The horror writer Stephen King has given a group of teenage fans from south Wales permission to turn one of his tales into a film at a cost of $1 for the rights.
The Tredegar teenagers are benefiting from a scheme called dollar baby under which students are allowed to make films based on King’s work.
It will not be the first horror film to be made in Tredegar in recent times.
They will not be able to make a profit on the film, but hope to get it screened at festivals and will send King a copy as part of the deal.
