We’ve been reporting on quite a few upcoming projects based on Stephen King stories. Warner Bros. is looking to create a big budget version of The Stand, Ron Howard is trying to adapt The Dark Tower series, Mick Garris just wrapped up a Bag of Bone miniseries, and it has just been announced that Palomar Pictures will be adapting Stephen King’s Rose Madder.
The 1995 novel tells the story of a woman who is in an abusive marriage and is able to turn into someone else by traveling into her painting. Naomi Sheridan (In America) has already written a screenplay and the project is expected to go into production within the next 18 months. For those that would like to learn more about Rose Madder, here is a longer plot synopsis:
“Roused by a single drop of blood on the bedsheet, Rosie Daniels wakes from fourteen years of a nightmare marriage and suddenly takes flight.
