Rich’s Stage 13 short story was initially published in a collection of shorts titled Hits and Misses.
According to Deadline, Amblin Partners is teaming up with Edgar Wright (Baby Driver, Last Night in Soho, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) and Emmy winner Simon Rich (Saturday Night Live, Miracle Workers, An American Pickle) on the adaptation of Rich’s ghost short story Stage 13.
