LOS ANGELES—Anticipating the project could be the biggest horror hit of the decade, film studios were reportedly locked in a bidding war Friday over a napkin Stephen King had written the word “Ghoul” on. “It only took him two weeks to write, but it’s incredible—it’s an entire fleshed-out world,” said an insider source, who confirmed that Warner Bros., Sony, Lionsgate, and Amazon MGM were among the major studios
“practically salivating” at the chance to produce an adaptation of the two-ply disposable paper napkin the bestselling author had scribbled on. “It could easily go for upwards of seven figures. After all, this is the type of story with billion-dollar franchise potential. Netflix is desperate to secure it, but King’s team believes the napkin deserves a theatrical release. All I know is I’d love to see Glen Powell as the ghoul.” At press time, Jordan Peele was reportedly “fuming” after Monkeypaw Productions lost the bidding war to New Line Cinema.
