This is a different ka-tet. Move along, Sai Sheb. This is a whole different cycle.
(Just kidding in a way, Good Sir.)

Has "Family Guy" done it yet?Quote:

I think even if they were to put them in the next movie, it will not be the same. Movies are not the best place for telling intricate stories, they are flash in the pan stories. You could never get into the complexities of Eddie or Susannah in one movie and would almost need stand alone films to delve into them individually. With the way TV is these days I would prefer TDT to be told in that format. Walking Dead is a prime example of what good can be done across 7 seasons and counting. You could explore characters, as well as the wind variety of worlds and locations they run into in the books.Quote:

That would be quite a stretch from the books.
I'm pretty sure the only stuff that was shot in NY was location footage (on the streets). They most likely built any sets elsewhere.Quote:

If I wanted that I'd still read Robin Furth's comics.
Has anyone posted this image yet?

This is exactly why the comics didn't gain much traction with me. I wanted to enjoy them but ultimately did not and eventually stopped purchasing them.

Could that have been Sony just repeating an earlier teaser, which referenced the no longer new original trailer?
Well, FWIW I believe the "new loop" is their basis for "editing" the story to fit the film medium better. So, in general, the story will still be the, King story. At least that is my understanding. Sort of like what was done in "LOTR" which turned out to be a damned good film version IMHOQuote:

Like what Under the Dome did for example. It's about a town trapped under a dome, the main characters are called Barbie and Big Jim and everything else is a crapshoot.Quote:
