CELL is back

. . . don't answer that cellphone!

The movie adaptation of Cell is back!  David Konow at TG Daily tells us:

You may remember some time back that Cell was going to be directed by Eli Roth from a script by Larry Karaszewski and Scott Alexander (Ed Wood, 1408). Then after the hostile reception of Hostel II, Roth claimed he was moving away from horror films, and this version of Cell fell apart. 

 Now Cell is back up and running, and while King adaptations have never fallen out of favor, perhaps he’s back in the zeitgeist right now because of Under the Dome, which will debut next month on CBS. As Giant Freakin Robot reminds us, we’ve also got the reboot of Carrie, Mercy, and A Good Marriage coming up as well.

Konow gave us this from a previous interview with Alexander

“It probably falls into The Stand-type of story.  -- Like a magnet, it ends up grabbing a lot of characters, a lot of people and a lot of ground. It kinda gets bigger and bigger as it goes along. That was tough in terms of trying to chop it down to movie length.”
