USA Today 5 questions for Stephen King (http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/2007-10-10-stephen-king_N.htm?csp=34)



5. What are you writing? It's called A Very Tight Place. Not a novel but a long story. I've been writing lots of stories lately. I wonder why?

Leonard Lopate interviews Stephen King regarding 2007 Best American Short Stories.

Link (http://www.wnyc.org/shows/lopate/episodes/2007/10/18/segments/87292)


Stephen King on The Best American Short Stories 2007
The Best American Short Stories series is now in its 30th year, so it's fitting that one of America’s most famous writers, Stephen King, has edited the 2007 edition. He joins Leonard to share stories that reflect his own personal touch, plus works from John Barth, T.C. Boyle, William Gay, and others.

Martin Anderson interview with King from 1983. (http://www.denofgeek.com/comics/5950/exclusive_the_lost_stephen_king_interview_part_1.h tml)
Two parts.


In 1983, Martin interviewed Stephen King, an interview never published until now. In part one, King talks fear, cancer, Freud and the Monster In The Closet...




Click here for the second part (http://denofgeek.com/comics/5997/exclusive_the_lost_stephen_king_interview_part_2.h tml) of our exclusive interview, when Stephen King talks about upcoming movie adaptations of his books, and his dispute with Kubrick over the making of The Shining...

Did anyone else see what I assume is a new short documentary about King on the Biography Channel? Nothing very revealing or too interesting, but I DVR everything that's new to me about King. So was it just me or did they show some heretofore unknown fiction by King? It was during a segment talking about his early days selling stories to men's magazines, and the camera panned over several open pages and there were titles I haven't heard about, like "Bone" and one other one. Several others were well-known, like "The Blue Air Compressor". Weird...:orely:

Doesn't look like it's scheduled again. But I wouldn't be able to make a screenshot anyway. But believe me, what I wrote is true. There were some of the older uncollected stories like "Stud City", "The Blue Air Compressor" - and then "Bone". Also what looked like a poem I didn't see before. So, very weird.

That episode was done in 2004 or so, it's a fairly old one, but usually, when they rerun Biography episodes, they usually tack a 30 second or so segment on the end to update the subject's life since the time the documentary was made.

I saw this last night and it was great. The Mist looks great, I'm really jazzed about the seeing it, rated R and everything.

For me though, it was just cool to see King. He looks all healed up and healthy, I seem to have this forever image of him in my mind, after that accident. He was so skinny and pale :(--I was worried we would lose him. So he looks good, that is cool.

The interviewer asked him if it was a "dark place" to be Stephen King, I thought it was idiotic. The man has a vivid imagination but that doesn't mean he also can't vividly experience love or joy along with it...just dumb. <_<

At the end, they asked about what should be his epitaph, Stephen King told him "good husband and father", I like that a lot. I think I have always understood on a very deep level that its not just about the books but about the man himself, he's a really cool dude.

Good stuff.

I like how he brought up the Rage-Running Man comparison, which was unprompted by Tapper.

People scoff at the comparison-since it seems farcical that the Hamburg cell that perpetrated 9/11 would be sitting around reading copies of the Bachman books along with flight instruction manuals and jihadi training booklets-but it's a fair analogy.

If you're going to worry about how some disturbed individual is going to interpret an horrific scenario outlined in a work of fiction, then no controversial literature would ever be written. Maybe we should take Therese Raquin off the shelves because it might give people the inclination to drown their betrothed. And no, I'm not comparing Stephen King favorably to Emile Zola, just trying to illustrate a point.

NB: There aren't really any spoilers, although they do skirt around revealing major plot points. I guess it depends upon what you consider a "spoiler." King disbelieves in the concept altogether, so you have to take that into consideration as well, but there's no "this happens to character x," if that's what you're concerned about.

An even more apt comparison is with Tom Clancy's Debt of Honor (1999). In that one, a disgraced Japanese pilot crashes his (empty, except for him and the body of his co-pilot) jet liner into the Capitol building during a joint session of Congress.

You're welcome.

I've never read the Tom Clancy novel you mentioned, but it's an interesting analogy.

The only Clancy work I'm familiar with is Sum of all Fears, where the Hollywood writers changed the script entirely-and created an absurd plot-line-due to pressure from CAIR and Islamist groups over here.

