Get ready stateside filmgoers, because the “phoners” (aka “crazies”) are coming to the Us. Stephen King fans know that the master of macabre doesn’t like using cell phones. His 2006 novel, Cell, is a cautionary tale about what can go wrong by pressing portable phones to our ears and keeping them close at hand in our pockets, and its unflinching subject matter contains flocks of murderous lunatics that would be right at home in Danny Boyle’s 28 Days Later, George A. Romero’s The Crazies, or Simon Clark’s Blood Crazy.
We knew this unique King novel was getting the adaptation treatment, with King co-writing the screenplay and John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson in the lead roles, but we’re now one big step closer to seeing it on the silver screen, as Clarius Entertainment has acquired the Us rights to the movie.
Slated to hit theaters this year,...

Producers Michael Benaroya and Richard Saperstein announced from Berlin today that their film "Cell" has been picked up for distribution in the U.S. by Clarius Entertainment. The thriller was made by Benaroya Pictures and The Genre Company and directed by Todd "Kip" Williams. Adapted by Stephen King from his own novel, "Cell" takes place post-apocalypse, when cell phones have been weaponized and there is no escape from their reach, as if you're trapped in a jail cell. Get it? Cell/cell. You get it. Louise Chater, Clarius' head of acquisitions, said of the purchase, "'Cell' is an exciting addition to our slate, with solid pedigree both in front of and behind the camera and a wild ride of a story for our cell phone-dependent culture." "Cell" stars Samuel L. Jackson, John Cusack, Isabelle Fuhrman ("The Hunger Games") and Stacy Keach ("Nebraska"). Clarus is planning a wide release later this year.
