With various projects up in the air (give us the new Salem’s Lot film, you cowards!), a new Stephen King adaptation is in improvement and has tapped its two leads. Soon coming to MGM+, The Institute will get its on-screen telling just 5 years soon after the ideal-promoting book was published. The series will star Shadow and Bone and The Punisher’s Ben Barnes as effectively as Weeds and Angels in America’s Mary-Louise Parker in the top roles. No stranger to standing at the helm of spooky scary stories, Jack Bender will serve as the drama’s executive producer and director. Bender’s preceding credits include things like films like Child’s Play 3 and Television shows such as The Sopranos and Lost. Adapting the iconic piece of literature to series kind is screenwriter and novelist Benjamin Cavell, whose operate can be noticed on Justified and The Stand – just to name a couple of.
