Patrick Wilson , Laysla De Oliveira and Harrison Gilbertson have been roped in for the Netflix adaptation of In the Tall Grass, a novella by Joe Hill and Stephen King.

Image via Twitter @StephenKing[/caption] In the Tall Grass follows the story of a sister and brother duo who try to help a young boy crying on the back roads of Kansas but soon end up in a spooky-soup. Their paranoid journey all throughout has been described as terrifying and entertaining at the same time. Wilson and De Oliveira will feature as the siblings. This horror venture is up against Wilson’s alley as he has already starred in _Insidious_ and _The Conjuring_ . Initially, James Marsden was associated with In the Tall Grass but due to scheduling conflicts, he had to drop out. Patrick Wilson is currently gearing up for _Aquaman_ and Laysla’s new projects include Needle In a Timestack, Code 8, and Picnic at Hanging Rock.
In the Tall Grass will be Netflix’s third adaptation of King’s work, after Gerald’s Game and 1922.
