Stephen King sold the rights to his story to Gulnara Ivanova, a student at the Tashkent branch of VGIK, for a dollar. We are talking about the work “The man who did not shake hands.” It is reported by RTVI.
Ivanova said that he participated in the Dollar Baby program, in which the writer gives aspiring filmmakers from around the world the opportunity to use his works. The director shot a short film based on the story, which won the Nitiin International Film Festival in Malaysia in the Best Thriller category.
“The film is not yet available, as soon as it can be shown, I will inform you on my pages,” he added. Now Ivanova is working on her first feature film “Open Your Eyes” based on the story of O. Henry.
The Man Who Didn’t Shake Hands was released in 1985 on King’s compilation The Skeleton Crew. The story is written in the form of a story told by the elderly George Gregson.
Previously, Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro praised the new horror movie “The Last Voyage of Demeter.” However, the film has a 38% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. We talk about it in more detail here.
