Lay Me Down In the Tall Grass

.
Twas way back in 2015 we first heard that Stephen King's story In the Tall Grass (co-written with his son Joe Hill) was being turned into a movie for Netflix by director Vincenzo Natali (he of Cube and Splice and many an episode of Hannibal too) -- well it only took three years but today comes fresh hot news, emphasis on hot, that this week's banner boy Patrick Wilson has taken the leading role! (thx Mac) Supposedly James Marsden was gonna do it, but he's been swapped out. Imagine James Marsden or Patrick Wilson being your choices in life! Phew! Anyway ITTG is about a brother and sister who get lured into some (you guessed it) tall grass in Kansas by a strange noise and dun dun dun discover they might be trapped. I mean sure monsters or whatever but if you're trapped in a field with Patrick Wilson... can it really be that bad? I guess we'll find out.
