Iconic and prolific author Stephen King’s newest book, Fairy Tale, was published on September 6 and it already has a movie deal and a major director signed on.
Paul Greengrass, known for directing Matt Damon in the Bourne series, is directing, adapting, and producing a Fairy Tale movie. King sold Greengrass the Fairy Tale film option for $1, as King is known to do with his works, but it’s not total charity work. King stands to make a “healthy backend” if the movie does well, according to Deadline.
