Long Starts Working For Holland @ "Ten O'Clock"

Justin Long is in talks for the lead role in the film adaptation of author Stephen King's short story "The Ten O'Clock People" says Deadline.


The premise follows Boston man Brandon Pearson (Long) who is trying to kick his smoking habit. As a result of this, a unique chemical imbalance allows him to see a frightening aspect of reality he hadn't previously seen - that many people living in positions of power are actually inhuman monsters disguised as people.

Tom Holland ("Child's Play," the original "Fright Night") wrote the adapted script and will direct

The tale was first published in the 1993 as part of the anthology "Nightmares And Dreamscapes". Five stories from the collection made up a basic cable anthology mini-series of the same name in 2006.

Production begins in September in New York City
