    This should make an excellent movie. Such a great story.

    Joan Allen will star in A Good Marriage, an adaptation of a Stephen King novella. Peter Askin, who directed the 2007 documentary about the Hollywood Blacklist and McCarthyism titled Trumbo, is on board to helm the thriller and is producing with his Reno Productions partner Will Battersby. Production on Marriage is due to start in New York in mid-October.

    She looks the part. I'm not usually a fan of movies made from King's works (there ARE exceptions, though) but this may be okay.

    Yeah -- depending on who they cast as the husband, this could be exceptional. It'll be interesting to see how they adapt it, though, because so much of it is just her alone. I expect a fairly substantial rewrite.



    I just saw an episode of THE SHIELD that reminded me a lot of this story. The guy was raping older women and eventually murdering them as well and his wife had no clue. Probably also inspired by BTK.

    Stephen King's 'Good Marriage' Housed in Sleepy Hollow



    Perhaps you’ve noticed the house on Bellwood, as you round into Philipse Manor alongside the restoration land – the one that looks like it might be out of a Stephen King movie.



    This old off-white home, slightly creepy in its emptiness and subtle dilapidation, and yet a real potential gem with that backyard idyllic farm, caught the eye of location scouts. Now there is in fact going to be a Stephen King movie being made right here in the Hollow, “A Good Marriage,” whose title is surely ironic.



    “The running joke is that it’s a psychological thriller,” said Village Administrator Anthony Giaccio, “which sounds about right.”

    The Cabin in the Woods and House Of Cards‘ Kristen Connolly is the latest addition to the project and will be playing the daughter of Joan Allen’s character.

    Screen Media Films has acquired North American rights to thriller “A Good Marriage,” adapted from Stephen King’s short story from the collection “Full Dark, No Stars.”

    King wrote the screenplay and Peter Askin directed the film, starring Joan Allen, Anthony LaPaglia, Kristen Connolly and Stephen Lang. Screen Media plans to distribute the film in early October — the start of the Halloween season — with a nationwide theatrical release accompanied by a day-and-date VOD platform release.

    LaPaglia and Allen portray a married couple with the wife discovering the horrifying stranger inside her husband while he’s away on a buisiness trip — ending a good marriage.

    “I’m delighted that ‘A Good Marriage’ is going to be available to the movie going public very soon, and hope we can scare the hell out of millions of people,” King said. “To me, that’s always an exciting prospect.”
