2025 is in the running for the best year ever for Stephen King adaptations, with mega-standouts like the gory mayhem of Oz Perkins’ The Monkey, the bleak masterpiece The Long Walk, and the life-affirming journey of The Life of Chuck. No moratoriums are in place, however, so we can look forward to plenty of other upcoming horror movies and shows inspired by King’s works. Such as this wildly unexpected new announcement.
Indie studio Intrinsic Value Films is set to bring several high-interest projects to the American Film Market, which takes place from November 11-15, and one of those pitches is ann adaptation of King’s poignant short story “Mister Yummy,” which was included in the 2015 collection The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. (It’s one of only two stories in the anthology that hadn’t ever been published previously.)
