Golden Years: Askin Adapts Stephen King’s Domestic Dilemma
For those hoping for resurgence in the quality of Stephen King stock, the unique promise of A Good Marriage is not the ticket. Sporting King’s first adapted screenplay of his own work since 1989’s Pet Sematary, his customary flourishes are stamped all over it, including the predilection for the perspective of the underdog and plenty of trawling around in the private headspace of the favored character, which inevitably leads to moments of exaggerated artificiality. True, King has (or had) a unique flair for creating intriguing and sometimes empowered female protagonists, but the suburban housewife anchoring the lukewarm scenario here isn’t nearly as well-honed as the film necessitates.
Married for twenty five years, Darcy (Joan Allen) and Bob (Anthony Lapaglia) seem to have found the secret to success. Celebrating with friends and associates, including their daughter, Petra (Kristen Connolly...

Four interesting tidbits coming atcha that we neglected to discuss for multiple reasons. If you hadn't yet heard them, they'll feel like brand new news to you.
In what is clearly understood to be an awards-traction move, Jon Favreau's sleeper hit Chef will be coming back to theaters this Friday in wide release. I'm not sure it has the critical oomph to win any nominations and it didn't have the box office size to make that a non-issue (a la gargantuan hits like My Big Fat Greek Wedding) but could it sleeper hit its way into, say, The Screenplay race? I'm realizing I neglected to consider it at all there which is an obvious mistake. I had a really good time watching it with friends though; it's an easy sit and safe for diverse groups of viewers. My favorite visual was ScarJo eating a bowl of pasta but my...

As the Master of Horror, Stephen King has seen countless adaptations of his works. And with long anticipated versions of The Dark Tower, It and The Stand in the works, it’s easy to forget that some of King’s lesser known stories are also getting the big screen treatment.
This fall will see the release of A Good Marriage, based on a short story from the author’s 2010 novella collection Full Dark, No Stars – and honestly, if King’s name wasn’t attached, the familiar nature of the story would have kept this one off our radar altogether. Now, the first trailer for the thriller has hit, showing off the strong cast while unfortunately spoiling the plot’s main twist.

Nicolas Cage is busy lining up projects. And his next movie sounds very Nicolas Cage-y. Caleb Landry Jones is slowly becoming a leading man. And Vince Vaugh just added a new lady to his upcoming comedy Starbuck. Get the details below:
Caleb Landry Jones is having a good year. In January he co-starred alongside Mark Walhberg in the decent thriller Contraband; and he got a starring role in Brandon Cronenberg’s debut feature Antiviral, currently playing at Tiff. Now, he’s in negotiations to appear in John Boorman’s upcoming Queen and Country, a sequel to 1987′s Hope and Glory. Source: Variety Nicolas Cage’s next project is exactly what you think it is: a story about a random man who seeks revenge after his wife is murdered. Before you roll your eyes at this bland-sounding project, know that William Friedkin, who directed films like The French Connection, 1973′s The Exorcist,...

Chloe Moretz is hard at work making the new film version of Stephen King's Carrie, but now another project based on one of the author's spooky stories has found its leading lady. Joan Allen, who reprised her role as Pam Landy in The Bourne Legacy this summer, is now attached to star in A Good Marriage, a new feature based on one of King's short stories from Full Dark, No Stars. Peter Askin, who directed the drama Certainty in 2011 and the documentary Trumbo in 2007, is helming the new film. THR says the story is about Darcy (Allen), a woman who learns that her husband of 25 years, with whom she has had two children, has actually been living a "sinister and gruesome double life." After learning this information, she must decide how far she will be able to go to keep her family together.Unlike many of King's stories, which...

Looks like yet another Stephen King adaptation is on its way (this one joins the in-production Carrie, the still-up-for-grabs The Dark Tower, that apparent two-film It adaptation, the long-rumored The Stand remake, and maybe even an Under the Dome series and a few Rose Madder films, just for fun) to theaters, but this one is a much less well-known property that has a far more homegrown sense of terror to it than some of those old King classics. THR reports that Joan Allen will star in A Good Marriage, which King has adapted from his own novella. Peter Askin (Trumbo, Searching for Certainty) will direct the film, which comes from King’s 2010 short story collection “Full Dark, No Stars.” Shockingly, it’s not really a story about a good marriage. Allen will star as Darcy Anderson, one-half of a seemingly normal and well-adjusted couple. Darcy and her husband, Bob, live and work together in relative harmony until...

Peter Askin has been tapped as a surprising choice to direct the latest Stephen King adaptation, A Good Marriage. Askin, who has shot just four films to date, one of which being the National Board of Review award winning documentary Trumbo, took control of the director’s chair for the fourth time last year when he helmed the Robert Arensen fronted, Certainty. According to Screen Daily, “Atlas International has added Stephen King adaptation ‘A Good Marriage’ to its Cannes slate.

Mike O'Malley, who is recurring on Fox/20th TV's Glee, is adding a potential regular series gig to his plate, also for Fox and 20th TV. O'Malley is set to play the lead in the single-camera comedy pilot Family Album, written by Joe Port and Joe Wiseman and directed by Shawn Levy. It centers on Dave (O'Malley), a passionate, overly enthusiastic former jock who, after a breakthrough experience on a family vacation returns home with a renewed conviction to "bond the crap out of his family." O'Malley had a choice of a comedy and drama series gig this pilot season with offers for Family Album and NBC's drama Grimm, ultimately going with the half-hour project. The deal for Family Album calls for O'Malley to continue his recurring role as Kurt's sensitive single dad Burt Hummel on Glee, which earned him a guest starring Emmy nomination. Additionally, O'Malley, repped by CAA and Principato Young,...
