Mercy is the adaptation of King's short story Gramma. The story follows two young boys who go with their single mother to take care of their elderly, senile grandmother named Mercy, only to discover she's a witch who made a pact with a dark force many years before. Fear not, this is no Hanel and Gretel Witch hunter stuff.

I hope this turns out well, but my guess is that it's going to have very little to do with the King story.
ReplyDeleteThe good news at least is this along with Under the Dome means we've got more King on film to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteThe bad news: we're still probably a long way from seeing an adaptation of 11/22/63 anytime soon (Frank Darabont, where are you? Hellooooo?).
