You Cant Kill Stephen King is a campy indie horror flick about a group of friends that vacation near a lake where Mr. King lives, and begin to get killed off one at a time in ways from his books.
The friends must piece together a string of clues to stop the copy-cat killer, or risk falling victim themselves.
The film is the brainchild of Monroe Mann and Ronnie Khalil, an attorney/Iraq vet and a stand-up comedian respectively, who came up with the idea during a rainy day at the very lake they shot the film. Check out the trailer after the jump.
Well, he declined being in it, says Khalil of Stephen King’s lack of involvement. But we did get him the script very early on and he was kind enough to feature our trailer on his unofficial news section of his website, so were thrilled about that.
The premiere will take place at the Lewiston Auburn Film Festival this Saturday, April 14th, in the Mr. Kings home state of Maine, where so many of his books took place. The film is a hot ticket item at the Festival and Mr. King was sent a personal invitation.
Well, Im not really sure thats going to happen, says Mann. But this film is an homage to him and his films, all of which have obviously influenced us as well many of the cast and crew. If he does come, we hope he laughs and enjoys it.
