Story Of Throttle
The story of Throttle has been inspired by Richard Matheson’s classic book Duel. The book pits a faceless truck driver against a tribe of motorcycle outlaws in the desert of Nevada. The motorcycle gang is led by a father-son duo. The battle between the truck driver and the motorcycle gang is fought on twenty miles of the most lonely road in the country. It is a place where slowing down can be very dangerous.
The Father-Son Duo
The father-son duo, Stephen King and Joe Hill are no strangers to their books being adapted as movies and television series. HBO has already adapted a lot of books written by Stephen King. They have adapted The Outsider, It, and Doctor Sleep. They have recently announced the adaptation of Revival.
Joe Hill’s graphic novel Locke And Key along with artist Gabriel Rodríguez was recently adapted into a series by Netflix.
