Jim Meekle will drive a Buick

Actor Thomas Jane ("Deep Blue Sea", "Mist"), also involved in the creation of the horror, said in a podcast that despite this appointment, the date of the start of work on the future film is still unknown.

The mystery is kept in a local garage - this is a perfectly preserved vintage car, the truth about which turns out to be worse than you might imagine. The car turns out to be a fiend of hell, which has dominated the lives of police officers for 20 years ... Previously, Thomas Jane has already starred in film adaptations of Stephen King's books (Dreamcatcher, 1922). One of the last film adaptations of the works of the king of horrors were the tapes "It" and "Pet Sematary". Source: Comicbook The Topic of Article: Jim Meekle will drive a Buick. |
