Stephen King‘s works have spawned dozens of movies that range from genre-defining classics to cinematic abominations, but the author has only directed one film: Maximum Overdrive.

Based on King’s short story “Trucks” fromNight Shift, the notorious film was maligned upon its release in 1986 but has since earned a cult following.

Emilio Estevez, who starred in the film as ex-convict turned short-order cook Bill Robinson, recently revealed on theHappy Sad Confused podcast that he recently wrote and pitched a sequel!

“With the advent of more computer technology and AI and all of that, I started to imagine what a sequel toMaximum Overdrive would look like. And during the [2023 SAG-AFTRA] strike, I wrote one,” the actor divulged, admitting that he does not have the rights to the material.

“I started page 1, I started an idea, now on I’m on page 10, I’m on page 20, now it’s 50 pages, and I can’t stop. Dino De Laurentiis owns the rights toMaximum Overdrive. I created an insane world.”

Estevez would reprise his role as Bill. “He’s got his own diner, he’s got a young daughter, and he’s got his crew, his people. AndGuy Fieri is coming to do ‘Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives’ on the day the world falls apart and machines turn.”

Unfortunately, it was not meant to be. “It was a cool idea.It’s a bitchin’ script, man. And De Laurentiis was like, ‘Nope. We have the rights to this.We’re not interested. We’re going to pursue our own thing.’ I was like, ‘Okay.'”

InMaximum Overdrive, after a mysterious comet turns every machine on Earth into a homicidal rampage device, the survivors at a North Carolina truck stop make a stand.
