Gary Dauberman’s production company, Coin Operated, is developing the on-screen adaptation of the horror novella titled "Rest Stop". The novella is written by Nat Cassidy. The author himself is attached to adapt the screenplay, while Dauberman and Mia Maniscalco will produce under the Coin Operated banner.
The story centers on a young musician trapped overnight inside a gas station bathroom by a mysterious unseen attacker. As terror mounts outside the locked door, something equally horrifying begins to emerge from within the confined space itself.
Rest Stop appears in Cassidy’s short story collection, I Know A Place: Rest Stop and Other Dark Detours, released May 5 through Shortwave Publishing and Simon & Schuster.
Here is a statement from author Nat Cassidy about the film project:
“I like to describe this novella as ‘Green Room meets Gerald’s Game. It’s the closest thing I’ve yet written to ‘extreme’ horror — though, I wouldn’t say it goes nearly as hard or gets nearly as bleak as the most extreme ‘extreme’ horror stories I’ve read. Regardless, I’m hoping it makes your next visit to a gas station bathroom even scarier than it would otherwise be.”
Here is producer Gary Dauberman's statement about the film project:
“Like the junk food aisle at any sketchy gas station on the side of the road, Rest Stop has a little bit of everything (that may or may not kill you). Its relentless pace, psychological torment, heartfelt character moments, and many squirm-inducing sequences make it the rare horror story that has all the ingredients for a perfectly terrifying experience on the big screen.”
