Christian Slater (Alone in the Dark), Emmanuelle Vaugier (Saw II, Saw IV, Far Cry), Wes Bentley (P2) and Simon Chin have all been cast in Erik Canuel's Dolan's Cadillac, which is adapted from a Stephen King story, according to the IMDB. IN addition, we discovered the FULL synopsis for the film that can be found by reading on.

From Film Bridge International:

Based on one of Stephen King’s most suspenseful short stories, Dolan’s Cadillac is a suspense thriller in the vein of The Dead Zone, and The Secret Window.

Tom Robinson is a peaceful, law-abiding schoolteacher. When his bride Elizabeth accidentally witnesses a murder, he finds himself on a road straight to hell. The killer is James Dolan, Las Vegas’ most ruthless and untouchable mob boss. Elizabeth agrees to testify against him and soon we find out just why Dolan has remained untouched… Anyone who dares to go up against him faces deadly consequences. In Elizabeth’s case, a bomb strapped to the bottom of a car.

Devastated by her death, Robinson tries all the legal channels at his disposal to bring Dolan to justice. But without hard evidence, Dolan remains free, able to run his empire seemingly untouchable. Frustrated and alone, Robinson begins to receive visits from his dead wife urging him to seek revenge. Is Elizabeth really reaching beyond the grave or has he begun his slow decent into insanity? Robinson continues to hear the voices and is driven to construct his own plan -- an elaborate and dangerous one-in-a-million shot.

Joining a dangerous road construction crew of ex-convicts, he battles the heat and dangers of the Nevada desert working by day, and at night he tries to infiltrate Dolan’s underworld. Haunted by the ghost of wife, Robinson transforms himself into an obsessed vengeance machine, pushing himself beyond the breaking point of mind, body and spirit.

When the two men finally meet deep in the heart of the desert, Dolan’s Cadillac climaxes with an amazing test of wills - the ultimate duel in the sun. The Cadillac, which has been Dolan’s armor, may just as easily become his tomb.

This is Vengeance, Stephen King Style.

	MetalMachine489 8:17pm, May 30, 2008 The story was fantastic, but I gotta say, I'm a bit leery of Slater being cast in this. Did any of you actually see that piece of shit movie Alone In The Dark? Horrid.
	bangor09 8:25pm, May 30, 2008 I loved the short story and always wanted to see it in the big screen, let's hope they pull it off...
	REChrisRedfield 1:57pm, June 1, 2008 oooo I like the way this sounds! And I like the cast too! :D
	Beautiful_psycho 7:07pm, June 22, 2008 The movie is looking pretty good so far. I'm dead in the back of a truck in it aka an extra. There's still some shooting left to do but yeah from what I've seen and been in it's looking great. I can't wait till it's all done. Christian Slater has been awesome and in the movie they put Dolan as a human trafficking lord i guess is how you put it, but he's doing really well and it's coming along great.
