According to Variety, Frank Darabont has signed on to direct the upcoming big screen adaptation of Stephen King's THE MIST for Dimension Films.
The film will take place in a small town where a thick mist engulfs the area, killing those caught in its darkness. Terrified survivors seek refuge in a supermarket, while a swarm of murderous critters tries to get in.
"It's a project Stephen King and I have been talking about doing for almost 20 years now," Darabont told Variety. "In fact, it almost was my first directing project many years ago, but I went classy and did 'The Shawshank Redemption' instead. It's time to get down and dirty and make a nasty little character-driven gut-punch horror movie."
Thomas Jane is in negotiations to join the cast, production is expected to start this coming Spring.
