In more news from Cannes, Atlas International has added an adaptation of Stephen King’s short story “A Good Marriage” to its slate. Peter Askin will direct the psychological thriller based on a story from King’s book Full Dark, No Stars, winner of the 2010 Bram Stoker Award for Best Collection.
Will Battersby will produce A Good Marriage, which follows a woman who discovers her husband’s dark secret hiding in their garage. The New York shoot is set to get under way in late summer for a summer 2013 release. Casting is in process.
“Everyone at Atlas is very excited to be part of this project and honored by its new association with Stephen King, a true master if there ever was,“ says Philipp Menz, CEO of Atlas International.
Story Synopsis:
When her husband of more than twenty years is away on one of his business trips, Darcy Anderson looks for batteries in the garage. Her toe knocks up against a box under a worktable, and she discovers the stranger inside her husband. It’s a horrifying discovery, rendered with bristling intensity, and it definitively ends a good marriage. (Listen to an excerpt here.)
