    Some good news today for Stephen King fans who are looking forward to the latest screen adaptation of his work Dolan's Cadillac. On April 6th Eagle Entertainment will be dropping the flick on DVD and Blu-ray.

    According to Hi-Def Digest supplements will include cast/crew interviews, a behind-the-scenes featurette, and B-roll footage.

    Synopsis

    "Based on Stephen King’s eponymous short story, Dolan’s Cadillac is a dark tale of murderous and unrepentant revenge. A modern twist on the Edgar Allan Poe classic ‘The Cask of Amontillado,’ Dolan’s Cadillac proves that revenge really is a dish best served cold.

    Robinson is a non-descript middle school teacher whose beloved wife, Elizabeth, witnesses an execution in the desert and becomes a target for the executioner, notorious Las Vegas crime boss Jimmy Dolan. Dolan’s vast wealth was accumulated through his human trafficking operation, a lucrative business he will not jeopardize. The mobster »

    Superb story. Can't see it being anything but a cheesy movie. Hope I'm wrong.

    I thought the movie was very good. My husband and I watched it last night (Tues). He knows I LOVE Stephen King books/movies and had it waiting for us to watch when we got home from work!

    I must admit, i cannot find where the short story came from, can anyone help me out?

    i have seen the movie (its the 1st time EVER i have seen the film BEFORE reading the BOOK) and at the moment I am in two minds about it, probably because I have not read the shot story.

    I bought it friday and watched it that same night...I enjoyed it but i can't compare it to the short story since i haven't read it (yet).
    It was filmed where i live, IN Regina Saskatchewan...
    I couldn't help but laugh when i realized, the hotel (Montressor) Jimmy Dolan always stays at is the Sask power building...now i can't wait to go pay my power bill haha.

    Hi,

    Yes, it's in Nightmares and Dresamscapes.

    IMO it's a good movie, but a GREAT short story!

    Long days and pleasant nights

    My review for an upcoming issue of Cemetery Dance is pretty scathing. I thought it was dreadful. Wes Bentley is flat and uninteresting and provides one of the deadest voice overs I've ever seen. Slater is manic and trying too hard to be Jack Nicholson, and I thought it was a bad choice to use lines from The Stand describing Randall Flagg to describe Dolan. The only bright spot in the movie is the wife, and she's not in it nearly enough. The plot relies too much on coincidence (Bentley's character gets assigned the two jobs on the road crew that he needs to set his trap. Dolan has to make the same trip he always makes in the middle of a holiday weekend. Etc.).
