Netflix has closed a deal to obtain the rights to the novella In the Tall Grass, written by Stephen King and his son Joe Hill, with James Marsden in talks to star with Vincenzo Natali adapting the novella and directing.
In the Tall Grass centers on Cal and Becky Demuth, inseparable siblings who were born 19 months apart.
This acquisition keeps Netflix in business with Stephen King, following last year which saw two Stephen King adaptations debut on the streaming service, Gerald’s Game and 1922.
Deadline first broke the news about In the Tall Grass earlier today.
