Intrinsic Value Films has announced two projects on the way which they are selling at the American Film Market.
One is “Mister Yummy,” a film adaptation of the short story by Stephen King. The haunting tale follows a man confronting mortality, where death waits around every corner, and regret becomes the ghost that never leaves.
The screenplay was penned by Troy Blake, while Thomas Mahoney will produce. Three King adaptations – “The Monkey,” “The Life of Chuck” and “The Long Walk” – all hit cinemas this year.
The other project is the Gene Wilder biopic “Gene” which boasts a script by Jeremy Roth.
The story deals with the remarkable life and inner world of beloved comedy actor Gene Wilder, star of such films as “Blazing Saddles,” “Young Frankenstein” and “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.”
The film traces the relationships that shaped his career and his lifelong search for happiness.
The company is also planning a film about toy manufacturer Wham-O who created the Frisbee, Hula Hoop, Slip ’N Slide, and Hacky Sack.
