Which unadapted SK novels would you like to see on the big screen?

[mae]

Five years ago I started a similar thread (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...read.php?10319) but as we all love polls, I decided to make it a poll now. Since the maximum number of poll entries is 15 (and you can choose as many as you wish), a few books had to be left off. I have excluded all the novels that are planned to be or currently are in production at this time.

I voted for The Long Walk. I also would like to see a "The Man in the Black Suit" film. There's a short film on YouTube that's actually pretty good.

The Talisman and Doctor Sleep.

The Talisman is my choice.

U.K. PAPERBACK 1985.

Duma Key. Creepiest book he's written (saying this without having read IT)

I'd love to see a Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon adaptation too, it would just require a good enough young actress to carry the weight of it all.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
The Eyes of the Dragon
Rose Madder
The Talisman - The thought of a well-done Talisman movie makes me all tingly.

The Long Walk, TEOTD, and Blaze.

Very sad to see that, 'Black House" was not included. Big mistake IMHO

Spoiler:

Also, and just FYI that I have heard on the net, I believe the rights have already been sold to production firms for "The Talisman" & Mr. Mercede's", and also "Duma Key" if I recall(?)

Black House wasn't included because The Talisman was.

All due respect, but that doesn't make much sense, IMO for a thread like this one. I love "Talisman", but of the two my favorite is "BH". It's much more "TDT related.

It's also a, stand alone novel. You don't "have to" read, Talisman in order to read this book. Sorry, I don't mean to be a PITA. It just comes naturally with me, I am afraid. LOL

Not that it will ever happen, but I think Rage would make an interesting and insightful film adaptation in the hands of the right director.

I swear to god you just hate polls. There must be some kind of Superhero villain origin story that happened in your past involving you and a polling system.

There has to be. It's the only thing that makes sense.

Talisman would make an amazing movie in the hands of the right people. Be my number #1 for sure!

"When the polling system took away his first love, Merlin vowed to forever fight the powers of democracy as Despotman!"

Agreed!

W/E. While we're at it, why isn't TDT listed? Last I looked this was TDT.Org and it hasn't been adapted, or did I miss something?

It's in development, kinda. This is just for those novels that are not known to be in the works.

Ahhh, yes I suppose that is true. Good point.

If there was any of King's works that would be EPIC on the big screen.. this is in. The Dark Tower would be amazing... I always liked the thought (and not sure if this is still a go or not) of the 3 movies and 2 (3?) HBO seasons of an accompanying show. You could almost do what Marvel did and create a cinematic universe... NOW that would be sweet!

Black House could work as a stand alone if you took all the DT and Territories references out and made it as a straight forward mystery/whodunit with a supernatural twist. That'd be doing the book and DT mythos a disservice.

I'm surprised there is not much love for an adaption of Blaze.
