Stephen King's THINNER screenplay by Michael McDowell

Original screenplay by Michael McDowell (1950-1999) adapting Stephen King's novel THINNER (published under the name Richard Bachman, 1984) for Laurel Entertainment. After years in development hell this script was used as the basis, with extensive revisions by director Tom Holland, for the 1996 film of the same name. Notable differences include McDowell's more expansive perspective on women characters, the Romani family central to the plot, and the story's subtext of the AIDS epidemic.
