, and the less terrible TV adaptation 
starring the underrated Angela Bettis. But since horror remakes and Stephen King are apparently back in style, I guess it was only a matter of time before someone decided to bring his first published work back to the big screen.THR reports that MGM and Screen Gems are planning a remake of King's 1974 book, about a lonely, friendly girl who develops telekinetic powers and proceeds to unleash holy Hell on her high school tormenters. The book was most famously adapted by Brian De Palma into a classic 1976 film starring Spacek, Amy Irving, and John Travolta.
While no director has been nailed down yet, comic book scribe Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa has been brough on to draft the screenplay. He was just recently hired to help steer the disastrous Spiderman: Turn Off the Dark stageplay. His comics work has seen him tackling varied stuff, from adapting Stephen King's The Stand
to superhero work like the X-men and Spider-Man.
