Josh Boone Shares Early Storyboard for Stephen King’s ‘The Talisman’
Next up on the Stephen King revival train is Amblin’s adaptation of The Talisman, which recently enlisted Fault in Our Stars and New Mutants director Josh Boone.
Boone is currently penning the script, but could potentially also direct.
“Based on the best-selling novel, the movie follows a boy, who in order to save his mother from certain death, enters a parallel world known as the Territories in search of a powerful talisman.”
While Boone works on the script, he’s revealed over on Instagram that his longtime storyboard artist Ashley Guillory is illustrating the script as he goes.
Check out an early first look at the adaptation below!
Chris Columbus (Gremlins – writer, Home Alone – director) is headed back into the director’s chair for Thursday Murder Club, Amblin’s upcoming feature film adaptation of the same-titled novel written by Richard Osman. Variety first reported the news this morning.
It’s not a horror movie, mind you, but rather a star-studded murder-mystery. Think Rian Johnson’s Knives Out… only this particular murder-mystery is set in a retirement community!
Variety details, “The book, released in 2020, tells the story of four septuagenarian friends who live in a retirement community and solve cold cases for fun. When a shady property developer is found dead, the four find themselves in the middle of their first live crime.”
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan and Ben Kingsley are “being eyed” to lead the cast!
Richard Osman’s 2020 novel was such a hit that it launched a franchise. Follow-up The Man Who Died Twice followed in 2021, with The Bullet That Missed coming along in 2022. And then there was The Last Devil to Die in 2023, with a fifth book in the series expected in 2025.
