Tobe Hooper and Stephen King - From a Buick 8
 
October 11, 2007


Tobe Hooper (“Poltergeist”, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”) will return to doing what he does best with a film adaptation of Stephen King’s "From a Buick 8” in his future.

You may recall that George Romero was originally tapped to helm.

Variety says actor-writer Johnathon Schaech (“Roadhouse 2”) and Richard Chizmar wrote the script, which was optioned by Moonstone Entertainment chairman-CEO Etchie Stroh and Amicus Entertainment prexy Robert Katz – and somehow it got the attention of Hooper (Romero’s attachment indenture probably lapsed).

"From a Buick 8" centers on a mysterious Buick stored in a state trooper barracks. After one of the troopers dies, his son becomes obsessed with the mysterious vintage automobile.

"From a Buick 8" will not be "your stock horror film by any means. There's a really cool, layered quality to the story," Hooper said. "The producers, writers and I shared the same sensibility about the project and responded to it in a similar way."

Schaech, Chizmar and frequent King collaborator Mick Garris (“The Stand”) will produce.
