Lifetime’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novella BIG DRIVER is barreling toward us this Halloween, and today we can exclusively share the teaser for it, as well as the premiere date: October 18th. The TV movie stars Maria Bello as a beaten and battered woman hellbent on revenge; this teaser doesn’t share much, but it’s effectively chilling all the same.
Tess Thorne (Maria Bello), a famous mystery writer who gets sidetracked during a long drive home from a book signing. After deciding to take a shortcut, she becomes stranded on a lonely New England road when her tire blows out. Thorne encounters another driver (Will Harris) who turns out to be a serial killer and assaults her. After being left for dead, Thorne escapes and plots her revenge.
BIG DRIVER was directed by Mikael Salomon and the teleplay was penned by Richard Christian Matheson.
