Mercy is another short story –originally
titled Gramma- from Stephen King’s
1985 collection Skeleton Crew that is
headed for the big screen. Chandler Riggs (The
Walking Dead) has signed to film and is playing young Georgie, who has to take
care of his ailing grandmother when his mother needs to venture to a hospital
to see her other son, who has been injured. It seems the titular title character
is somewhat of an evil witch. Gramma, by
the way, was adapted once before as an episode of the New Twilight Zone back in 1986 with a screenplay by legendary
author Harlan Ellison. Peter Cornwell (A
Haunting in Connecticut) is directing this new take, based on a screenplay
by Matt Greenberg. The film will also star Mark Duplass, Dylan McDermott,
Francis O’Connor, Shirley Knight, and Super
8’s Joel Courtney.
