Yet another StephenKing adaptation is on the way, this one BillySummers with JJ Abrams and Leonardo DiCaprio involved.
\nBilly Summers, a 2021 novel by Stephen King, is the latest story from the prolific writer to be picked up. This time Bad Robot snapped it up, as J.J. Abrams will co-produce with Leonardo DiCaprio's Appian Way company. Whispers are that Abrams may direct with Leo starring. Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz will handle writing duties. Bad Robot is no stranger to King, as they have had a perfect working relationship these last few years on projects like Castle Rock.
The job requires him to embed himself in a quiet town, where he pretends to be an aspiring writer . He sets up in an office with a direct view of where hitman Joel Allen will be delivered to face trial for shooting two men during a poker game. Allen also has committed enough murders for some high-level mobsters to be scared the gunman will incriminate his former employers to lessen his sentence.
