Per Deadline, The Tommyknockers adaptation Wan is producing landed at Universal Pictures after an auction in which Netflix and Sony were also bidding.
Later this year, Atomic Monster will release The Nun starring Taissa Farmiga and The Children featuring Linda Cardellini, who previously starred in the Netflix Original series Bloodline.
Rabid fans of King’s work are known as “Constant Readers,” and Wan’s adaptation of The Tommyknockers will undoubtedly create a new fan base.
Surprisingly, King reportedly isn’t a fan of The Tommyknockers, as he once labeled it an “awful book.”
