A new Dutch film adaptation of Stephen King's work is a reality. Director Jan van Gorkum (27, from Loon op Zand) bought the rights to the short story Rest Stop a year ago for the symbolic sum of 1 Dollar, and the short film Tussenstop is now the end result. The film is a so-called Dollar Baby, a well-known initiative by Stephen King, through which he offers aspiring filmmakers the opportunity to adapt his short stories.

Stopover is about a man who makes a stop at a restroom along a highway during a nighttime drive. There, he witnesses a violent argument. The man hesitates about whether or not to intervene, while the argument spirals increasingly out of control.

The main roles are played by Yorick Zwart, Ellik Bargai, and Guus Boswijk.

The film will premiere to the public at the Netherlands Film Festival in September and has been selected for the Debut Competition at the festival.
