J.D. Barker’s A Caller’s Game Heading to the Big Screen

Big news for J.D. Barker fans! Screenwriter Jenna Mattison has been tapped to adapt Barker’s bestselling thriller A Caller’s Game as a feature film, as reported by Deadline.

Billed as Die Hard meets Talk Radio, the film centers on Jordan Briggs — a controversial satellite radio talk show host whose live broadcast is hijacked by a mysterious caller with a deadly game in mind. What begins as a ratings stunt quickly turns dangerous as secrets long buried come to the surface.

Barker will produce alongside Joel Gotler of Intellectual Property Group and Greg Pedicin of Untitled. Mattison and Barker previously collaborated on The Gimble Files, a TV series in development at UCP.

Congratulations, J.D.!
