Director Tod “Kip” Williams’ (Paranormal Activity 2) big screen adaptation of Stephen King’s Cell now has a distributor in the US and Europe, and the news has been accompanied by the movie’s first official image.

John Cusack (Hot Tub Time Machine) and Samuel L. Jackson (Kingsman: The Secret Service) star in the project which feels like it has been in development for forever, and while Cell doesn’t have a confirmed release date as of yet, it has finally been confirmed that it will reach the US at least later this year.

The movie also stars Isabelle Fuhrman (The Hunger Games) and Stacy Keach (The Bourne Legacy).

A synopsis has also been released, and it sounds like it will stick closely to Stephen King’s novel. “When a powerful signal is broadcast across mobile networks worldwide, cell phone users’ minds are instantly and dangerously re-programmed. Heading north through New England in search of his wife and son, Clay Riddell is joined by a group of survivors hoping to fend off the bloodthirsty and hyper-connected ‘phoners.'”

King actually wrote the screenplay for Cell, while revisions were later performed by Adam Alleca (Last House on the Left) and Mark Leyner  (War Inc.). Richard Saperstein (The Mist) is serving as a producer on the movie.

Joining him are Michael Benaroya (Lawless), Brian Witten (Friday the 13th) and Shara Kay (Silent Night).
