Samuel L. Jackson Circling Stephen King Tale Revival
Samuel L. Jackson is no stranger to horror films and the ominous worlds created by Stephen King. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Jackson is circling the very meaty role of Charles Jacobs in the adaptation of King’s Revival.
Josh Boone, who directed The Fault in Our Stars, has written the script and will helm the project, with Michael de Luca on board as producer.
The character of Charles Jacobs is one of King’s most interesting and complex: He’s a charismatic, small-town preacher who begins experimenting with the supernatural using electricity after his wife and child are killed in an accident.
No word yet as to who is in talks to play the lead character, Jamie Morton.
Boone is also attached to direct an adaptation of King’s classic novel The Stand, and he’s also set to write and direct a new X-Men spinoff, The New Mutants, plus a new adaptation of Anne Rice’s The Vampire Chronicles.
