While we have yet to see Edgar Wright's COVID-delayed genre film
Last Night in Soho, the fan-favorite filmmaker has lined up his next project. Wright will team with Paramount Pictures and producers Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon through Genre Films, with Nira Park from Wright's Complete Fiction studio, for an updated take on Stephen King's novel
Previously filmed in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead role, this new film will not be a remake but a more faithful adaptation of King's book written under the pseudonym of Richard Bachman.
