If there is a book on the name of Steven King, you can bet that Hollywood will do your best to adjust it. Unfortunately, for every desired adaptation of the author's work, there was a strange accident that fans would more forget. One such stain on the record of royal transfers is "Cell", a film starring Johnon Kuzak and Samuel L. Acksexone, who, who, who, According to Rotten Tomates, is the worst adaptation of King's book shelf. Directed by Todd Williams, the film sees a signal spread through mobile devices, turning all users at the time into wild monsters. Universally blown by critics, maybe there was a chance the story would fall off if he stayed at the original director of the film, Eli Roth.

Initially, the first choice to direct the project, Roth expressed great excitement to handle the opening of the book, which showed the leading character to get out of the flight and see the airport gradually descending into chaos as a signal infiltrated in the mind of its travelers. The director of the "hostel" even told /Movie back in 2007 How did it all use it. Unfortunately, the horror that Roth had in his head did not happen, and the line became dead on his version of Cell, replaced by a film that proved to be a daunting watch for many different reasons.

In 2009, Shocktillyoudrop Got an update from Roth about his version of the film, which never happened. "I went quietly from the quiet" cell ", he admitted. "There was only one kind of difference in thinking about how to make the film and what the story should be and there is a different direction the studio wants to go with it." The creative disagreement was mild, leading to Epiphany for Roth and his own direction to move forward. "I said:" I'm not really interested in making the film this way. You guys go ahead and make my own movies. " I have also learned that I am really interested only to direct the original stories I write, that's another thing I learned in the whole process. "

It really won't be said whether the "cell" stayed on the roster for Eli Roth, would be better or worse than the film we ended up. As far as taking over Williams' film was torn into pieces, it is worth noting that the original choice for directing has had some big misses over the years, too. The director of the Hostel returned his groove with a horror focused on the holiday, "Thanksgiving", but this was quickly followed by video game adaptation "Border Territories", which became the largest boxing bomb since 2024. Maybe if Roth collected the "cell", we might have had a hit on his hands. Perhaps, however, there are only some Steven King stories that should never leave the page to start.
