Johannes Roberts is set to helm coming-of-age drama “Hearts”, an adaptation of Stephen King’s novella “Hearts in Atlantis”.
Set in 1966, the story centers on a group of poor freshmen, surviving off scholarships and aid packages, who become obsessed with the highly addictive – and highly vindictive – card game Hearts and find their world starts to slowly unravel. Their grades begin to fall, and one by one they flunk out at a time when life outside college meant the draft and the jungles of Vietnam. (via Variety).
Roberts adapted the story with his regular writing partner, Ernest Riera.
The Fyzz Facility’s James Harris will produce with Mark Lane, Robert Jones and Wayne Marc Godfrey.
