Stephen King novel Gerald's Game is to be adapted into a film.
Mike Flanagan has signed on to helm the project based on King's 1992 thriller, reports Deadline.
Gerald's Game centres around a woman who accidentally kills her husband during a bondage session. Handcuffed to the bed with no apparent hope of escape, she is left to confront her inner demons.
Flanagan developed the script with writing partner Jeff Howard.
His most recent project was the Karen Gillan and Katee Sackhoff-starring Oculus, which will arrive in the UK on June 13.
King's The Stand, Bad Little Kid and The Ten O'Clock People are also in development.
Gerald's Game is casting and scheduled to film in the autumn.
