Stephen King's son secures film deal

StephenKing.jpgStephen King's song is set to publish his first novel and has already secured a film deal for it as well, how sly is that? Joe Hill is his name, and the novel is called Heart Shaped Box.

Empire carries the story:

Hill, however, has pulled off the impressive task of selling the screen rights to his thriller novel Heart Shaped Box to Warners without once revealing who his famous father is.

The plot sees a singer fascinated by the occult purchasing a ghost on eBay. Taking the form of a man’s burial suit, the spirit eventually forces the singer to confront both it and his own demons.

That's pretty impressive not using King's name, especially since he hasn't even written the novel yet. I wonder if he'll follow some of the tired conventions of King, or will this truly be his own work?
