Stephen King has long been afraid of vehicles and car accidents, which he spoke openly. His fear was certainly inspired for her novel “Christine”, a story on a Chrysler Fury, a sensitive killer of 1958. A young child is dilapidated in “Pet Sematary” and a car wreck sets up the protagonist of “Misery”. There is a killer car in “From a Buick 8” and a ghost car in “Riding the Bullet”. King experienced one of his worst nightmares in 1999 when he was in fact dilapidated by a 1985 and seriously injured Dodge Caravan. He wrote “DreamCatcher” under the influence of the pain relievers after the accident.
In 1973, King also published a news entitled “Trucks”, which took place at a distant truck stop where every half-camides came to life and deliberately started killing people. In 1986, “Trucks” was adapted in the “maximum overdrive” feature film, which included a giant Goblin type truck and with Emilio Estevez. It was King’s first effort as director (and to date, only). There were a lot of heavy metal on the soundtrack.
Despite King’s name all over the project, “Maximum overdrive” was filmed by criticism and was charged at the box office. King was nominated for the worst director of this year’s raid awards and are for the worst actor. With such a terrible reception, it is not surprising that King does not want to direct again. This, despite the maximum “overmulate” becoming something cult in recent years. His initial failure was an aberration in King’s career, whose adaptations of features to this point had all been notable successes.
Estevez has seen worship grow over the years and admits having the feeling that the world could now be ready for a “overdrive maximum” suite. On the happy. Sad. Confused. Podcast, Estevez said that during the 2023 SAG-Aftra strikes, he wrote a script for “maximum overdrive 2”, despite not talking to King, and although he does not have property rights. It was just a project passionate about Gonzo for Estevez, who wrote several of his own films.

Remember that one of the problems surrounding the Sag-Aftra strike in 2023 is that studios threatened to use computerized scanning technology and AI emulators to recreate the performance of actors from zero. The use of such technology would eliminate the need for extras and, in some cases, would lead actors. The members of SAG Striking wanted to ensure that they would not be replaced by machines. These ideas were very in the mind of Estez when he started writing “Maximum overdrive 2.” If the machines were to come to life in 2025 – and bring the same deadly impulses as in 1986 – their attack plan would surely be much more threatening. And crazier, by its estimate. As he said:
“With the advent of more computer technology and AI and all that, I started to imagine what a suite”Overdrive maximum ‘ would look like. And during the strike, I wrote one. […] I started the first page, I started an idea, now on page 10, I’m on page 20, now it’s 50 pages and I can’t stop. Dino de Laurentiis has the rights of ‘Overdrive maximum. I created a crazy world. “”
Estevez continued by saying that the rest would follow his character from the 1986 film, Bill, now a proud owner of a quality Truck Stop Dinner. Guy Fieri would be played in the film and would stop at Bill’s Diner to film an episode of “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives” when the high-tech machine restarts. Estevez considered that his scenario was “b **** in ‘”, and hoped that he could really do it. Unfortunately, Laurentii’s company still had the rights to the original film, and they closed it. Estevez reported that De Laurentiis said: “” No. We are not interested. We will continue our own thing. “I said to myself:” Okay. “”
It is likely that the company always wanted to develop the remake “maximum overdrive” with the director Joe Hill. But time will tell us if this project never arrives on the ground.