I did have a friend in high school, originally from Israel, who was a big Clancy fan.

Yes they do. They discuss the tone of the ending of The Mist being different from the novella.

Brief excerpt:


Welcome to the first part of a three part interview I did over the phone with Stephen King last week. Once again he was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule to talk to me and for that I’m very grateful.

This time we talked for about 30 minutes and covered things like the new book he is working on, the upcoming collection Just Past Sunset and a script he has written for The Gingerbread Girl.

We also talked about Duma Key, The Dark Tower comic, his collaboration with John Mellencamp, The Mist and The Talisman 3.

This part will be followed by two more and I really hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did doing them. It was pure pleasure talking to Stephen King.

Enjoy! / Lilja

mae
02-20-2008, 07:18 AM
A very long book akin to The Stand or It is very welcome, but Duma Key wasn't a chapbook either. So I'm very glad for Stephen and his prolific output year after year, with no signs of slowing down. We now have two books in 2008, and perhaps this Stand/It book will come out in 2009, and, knowing King, perhaps another little surprise in between. Has there ever been a year with no book by Stephen King since 1974? Let's see... Only three: 1976, 1988, 2000. If you count non-fiction, then 1988 and 2000 are out. What did King do in 1976, take a sabbatical? :)

Randall Flagg
02-20-2008, 07:33 AM
I think 1976 had to do with the fact King was just emerging on the publishing world. 'Salem's Lot was released in very late 1975, and The Shining was released in very early 1976. There actually was a greater gap in publication between Carrie and 'Salem's Lot (~81 weeks) than between 'Salem's Lot and The Shining (~64 weeks).
The Limited edition of My Pretty Pony was published in 1988, and On Writing was published in 2000.

Bev Vincent
02-20-2008, 07:52 AM
King did go on a much-advertised hiatus in 1988/89. He had just published four books in a very short period of time and then hung out the "gone fishing" sign for a while to recharge his batteries.

In retrospect, the timing corresponds to the family intervention.

mae
02-20-2008, 07:53 AM
For 1988 I was counting Nightmares in the Sky, actually.

Mellencamp, Stephen King will debut scary musical at Alliance

The king of goosebumps and a soon-to-be Rock and Roll Hall of Famer are creating a new musical that will debut at the Alliance Theatre.

Mystery writer Stephen King and Grammy Award-winning pop-music legend John Mellencamp, both newcomers to theater, will unveil the world premiere of "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County" in April and May of next year, the Alliance has announced.


"It is John Mellencamp's musical style and it's Stephen King's gothic style, and I just thought it was too cool to pass up," Alliance artistic director Susan V. Booth says.

Set in 1957, "Ghost Brothers" centers on a simmering 40-year-old legend about the strange deaths of two brothers and a beautiful young girl in the fictional town of Lake Belle Reve, Miss.

Booth says it's too soon to say if the show will transfer to Broadway but that commercial producers will be charting the musical's progress. In a recent Rolling Stone interview, Mellencamp said, "If it goes well in Atlanta, then we'll come to Broadway. If it don't go well in Atlanta, we're done."

Mellencamp, who has been working on the piece for eight years, is to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 10.

Booth said the idea for "Ghost Brothers" came from a story Mellencamp heard as a youth in his hometown of Seymour, Ind. When the writer of hits "Jack and Diane" and "Hurts So Good" decided to turn the material into a musical, he realized he needed a book writer.

At that point, Booth says, Mellencamp thought: "Wait, it's a ghost story. Who's the best ghost story writer there is? So his people talked to Stephen King's people, and now they are buddies and they have written this musical together."

Booth describes the show as "a theatrical piece with music." There will be a live band onstage, and New York director Peter Askin will direct. Askin's credits include Eve Ensler's "The Good Body" and John Leguizamo's "Sexaholix" on Broadway and John Cameron Mitchell's "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" off-Broadway.

"John and Stephen have the kinds of names and reputations that are going to attract people's curiosity," Askin says, "and the fact that they have not worked in theater before is an interesting thing."

He describes the musical style as zydeco. "It's Southern and it's kind of country."

"Ghost Brothers" will join an impressive list of new musicals to play the Alliance since Booth arrived in 2001. "The Color Purple," "Sister Act: The Musical" and "The Women of Brewster Place" have all helped put the Alliance on the national map. Last year, the Alliance won the regional Tony Award for sustained excellence.

