(TV/Film)Various Stephen King projects in the pipeline

[metallicorphan]

well,i have no word on whether The Dark Tower has resumed planning or what the hell is going on with that(last i heard CK posted that it was dead-Ron Howard still seems confident it will happen and hopefully with Javier Bardem),however there are a few other Stephen King books in the pipeline for TV/Film

The Stand

David Yates,the director of the last 4 Harry Potter films has gone on record to say that this will be his next project,according to IMDb set for release next year...yeah,we'll see,i am not even sure there is a cast yet,and there is a rumour that it could be 3 movies

FWIW-i didn't mind the minis series,and have it on DVD


next up is 11/22/63,which is yet to be released novel from Stephen King,Jonathan Demme,the director of Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia has signed up for this,where a School Teacher travels back in time determined to stop JFK being assassinated


and finally Steven Spielberg(probably producing) is on board for a TV project based on Under The Dome IMDb this time has 2011,again i can't see that happening this year either

and here is an idea Steve(Spielberg),you bought the rights for The Talisman pretty much as soon as the book was released back in about 1984,and it has been put down for pretty much every year this century to be released...either do it or don't,don't leave it hanging!!

Under the Dome is going to be on Showtime, but since I titled the book 'Stupid People Under the Dome' I won't lose much sleep over not subscribing to see it.  not sure why they feel the need to do The Stand again-  the TV miniseries was decent enough.  11'22'63 sounds pretty interesting though, although I'm guessing the twist at the end is that the teacher ends up being the shooter

And Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are still trying to set 'The Dark Tower' movies elsewhere.

yeah, Under the Dome was pretty underwhelming. It was like Steve watched The Simpsons movies and said "hey, I wonder what what really happen?"

I'd like to see another version of The Stand, that would be cool.

I liked miniseries of The Stand that was done years ago, but I wouldnt mind seeing it get a major production, big budget 3 movie treatment.  Of course since The Stand has already been done Id even be happier if they did a big budget verison of Swan Song by Mc Cammon.  

 I havent read the other 2 though 11'22'63 is on my list.  Under the Dome has slipped past me as a few people I know found it to be pretty weak.

Couldn't even finish Under the Dome. Too many unbelievable and dumb characters.

I wish they would give Cell a shot at a film or mini-series. First half of the book was fantastic. Just need to rejigger the second half.

I always wanted to see a live action Simpsons movie.

After the opening promise, I started to hate that book.  I kept reading hoping it would get better, but it just got worse and worse.  Dumped it about 2/3rds of the way through.

Spoiler for end of book:

most of them get killed in a fiery inferno.
