JJ Abrams' Bad Robot and Warner Bros are set to collaborate to adapt Stephen King's novel Billy Summers into a feature film.

Written by Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz, the project will also be backed by Leonardo Di Caprio’s Appian Way. It is to be noted that earlier Billy Summers was scheduled to be adapated as a limited series of ten episodes. However later, the decision changed to make feature film.

Billy Summers revolves around a former Marine sniper who turned into a hitman with a moral ground that he will gun down only "bad people". Before his retirement, he takes one last assignment that comes with a lifetime settlement. But what happens when he senses something wrong with his last job, forms the crux of the novel.

It is to be noted that Bad Robot has earlier adapted Stephen King's Lisey's Story into a psychological horror miniseries in 2021.
