Deadline reports that the King adaptations show no sign of slowing down, as THE REGULATORS (published under his pseudonym Richard Bachman in 1996) is coming our way!

The Regulators is the story of the peaceful suburban life on Poplar Street in Wentworth, Ohio that is shattered one fine day when four vans containing shotgun-wielding “regulators” terrorize the street’s residents, cold-bloodedly killing anyone foolish enough to venture outdoors.

Houses mysteriously transform into log cabins and the street now ends in what looks like a child’s hand-drawn western landscape. Masterminding this sudden onslaught is an evil creature who has taken over the body of an autistic boy whose parents were killed in a drive-by shooting several months earlier.”

King has said “I’m delighted that the excitement of ‘The Regulators’ is coming to the screen, this is going to be good.”
