Leonardo DiCaprio is expected to play the leading role in Billy Summers which is a movie adaptation of Stephen King’s 2021 bestseller novel. With JJ Abrams helming the movie, the Titanic star is apparently being considered for the lead role. According to a Friday report from Deadline, Warner Bros. has bought the best-selling book and is thinking about adapting it into a motion picture.
Depending on how Billy Summers’ script comes out, DiCaprio’s Appian Way and Abrams’ Bad Robot will produce the movie. Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz wrote the screenplay for the major motion picture. Billy Summers was previously optioned by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot productions to be turned into a limited series when it was published in 2021 and debuted at No. 1 in The New York Times bestseller list.
The large production companies are now turning it into a movie, though. Billy Summers, a Stephen King adaptation that is purportedly in the very early phases of production as a feature film, is just one of many King adaptations that will be presented on the big screen in 2023.
This year, Gary Dauberman’s version of Salem’s Lot is also anticipated to arrive in theatres. In the crime novel Billy Summers, the ageing assassin who takes on one final assignment before his intended retirement is the main character.
