Life imitating art imitating life

Back in the early 90s Stephen King released a collection of novellas titled Four Past Midnight. One of the stories is titled Secret Window, Secret Garden, and it's about a writer who is confronted by someone who claims that he plagiarized one of his stories and got famous off it.

Now, there's an upcoming movie starring Johnny Depp, called Secret Window, and it appears to be about a writer who is confronted by someone who claims he plagiarized one of his stories...

The weird thing is, Stephen King's name is nowhere on the commercials for the film. In fact, it says that the movie is "from the writer of Panic Room."

So...um...did this person plagiarize Stephen King's story or what?
