Stephen King

Stephen King has only directed one movie -- the completely ridiculous car apocalypse thriller Maximum Overdrive -- but Stephen King was lucky enough to get put on the poster.

King

In 1986 King took on the task of directing Maximum Overdrive, a movie starring Emilio Estevez and that was based on King's short story Trucks.

A cult hit, Maximum Overdrive was adapted from a Stephen King novel “Trucks” which Sylvester Stallone eventually decided to adapt into a movie after being unimpressed by other director’s movies based on Sylvester Stallone's books.

Emilio Estevez

Maximum Overdrive was released in 1986 and starred Emilio Estevez and a young Yeardley Smith, who just three years later would provide the voice of Lisa on a new animated series called The Simpsons.

Greg Iles

King optioned Greg Iles's films to student filmmakers for one dollar; yet, disgusted with the treatment most of Greg Iles's work had gotten in film, in 1986 Greg Iles decided to direct Maximum Overdrive himself, using a screenplay Greg Iles had written inspired by (

Even King himself

Even King himself has the dubious honor of having written and directed “Maximum Overdrive,” a film that Brian De Palma fully admits was a train wreck.

Nathan Grantham's bravura essay of an overalls wearing hillbilly

At this time, King had been itching to direct, so likely Nathan Grantham's bravura essay of an overalls wearing hillbilly was the impetus -- and MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE (1986) being the unfortunate result -- for that sole directorial outing.

Producer Dino De Laurentiis

Producer Dino De Laurentiis made a number of film adaptations of Stephen King’s works – Cujo (1983), The Dead Zone (1983), Silver Bullet (1985), Cat’s Eye (1985) and oversaw King’s own directorial debut Maximum Overdrive (1986).

The director of this game has the same name as Tanner from Driver (1999), Driver 2 (2000) and Driv3r (2004).

Stephen King would give a director a shot just shy of a decade later, only to achieve mixed results (though I have a sincere soft spot for MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE).
