It’s taken more than a decade to get its motor running, but “Dolan’s Cadillac” has finally hit the streets of Las Vegas.

The big-screen Stephen King adaptation — about a teacher (Wes Bentley) obsessed with avenging his wife’s murder at the hands of the title mobster (Christian Slater) — is scheduled to wrap a three-day shoot Tuesday at locations ranging from the Strip to the Fremont Street Experience to the desert.

The tale (featured in King’s 1993 “Nightmares and Dreamscapes”) takes place in Las Vegas, but most of the shoot took place far north of Glitter City, in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.

Given the project’s history, it’s amazing the shoot took place anywhere; Kevin Bacon, Sylvester Stallone, Gabriel Byrne, Dennis Hopper, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Val Kilmer are just some of the names rumored to be involved in “Dolan’s Cadillac” during the past decade.

There was a long history to this project, a lot of actors wanted to play his part Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dennis Hopper and none of them for one reason or another could do it.
