Dolan’s Cadillac Movie on 2009?
May 27, 2008
Here’s something worth mentioning about a future project involving Stephen King…
I first read the ‘news’ on Moose Jaw that the a short story from Mr. King’s Nightmares and Dreamscape called Dolan’s Cadillac will be produced and to be shown on 2009.
True or not, that was my thought too.
I then checked IMDB and saw that it is indeed in pre production!
Dolan’s Cadillac is about
“a dark revenge tale about Las Vegas middle school science teacher Tom Robinson whose beloved wife Francey witnesses an execution in the desert and is then targeted for death by the mobster who committed it, notorious Vegas crime lord Jimmy Dolan. Dolan’s vast wealth stems from his control of The Mandarin casino. Dolan succeeds in having Francey killed before she can testify against him. Faced with resistance from law enforcement, Tom sets out to avenge his wife’s death..”
I dearly hope they can resist the temptation to alter the story — in print version it was perfect. One of my all-time favorite SK stories.
I hope its good. I know it wont get a serious release–I bet it will but it wont get enthuasiastic results.
I’m sure Christian Slater will do better than Johnny Depp in “Secret Window”.