The Alliance is expected to announce the rest of its 2008-2009 season this week.

King Talking about The Dark Tower and Marvel for NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/player/mediaPlayer.html?action=1&t=1&islist=false&id=88144942&m=88144934)

Legendary author Stephen King will give a live interview to discuss the state of comics tied to the release of Marvel Comics’ Dark Tower: The Long Road Home, the second story arc in his ground-breaking epic series Dark Tower on NPR’s esteemed program Talk of The Nation this Wednesday, March 12th from 2:30-3:00 PM EST.

“Marvel Publishing is grateful to Stephen for taking the time out of his busy schedule to talk about The Dark Tower comic series and comic books as a whole,” says Ruwan Jayatilleke, Marvel Entertainment Vice President of Development. “We’re excited that this will offer a chance to introduce this phenomenal epic---and medium of entertainment--- to NPR’s listeners as well as reward loyal Dark Tower fans with some highly entertaining radio!”

The second installment of the best-selling, critically acclaimed comic book series hit stores on March 5th with the continuing saga of the last Gunslinger in Dark Tower: The Long Road Home. The series reunites the all-star creative team of Dark Tower expert Robin Furth, The New York Times best-selling author Peter David, Eisner Award-winning artist Jae Lee and fan favorite illustrator Richard Isanove, who turned the first series Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born into the comic book event of 2007 -- making it one of the year’s top selling series.

Exploring a chapter in Roland's life that is only hinted at in the novels, Dark Tower: The Long Road Home is the must-have that no comic book or Dark Tower fan can miss, and no fan of comics can afford to miss King’s live interview on NPR!

I did have some issues with my connection

terrific, and your right Matt, it was fun to
hear him talk about Roland.:clap:

Randall Flagg
03-12-2008, 06:50 PM
Perhaps I am daft, but I was suprised to hear Roland's last name (Deschain) pronounced as Des-(chain-as in metal links welded together) Chain.
I always thought it was a soft 'CH' as in Des-Shane.

Daghain
03-12-2008, 07:33 PM
Me too! That was weird. I thought it was De-shane.

And we get the definitive pronunciation for Alain as well - Al-ane.

Ruthful

I've always thought it was pronounced that way. I was much more surprised when I learned how Cuthbert was pronounced a few years ago. Great interview though.

Wuducynn
03-13-2008, 05:13 AM
Funny thing is, I'm sure I've heard King pronounce it "De-shane" in the past, so maybe he's decided "dez-chain" works better for him. Anyway, fun interview, I wish it was longer, like two hours! :D

It's rather interesting to hear how much this guy mispronounces the names in the books.

jayson
03-13-2008, 05:44 AM
i can tell you the one thing i didn't like was hearing him talk about a potential movie version as if only a trilogy would do. that sounds a LOT like four movies too few. now, i know i am firmly against any movie, but hypothetically, if it's to be done, it's to be done right, and King's idea of a trilogy being right is not in line with how I see it. i wonder why he feels they should try to condense 7 books into 3 movies. i know there are film threads, but this is more a response to king's actual statement in the interview. and yes, he used to say it "de-shane"

The main reason we know about it is because EW covered the LOST team's visit to King in Maine to talk about the show and the Dark Tower. Abrams has mentioned it in interviews, too, but he's never said anything other than "we have this Dark Tower thing," as if it's vague and far in the future and, perhaps, they haven't really stopped to think about it in any detail.

His opinions on everything from Herman Melville to Roman Catholicism are chronicled in these collected interviews, ranging from 1973 to the present. A keen observer and a nearly encyclopedic resource on music and film, King's thoughts on literature, art, and the world are as fascinating as his fiction. King offers a glimpse into his own creative processes, his reasons for being a writer, and discusses the methods he uses to scare us out of our wits. "Stephen King Spills the Beans" compiles over 30 years worth of thought-provoking insight from one of our most beloved, popular, and significant authors.

King-Mellencamp musical postponed in Atlanta

ATLANTA (AP) — A musical by John Mellencamp and Stephen King, scheduled to be produced next season in Atlanta, has been postponed, the Alliance Theatre announced Monday.

The Alliance announced in February that "Ghost Brothers of Darkland County," with music by Mellencamp and a book by horror master King, would open in April 2009, with the object of preparing it for a Broadway run.

