Production has officially finally begun on the long-awaited film adaptation of Stephen King’s DOLAN’S CADILLAC, starring Wes Bentley, Christian Slater, and Emmanuelle Vaugier. The flick is shooting in Regina and Moose Jaw, Canada, under the direction of t.v. vet Jeff Beesley.
Here’s the synopsis: “Tom Robinson (Wes Bentley) is a peaceful, law-abiding schoolteacher until his wife Elizabeth (Emmanuelle Vaugier) accidentally witnesses a murder. Jimmy Dolan (Christian Slater), Las Vegas’ most ruthless and untouchable mob boss, never leaves behind a witness. Haunted by the ghost of his wife, Robinson transforms himself into an obsessed vengeance machine, pushing himself beyond the breaking point of mind, body and spirit. When the two men finally meet deep in the heart of the desert, Dolan’s Cadillac climaxes with an amazing test of wills the ultimate duel. The Cadillac, which has been Dolan’s armor, may just as easily become his tomb.”

DOLAN’S has had a rough ride getting to the big screen, having at one point or another people like Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Bacon, Gabriel Byrne, Dennis Hopper, and Freddie Prinze Jr. (?!?!) involved. Let’s hope it’s been worth the wait, eh? It should hit theaters (or DVD shelves) sometime next year.
Emmanuelle Vaugier – and yes, that is my kitchen.
