-mouse thriller.
Perry's latest, Her Smell, stars Elisabeth Moss and just kick off its box office run in America, but doesn't have a UK date yet.
