Stephen King's "Autopsy Room Four" Film Adaptation in Development 

Stephen King short story "Autopsy Room Four", about a man trapped in an autopsy room, is being made into a feature film, with British director Ranjeet S. Marwa and veteran Hollywood exec Jon Levin, the former CAA agent turned producer and manager whose exec producer credits include Netflix’s King adaptation In The Tall Grass.

Horror maestro King has given the greenlight for the adaptation, which is to be written and directed by Marwa, who has been prolific in low-budget U.S. and UK genre fare to date. It is currently in development.

"Autopsy Room Four" delves into the mind of a man who, after a life-threatening accident, wakes up to find himself trapped in an autopsy room. As he confronts his own mortality, the story navigates themes of fear, survival, and the unknown.

The story was first published in King’s limited-edition collection Six Stories in 1997 and appeared in the anthology Robert Bloch’s "Psychos" later in the same year.

In 2002, it was collected in King’s collection "Everything’s Eventual". It was adapted into a short film in 2003 and was part of TNT’s "Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From The Stories Of Stephen King" in the summer of 2006.
