In some fantastic news, an adaptation of Stephen King and Joe Hill’s Throttle is on the way.

Via Deadline, HBO Max is in the early stages of adapting the 2009 tale as a feature film. Raising Dion’s Leigh Dana Jackson is penning the picture’s screenplay.

For those not aware of the legendary father and son pairing’s Throttle, the official blurb reads:

Throttle follows a father and son led biker gang who get terrorised by a big truck on an isolated stretch of the American desert.

And in case you were wondering, yes, Throttle was indeed inspired by Richard Matheson’s Duel. In fact, Throttle was released as part of a tribute to Matheson.

Expect more on HBO Max’s Throttle as it continues to develop.
