Stephen King’s 1987 novel, Misery, will be getting the Broadway treatment.
William Goldman, the screenwriter behind the 1990 film adaptation, wrote the play. Bruce Willis and Elizabeth Marvel have signed on for the lead roles.
Here’s more from The Hollywood Reporter: “Willis will play the housebound romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who becomes a prisoner of his unhinged “Number One Fan” Wilkes (Marvel) after she rescues him from a car accident and learns that he plans to kill off her favorite fictional character. Will Frears (Omnium Gatherum) has signed on to direct the play, which is scheduled for a limited run in the fall at a theater to be announced.” (via USA Today)
