[Martin]

On 15 May 2013, Benaroya Pictures and Miscellaneous Entertainment’s announced they will be producing the Stephen King adaptation CELL, starring John Cusack.

I remember when reading Cell, that I thought it would be an easy movie adaptation - or at least easier than a lot of other King stories.

Hadn't really thought of John Cusack in that regard, but considering it now, I actually think he's a great fit.

I don't really have any knowledge of Tod Williams, so won't comment on him as director.

Shooting starts in September, so hopefully we can see it in (summer?) 2014.

Good choice. Cusack was excellent in 1408, another King story.

Tod Williams is unknown to me as well.

Looking forward to seeing this.

Great choice! Can't think of a John Cusack film I'd didn't like.

Tod Williams directed Paranormal Activity 2.

Cusack was brilliant in Identity.

Seems like only yesterday he was a geek gawking Molly Ringwald's panties in Sixteen Candles!

I really loved Cell. I know a lot of people thought it slowed down too much after the intense beginnning; but personally I enjoyed where King took the story. It isn't his best work, but it is overall a fun read and I absolutely LOVE the ending! :)

Cell is a fun read. It gets kind of "out there" but hey that's OK. Cusack is always enjoyable to me, I even liked http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1486192/

I really enjoyed the book Cell and am excited for the movie. However, I'm not a big John Cusack fan. He's okay but I pictured someone a little more rough around the edges.

[Squire]

My self, I pictured someone a little more slight and effeminate in the role of Clay, but Cusack works for me...

I really think that Cell is my second favorite King book. And Cusack is my favorite actor, so I believe it'll be a great movie.