The Alliance notified subscribers on Monday that the project has been delayed because of "unanticipated scheduling problems which could not be resolved in time for the production."

Members of the creative team "realized the script would not be ready by spring 2009," the statement said.

In the February announcement, the Alliance described the play as "a sultry Southern gothic mystery with a blues-tinged, guitar-driven score." Peter Askin was announced as the director.

The story is set in the fictional town of Lake Belle Reve, Miss., and centers on the deaths in 1957 of two brothers and a young girl and the legend that grows out of the tragedy.

The Alliance said it now hopes to produce the show during its 2009-2010 season.

On the 30th anniversary of "The Stand," the novelist confesses what haunts him about religion and today's politics.


You've got the unpopular war, economic problems, gasoline problems. Whatever goes around, comes around. The Stand even says that. Life is like a wheel. Sooner or later, it always come around to where you started again.



Americans are apocalyptic by nature.


There's that scene in "The Dead Zone" where Johnny Smith sees Greg Stillson in the future starting a nuclear war. Around my house we kinda laugh when Sarah Palin comes on TV, and we say, "That's Greg Stillson as a woman."


I'm particularly interested in the idea that in the New Testament, you're suggesting a moral code that's actually enlightened.


I think it's whatever you think you're going to get.

Questions of politics are never very far away in "The Stand." Once the plague has come and gone, society has to be reformed. Do you think of it as a political novel, in any sense?

I did see it that way. I've always been a political novelist, and those things have always interested me. "Firestarter" is a political novel. "The Dead Zone" is a political novel. There's that scene in "The Dead Zone" where Johnny Smith sees Greg Stillson in the future starting a nuclear war. Around my house we kinda laugh when Sarah Palin comes on TV, and we say, "That's Greg Stillson as a woman."

The Poet is probably Michael Connelly's best novel--and that's saying a lot, because he's a terrific crime writer.

I'll also vouch for Water for Elephants - and excellent book!. Lots of people liked The Yiddish Policemen's Union but I didn't care for it at all! :-(

I have been meaning to read The Poet, but just haven't gotten around to it! :-)

I also haven't read an Bentley Little, but also on my to read list!

Right now most of my reading is listening to audio books and the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time series is killing me! I love it but is it ever long! So far I am on Book Six and have listened to approx 180 CDs! Yes I said 180!

I thought this would be a good idea, a thread of any random Stephen King television (or web) interviews. Its always great to hear how an author feels about their own story, from their own mouths. It's fun to hear Mr. King talk anytime, actually, with that charming Maine accent of his. I thought this would be a good video to start out with, especially for those of us going through Conan withdrawals. Its from 2005, and he's plugging the Colorado Kid.

Awesome interview taken about 5 months after he was hit by a van. Poor guy, he looks so emaciated (I cant help but think of him in rugged Roland garb, the way he looks in this interview). Just think how different TDT would have been had he not been struck. I'm so glad he survived. Not just because he's written a lot of great stories since, but because he's a fellow human (which this video really made apparent) and I hope for the best for all the goodns' out there.

Addict the children early! Here's some more great stuff from the interview you posted up there, S.T. Gimp. This is crazy 'cause I remember my mom reading dr. jeckel and mr. hyde to my brother and I when we were little. I remember it because my mom said "Oh my God" while reading it, and strong christain woman that she is, she never took lord's name in vain, and it kind of shocked me.

Stephen King to appear on FX show. (http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2010/05/06/exclusive-stephen-king-to-appear-on-sons-of-anarchy/)



Stephen King will make a special appearance on Sons of Anarchy when the biker drama returns for a third season on FX this September. King, who is a columnist for Entertainment Weekly, will play a quiet loner who appears in Gemma’s (Katey Sagal) time of need. The producers learned that King was a fan of the drama, so they reached out to the author for a possible cameo. King will appear in the third episode.
Sons generated a lot of momentum in its second season, averaging 4.5 million total viewers and 3.16 million adults between the ages of 18-49. It ranked as the most-watched basic cable scripted series of the year in men 18-49 and was the second most watched among adults 18-49. Among all returning series - on cable and broadcast - Sons also showed the largest season-to-season growth in adults 18-49 (+81 percent), men 18-49 (+80 percent) and total viewers (+72 percent).
