GOLDEN GLOBE(R) NOMINEE MARIA BELLO, ACADEMY AWARD(R) WINNER OLYMPIA DUKAKIS AND GRAMMY(R) NOMINEE JOAN JETT STAR IN "BIG DRIVER"

Original Movie Based on Short Story by Stephen King

PREMIERES OCTOBER 18 ON LIFETIME(R)

The Lifetime Original Movie, Big Driver, (#BigDriver) premiering on Saturday, October 18 at 8pm ET/PT, is based on a short story written by best-selling author Stephen King and marks the first collaboration between Lifetime and King. This dark story of a young novelist hell-bent on revenge after falling victim to a brutal crime stars Golden Globe nominee Maria Bello (A History of Violence, McFarland), Academy Award winner Olympia Dukakis (Sex & Violence, Steel Magnolias), Grammy nominee Joan Jett, film and television veteran Ann Dowd (The Leftovers, Masters of Sex) and Will Harris (NCIS, Sky High).

In Big Driver, Tess Thorne (Bello), a famous and revered mystery and thriller writer, faces a long drive home following a book-signing engagement. But while driving on a lonely stretch of New England road, her tire blows out, leaving her stranded. Relieved when another driver stops and offers assistance, Tess quickly discovers her savior is actually her assailant, a serial killer who repeatedly assaults her. Left for dead in a drainage pipe to rot with the bodies of his other victims, Tess escapes and makes her way safely home. With her fragile mind beginning to unravel, she is determined to find her rapist and seek revenge, as payback is the only thing holding her together.

Best-selling author Stephen King has penned more than 50 novels and hundreds of short stories, many of which have been adapted into feature films, including Frank Darabont's Academy Award-nominated The Shawshank Redemption with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins; the Stanley Kubrick classic, The Shining, with Jack Nicholson; and Stand by Me, directed by Rob Reiner starring River Phoenix, Kiefer Sutherland, Jerry O'Connell, Corey Feldman and Wil Wheaton. Other works based on his stories include the television series Under the Dome, as well as numerous top-selling comic books, including The Stand and The Dark Tower series. His novels have sold more than 350 million copies worldwide and have received a multitude of awards, including The Bram Stoker Award, Los Angeles Times Book Prize, National Book Award, National Magazine Award and World Fantasy Award.

Produced by Ostar Productions, Big Driver is executive produced by Bill Haber (The Trip to Bountiful) and Jeffrey Hayes (A Day Late and A Dollar Short). The screenplay adaptation was written by Richard Christian Matheson (Masters of Horror, Happy Face Killer) and is directed by Mikael Salomon (Drew Peterson: Untouchable). A+E Networks handles international sales for Big Driver.
