Joe Hill's TWITTERING FROM THE CIRCUS OF THE DEAD Picked Up
Joseph Hillstrom King, better known as Joe Hill is an author as well as comic book writer..oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that fact that he just happens to be the son of Stephen King. Talk about some pretty big shoes to fill. Well today we learned that Joe is about to make his daddy proud by following his path straight to Hollywood's doorstep.
According to The Hollywood Reporter.com, Mandalay Entertainment Group has picked up the film rights to Hill’s short story Twittering from the Circus of the Dead, which appeared in The New Dead, an anthology of zombie stories which was published earlier this year.
The story, which is written entirely as tweets, follows a young girls journey across country with her family. During the road trip something goes completely awry...
Chris Borelli will be writing the adaptation of Hill's story, and Todd Lincoln is currently in negotiations to direct.
Stay tuned for more info...

Check out "Heart Shaped Box" it's a crazy good read, and is also in the works to become a movie.
