Stephen King’s new short story Bad Little Kid may be turned into a movie.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Laurent Bouzereau has acquired the rights to the story via his Nedland Media company.
The short tale centers around a man who realizes that a strange child may be responsible for the death of his loved ones.
The story was written by King as a tribute to his French and German fans in thanks for their hospitality during a book signing tour last year.
Bouzereau wrote and directed the 2011 documentary A Night at the Movies: The Horrors of Stephen King, which featured interviews with the writer.
Film adaptations of King’s The Ten O’Clock People, The Stand and The Dark Tower are all in various stages of development.
