Hopper Kicks Tires For “Dolan’s Cadillac”
Tuesday, February 13th, 2007
Legendary screen star Dennis Hopper is in contract negotiations to star in “Dolan’s Cadillac”, another adaptation of a Stephen King story to the big screen. Hopper would play a Las Vegas gangster/casino owner named Jimmy Dolan who is about to spend the rest of his life behind bars as he awaits trial for his various crimes. The one witness that can put him away for good is the wife of a middle school science teacher who accidentally saw Dolan perform an execution in the desert, so Dolan has her killed before his case can go to trial. As the grieving husband learns that he won’t have justice through legal channels he uses his smarts and comes up with an intricate way to get his revenge on the villain.
Two more Stephen King movies are also in the near future and scheduled for release later this year. “1408″ stars John Cusack as a man that debunks claims of paranormal phenomena called upon to refute claims of a supposedly haunted room of a hotel. Samuel L. Jackson also stars in the film which is slated for release on July 13, 2007. Based on a novella by King, “The Mist” is about to start filming next month under the direction of Frank Darabont (”The Shawshank Redemption”.) Thomas Jane (”The Punisher”) plays one of many frightened customers trapped inside a supermarket that is suddenly surrounded by frightening and hungry creatures that lurk inside a strange mist. It’s slated for a November 21 release.
