FIlm Bridge International, producer of DOlans Cadillac (still in pre-production) is currently negotiating with Érik Canuel (already director of King's adaptations with 2 episods of the serie The Dead Zone)
The website of FIlm Bridge International presents the film as :
A film by ERIK CANUEL
Starring
CHRISTIAN SLATER
WES BENTLEY
And the following description:
Tom Robinson is a peaceful, law-abiding schoolteacher. When his bride Elizabeth accidentally witnesses a murder, he finds himself on a road straight to hell. The killer is James Dolan, Las Vegas’ most ruthless and untouchable mob boss. Elizabeth agrees to testify against him and soon we find out just why Dolan has remained untouched… Anyone who dares to go up against him faces deadly consequences. In Elizabeth’s case, a bomb strapped to the bottom of a car.
Devastated by her death, Robinson tries all the legal channels at his disposal to bring Dolan to justice. But without hard evidence, Dolan remains free, able to run his empire seemingly untouchable. Frustrated and alone, Robinson begins to receive visits from his dead wife urging him to seek revenge. Is Elizabeth really reaching beyond the grave or has he begun his slow decent into insanity? Robinson continues to hear the voices and is driven to construct his own plan -- an elaborate and dangerous one-in-a-million shot.
Joining a dangerous road construction crew of ex-convicts, he battles the heat and dangers of the Nevada desert working by day, and at night he tries to infiltrate Dolan’s underworld. Haunted by the ghost of wife, Robinson transforms himself into an obsessed vengeance machine, pushing himself beyond the breaking point of mind, body and spirit.
When the two men finally meet deep in the heart of the desert, Dolan’s Cadillac climaxes with an amazing test of wills - the ultimate duel in the sun. The Cadillac, which has been Dolan’s armor, may just as easily become his tomb.
This is Vengeance, Stephen King Style.
But obviously, nothing is done yet... the movie is still in pre-production...
