Stephen King adaptations just keep coming, not that we’re complaining. The latest edition to the list is an adaptation of King’s Roadwork which is now in the works from Andy and Barbara Muschietti (IT, IT: Chapter Two), who will be producing. Pablo Trapero (The Clan) is directing. Production is set to begin next year. In the book, “It’s all coming to an end for Barton Dawes. The city’s Highway 784 extension is in the process of being constructed right across town and inexorably through every aspect of Bart’s existence—whether it’s about to barrel over the laundry plant where he makes a living, or soon to smash through the very home where he makes a life. But as a result, something’s been happening inside Bart’s head that a heartless local bureaucracy isn’t prepared for—a complete and irrevocable burnout of the mental circuit breaker that keeps a mild-mannered person from turning to violent means. As the wheels of progress and a demolition

Horror heavy-hitter James Wan, the man behind The Conjuring universe, is adapting one of Stephen King‘s biggest hits, the 1975 vampire novel Salem’s Lot. THR is reporting that The Nun‘s Gary Dauberman has signed on the pen the adaptation and executive produce the film with Wan producing.

We’ve been talking a lot about Stephen King lately, what can we say, the man popular. This time we have news on the master or horror’s latest novel, The Institute. This September the novel will take readers to a dark place, where children with special gifts are kidnapped and imprisoned by the evil Mrs. Sigsby. The synopsis goes like this: “In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis’s parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents—telekinesis and telepathy—who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated
