    YOU can find Gramma for free somewhere on the TUBE in front you. It was an episode of The Twilight Zone.

    I'd love to see The Long Walk as an indie/low budget film in black and white or maybe through a gray filter.

    That would be interesting if they could animate it like they did originally with The Hobbit.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    No, really. I can imagine TDT as almost anything except a feature film. A cartoon, a musical, an opera, a symphony, you name it.

    l am tempted to say "three", but even though it's one of my favorite novels ever - or maybe, on the contrary, because of this - I don't believe they could make a movie worthy of it

    I've read this book a few times and just never really "got" it. I couldn't really identify with the main character and didn't understand his motivation.

    He was literally trying to fight city hall when he knew it was a battle he would never be able to win. I never understood the point.

    That being said, it would make for a terrible movie. If they did do it, it would probably end up like the film adaption of The Running Man, where the only thing it really has in common with the book is the name.

    They would have to “Hollywood” the story way up including the ending.
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    Ever seen Drive? I can imagine Refn directing it with Gosling starring. That'd be the tone I'd want to see, at least.

    No, I haven't seen it. I think I'll try to find it, to see what you mean.

    Why? As big a hit as Under the Dome is, the odds of more Stephen King projects happening have become much greater. And since Spielberg has been interested in The Talisman for three decades, that one seems entirely possible.
