The long-anticipated film adaption of the Stephen King and Peter Straub fantasy novel The Talisman has found a writer in New Mutants director Josh Boone.
The book was successful enough to spawn a sequel titled Black House and a comic book adaption.
Universal purchased the rights to the book in the same year it was published – 1984 – for Stephen Spielberg to direct.
A film based on the novel The Talisman is something fans have been waiting more than 30 years for.
