Giancarlo Esposito Is Working To Adapt An Absolutely Terrifying Stephen King Story, And My Fingers Are Tightly Crossed For This One

Giancarlo Esposito, known for his role in Breaking Bad, has a connection to Stephen King, having appeared in King’s directorial debut, Maximum Overdrive (1986), and the first episode of the horror series Creepshow, which was based on King’s story “Gray Matter.” Now, Deadline reports he’s developing a film adaptation of “The Dreamers,” a novella from the 2024 collection You Like It Darker – a personal favorite of mine. Esposito says the deal is almost complete, and he’s working with screenwriter Guy Busick, a frequent collaborator, most recently on the 2024 horror film Abigail.
