A film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Cell has been kicking around for over six years, with Eli Roth at one point set to direct, based on a screenplay by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. Now, per a press release today from Benaroya Pictures, it’s The Door in the Floor and Paranormal Activity 2 director Tod Williams who’s set to helm the story about a mysterious cell phone pulse that spreads a deadly virus, and Samuel L. Jackson has agreed to join John Cusack, his erstwhile co-star on another King adaptation, 1408, in starring. Filming on Cell will commence early next year, from a script penned by The Last House on the Left scribe Adam Alleca and King himself.
