		<description><![CDATA[This week saw the death-knell of J.J. Abrams' ambitious plan to adapt Stephen King's incredible sci-fi/horror/western/fantasy series The Dark Tower into seven feature films, which left a lot of die-hard King fans (including me), a little broken-hearted.

So sadly no movie, not yet. But, quite unbelievably, in the same week this news hit, Stephen King told a rapid-fire Q &#38; A in a Walmart in Dundalk, Maryland two days ago that a new Dark Tower book might just be on it's way, something I honestly thought I would never hear!

Breathe!

Read that sentence again, and relax. It's all true! I found the news at AICN and it's taken me a while to recover...
Roland's quest for The Dark Tower isn't over?
A moderator at the Stephen King message boards was quick to follow up from the Q &#38; A with this blurb...
Stephen has given me permission to pass along that he has an idea for a new Dark Tower book, the working title of which will be THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE. He has not yet started this book and anticipates that it will be a minimum of eight months before he is able to begin writing it.
Wow, that's pretty solid info then. Sounds ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The best idea I heard for adapting Stephen King's 1,000 plus novel IT, was splitting the duel storyline into two separate movies. The first set in the 1980s and focusing on the kids trouble with Pennywise the evil clown, then a few years later releasing a sequel which deals with the modern day psychological horror with those kids now as adults. 

The first one would be more of a straight out horror film, the second more psychological thriller-esque and with tons of depth. This would also allow the studio to easily make two movies (more profit if made right) and wouldn't piss of the King fans who want to see everything from the novel make it to the screen. 



Otherwise I just can't see how else King's epic novel could work on film without being butchered completely. They couldn't manage it with three hours of t.v. time where the adult part of the novel is a little lightweight, so as a 2 hour studio release, it would take a brave writer to take a crack at it.

Speaking to Dread Central, screenwriter Dave Kajganich (The Invasion) said Warner Bros. are adamant about going the one movie route, but it won't stop him at least ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've never met anyone who ever found clowns funny. Their hideous big grin and fake belly laugh, their look of knowing something that your not privy to and of masking an evil within, well it's enough to send a shiver down your spine. 

Tim Curry's was always the worst. In fact in some circles, coulrophobia (the scientific name for a fear of clowns) was partly coined because of his memorable performance in the 1990 made for t.v. movie IT...



After The Joker made Warner Bros. a $1 billion at the box office, the studio have looked into their vault and resurrected plans to make a live action movie out of Stephen King's best selling 1986 novel IT, about a murderous clown, bumping it's setting to the modern day.

Dave Kajganich, writer of THE INVASION is adapting what is a 1,000 plus novel, a huge task, especially if he wishes to remain faithful to the source material as the mini-series which ran for over 3 hours, left quite a bit out. 

Kajganich had been writing a remake of King's PET SEMETARY, so either he is done with that script or he got bored and put his focus on another of King's classics. He is also scripting a remake of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Absolutely adore this.

It's an original poster from Methane Studios designed to promote the upcoming Alamo Drafthouse screening of the classic Brian De Palma movie CARRIE based off the even more famous Stephen King novel.

You might wonder why I'm posting this because it's advertising a screening I'm sure less than 1% of our audience could even physically attend; but it just goes to show that their are some creative people still working in this department of the industry and isn't it amazing what can be done when you don't have to worry about studio pressure to make something that they deem to be marketable.



You can buy the poster at MONDO TEES for $30.

They also have posters for ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and THE GODFATHER which totally rule and can also be purchased HERE.







Thanks to /film for the heads-up. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof has told AMC that he envisages the epic Stephen King fantasy novels The Dark Tower as a Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings esque franchise and the only way they should be adapted on screen is into an epic film series, one film per book.

As there are seven books in the series, that would result in seven movies... an unprecedented amount but as we've said when it works, they can earn up to a $1 billion each.


Lindelof says...
“The Dark Tower is to me every bit as daunting an adaptation as the Lord of the Rings trilogy must have been for Peter Jackson, except we’ve got seven books we’re looking at. And the idea of doing that at the same time Carlton and I are bringing Lost to a close is simply not viable. There are always Dark Tower conversations, but the figuring out of what this will look like as a movie has not begun. If The Dark Tower were in the right hands, I would love to see seven movies executed just right. But you have to get people to see the first one to get them to come and see the second one.”
This echoes similar ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Canadian director Mathieu Ratthe has no credits listing on IMDB but amazingly, he has managed to pull off something that Steven Spielberg has tried but failed (though, one thinks haphazardly) and that's shoot at least some material from the brilliant Stephen King/Peter Straub 198 fantasy novel THE TALISMAN.

In hoping to garner some attention to maybe strike a deal with Dreamworks, Ratthe took it upon himself to convince actor Cameron Bright, the memorable face of Godsend and also has X-Men and Birth to his name to appear in a short six minute clip (2 of which are credits) showing what Ratthe could do with very limited resources and prove to someone that this material is worth making, and that he is the man for the job.

Previously Spielberg had hired both Vadmin Perelman (House of Sand &#38; Fog) and Ed Zwick (The Last Samuari) at various points to direct it as a feature and most recently two years ago when Ehren Kruger (Scream) was hired as a screenwriter to adapt the novel into a TNT mini-series but budgetery concerns killed that one.

Ratthe says,
“My main objective for creating this piece is to demonstrate my directing ability and my vision to the producers who ...]]></description>

Looks like I was totally out of it during those November/December months. It would appear THE MIST didn't get a release at all over here in Britain and is finally but ever so quietly, only receiving a short run in U.K. cinema's beginning this Friday. My local multiplex is only showing the film at 8pm every night next week and then that would appear to be it.

The movie deserves better. So much better. Here is my original view of one of the best American produced horror flicks in years!
Shame on me. Shame, shame, shame on me.

I have a feeling I'm going to regret missing this movie in the theatre and I can't really explain why I did. Sure, things were busy for me in the last two months of 2007 but I could have really made the journey if I wanted to. I guess I was just a little scared when the reviews came back only so-so - more negative than positive. And after I hated 1408, I didn't think I could bare watching another King novel turned into a sour movie and with good acting talent no less.

The hardly mind blowing special effects from the trailer also took me ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stephen King's short story Dolan's Cadillac has been picked up by the small Indie outfit Film Bridge International.

Wes Bentley will star as a guy who vows to avenge the death of his wife by the notorious and untouchable Las Vegas mob boss Jimmy Dolan.

Emmanuelle Vaugier (she was Adison in the last two Saw movies) will play the unfortunate wife. Christian Slater is the mob boss.

Erik Canuel (helmed some episodes of The Dead Zone, based on the King novel) will direct from a Richard Dooling (Critical Care) screenplay says The Hollywood Reporter.

2007 saw two King novels adapted for screen, one was pretty terrible but everyone seemed to like (1408), the other was absolutely awesome but most critics panned it (The Mist).

Although there have been an awful lot of studio deals for King novels in the last two years, it's only his novel From a Buick 8 which is to be directed by veteran Tobe Hooper which actually looks close to be filming soon. Others like Cell, The Long Walk, The Dark Tower and Bag of Bones have been talked about but so far not yet fully put into development. ]]></description>
