Stephen King’s ‘Autopsy Room Four’ Set for Big Screen Adaptation by Ranjeet S. Marwa and Jon Levin

According to Deadline, Stephen King‘s chilling tale ‘Autopsy Room Four’ is heading to the big screen, under the direction of British filmmaker Ranjeet S. Marwa and produced by Jon Levin, a former high-ranking agent at CAA.

Levin, known for his role in Netflix’s adaptation of King’s ‘In The Tall Grass’, will bring his extensive experience in Hollywood to this new project.

The short story, first published in 1997 in King’s collection ‘Six Stories’, explores the terrifying experience of a man who believes he is alive but trapped inside an autopsy room.

This gripping narrative of survival and existential dread was previously adapted into a short film in 2003 and was featured in TNT’s ‘Nightmares & Dreamscapes’ series in 2006.

Ranjeet S. Marwa, who will both write and direct the film, has a history of engaging with King’s work, having directed ‘The Man Who Loved Flowers’, a short film inspired by another of King’s stories.

His recent projects include ‘Dig Me No Grave’ and ‘Spring Lakes’, which were picked up by Buffalo 8 and Gravitas Ventures, respectively.

Jon Levin, with nearly four decades at CAA, has been instrumental in packaging films like ‘Shrek’ and ‘Mrs Doubtfire’, and TV series including ‘American Gods’ and ‘Good Omens’.

Since leaving CAA, he has continued to manage a roster of creatives and produce films such as ‘If You Were The Last’ starring Anthony Mackie.

As King has officially approved this adaptation, fans can anticipate a film that delves deeply into the themes of fear and the human condition, typical of King’s renowned storytelling prowess.

Stay tuned as this project moves through development, promising to bring another of Stephen King’s haunting worlds to life.
