Stephen Lang Married to Stephen King’s A Good Marriage

The casting news continues for the adaptation of the Stephen King novella from Full Dark No Stars entitled A Good Marriage as a seasoned actor has gone from destroying planets and fighting dinosaurs to one hell of a marital dispute.

Avatar and “Terra Nova” star Stephen Lang has signed up for active duty on the project. King’s story centers on a woman named Darcy (Joan Allen) who discovers the sinister and gruesome double life that her husband of 25 years (Anthony LaPaglia) and father of their two children has been living. She must now decide how far she is willing to go to maintain the marriage. Lang will play a retired investigator from the Maine Attorney General’s office who is obsessed with solving the husband’s possible crimes.

King wrote the screenplay for the movie, which is being financed by independent equity. Paradigm is handling domestic rights, while Atlas International is selling foreign rights. Peter Askin, who directed the 2007 documentary about the Hollywood Blacklist and McCarthyism titled Trumbo, is on board to helm the thriller and is producing with his Reno Productions partner Will Battersby.
