Stephen King's next thriller, Joyland, has been optioned for film. Set to be published next month by Hard Case Crime, Deadline reports that Tate Taylor (The Help) will direct his own adapted screenplay.
Joyland will initially be available only as a physical book. "I love crime, I love mysteries, and I love ghosts," King said last year, when the book was announced. "I also loved the paperbacks I grew up with as a kid, and for that reason, we're going to hold off on e-publishing this one for the time being. Joyland will be coming out in paperback, and folks who want to read it will have to buy the actual book."

Set in a small-town North Carolina amusement park in 1973, Joyland tells the story of the summer in which college student Devin Jones comes to work as a carny and confronts the legacy of a vicious murder, the fate of a dying child, and the ways both will change his life forever.
