This is seriously a beautiful edition. I have a thing for the white tray cases... Congrats Jon!

Thanks Antoni. The White traycase look great next to the usual black or dark coloured traycases.

BEAUTIFUL, congrats Jon !!!
Great remarque and again a very nice white case from CD.

Thanks Frank. I really like the remarques.

Thanks Michaël. I will probably only add a handful in 2017. Probably the easier to find missing ones.

Congrats Jon!

Thanks Paul.

I was thinking about bidding on that, but got sidetracked. I'm glad you got it! Nice one, Jon!

Thanks Dez. I didn't bid too high -- I am very wary about bidding on the unbound CD proofs after I bought a fake photocopied one. I think I have three more to find.

I remember that, which is why I stepped back. Didn't want the headache. Glad that wasn't the problem here, though!

How can you tell the difference? Size of paper stock?

Took me awhile to find the post - I have too many pages in this collection thread. Brian at CD was kind enough at the time to tell me all the characteristics of the unbound proofs. The link is below.

Recently, I've been trying to obtain as many unpublished/uncollected King stories as possible, including his screenplays. I have now received a first part of a package involving Rose Red. The second part sounds very cool, but had to be sent separately due to its bulk (I will post that part when it arrives). I now need to buy a copy of the Rose Red DVD (which seems to be discontinued) as I have never watched the series!

King had long wanted to write a haunted house movie. After a number of false starts working with Steven Spielberg, he eventually came to write and produce this television series of three consecutive feature films, about a spooky mansion in Seattle which is capable of making people inside it disappear, and which seems to keep growing on the inside (while there is no sign of this from the outside). The screenplay for the Rose Red series was written just after King's accident. As the series was a popular success, and it spawned The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, effectively a prequel set many decades earlier.

The scripts belonged to Keli Craig, however, I could not find too much about her. It seems that she may been the liaison of Rose Red Productions (correct me if I'm wrong) to Thornewood Castle (just south of Seattle) which was used as the location for the Rose Red Mansion. There happens to be a photograph of Keli on the Thornewood website site, putting tape strips on the floor to mark spots for actors, otherwise she is not mentioned anywhere else including imdb in relation to Rose Red.

This first part of the package includes in a large three ring folder an archive of scripts for the Rose Red series of television feature films, along with the script for its sequel.

Rose Red by Stephen King. Three scripts for "Nights One", "Two", and "Three", dated up through June 1, 2000. 100, 99, 97 pp. [but with many additional pages of revisions in a variety of colors, so that the total number pages of text is approaching 400]. This seemed to have been a working copy and has been thumbed through.

The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer Teleplay by Ridley Pearson 11/19/02 [with revisions on colored paper dated up through 1/9/03] In Self-wrappers and brad bound, 83 pp. [but with a number of added pages of revisions on colored paper].

This is interesting, Jon. Can't wait to see the rest!

I really enjoyed Rose Red. Of course, I love haunted house stories and have the Winchester Mystery House on my list of places I must go, so that might be why. I'm sure you'll be able to find the movie somewhere.

Thanks Dez. There's plenty of Rose Red DVDs on eBay.
Just googled Winchester Mystery House, it looks amazing and huge!! Probably a very interesting visit.

If I remember correctly, SK used the Winchester House as part of the inspiration for Rose Red. If you googled it, you can see why!

I didn't know that but can imagine that from the photos I've seen.

Thanks Antoni. Actually most of my recent finds have been on eBay. This one was a movie poster / script specialist listing on eBay.
