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

[mae]

Or Rose Madder.

[Merlin1958]

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

Spoiler:

Also, and just FYI that I have hear 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

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.

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.

Okay, I get it. You don't want me in your little "Clique" and that's fine. For the record, if that is your criterion, "The Talisman" rights were sold and are "Kinda in development by Spielberg". At least get your facts square. You guys just don't want anyone playing in your personal "Pool". Just say it already and don't be well... "Dick's" about it. I may be wrong more than right, but I say what I feel and don't need a "Posse" to validate my comments. I'll take it on the chin when I have to and should be afforded the same when I don't. "Moderator"? More like "Head Cheerleader" in High School!!! You guys really don't play well with others, do you? What happened to "It's all about the discussion"?

Typical. You try to dismiss me as some sort of radical, but if you have an opinion, state it. I could do with what you posted by saying "Fuck you", but I didn't do that. I made a genuine case for the subject I addressed. In response, you went with your patented reply until the troops roll in. If, I mis-spoke about the make up of this poll, enlighten me. If not, deal with it. Just because you are a "Mod" does not make you "Above the fray".

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Okay, I think it's time I threw my weight into this "discussion".

I think Bill made a valid point about Black House, and being rounded on for doing so is rather unbecoming.

I have excluded all the novels that are planned to be or currently are in production at this time.

I don't know why Bill's comments about Black House were so controversial, when the following novels included in this poll are already planned or currently in production:

The Long Walk

The film rights have been purchased by Frank Darabont, who is also keen to direct once production starts.

Rose Madder

Palomar Pictures and Grosvenor Park are currently developing this into a movie.

Joyland

Tate Taylor has the film rights and is currently working on finalising the script for the movie.

From A Buick 8

Richard Chizmar purchased the rights and will act as producer for the movie adaptation, with Tobe Hooper directing.

Mr Mercedes

This is currently being developed into a TV series by David E Kelley and will be aired during 2016.

The Eyes of the Dragon

Syfy are currently developing this into a movie. Michael Taylor and Jeff Vintar are confirmed to be penning the script and Taylor and Bill Haber will act as executive producers.

The Talisman

Frank Marshall purchased the rights and will act as producer for the movie. A full script has already been approved and Steven Spielberg has been touted as possible director.

Let's not make a monsoon out of a glass of water, that's all I'm asking. I don't want a repeat of what happened in the comedy nominations thread.

Thanks.

If I remember correctly, there was no bickering at all when the comedy films were being nominated, or did I miss something?

"In a world ruled by a group of righteous superheroes called "The Clique" one villain must prove that he is the real hero the world needs and expose "The Clique" as the true villains."

Lighten up, Merlin. There's no clique. I was just kidding before. It just seems like you're at the center of every disagreement involving anything that has to do with a poll.

Speaking of water, let's all take a moment to talk about how good water is. Especially when it's cascading over ice cubes. Cool, crisp, refreshing. Sometimes there's nothing like it. Mmm...

Stop trying to push your pro water agenda here. Water is overrated and hardly a necessity. Take that garbage somewhere else.

[Mattrick]

Are we re-enacting Quantum of Solace?

[Merlin1958]

So, when "Logic" fails, attack the protagonist? I was merely pointing out an overlooked flaw in the process. No harm, no foul just a mistake prone to us all. Is all the rest really necessary? The last few posts prove my thoughts....

[mae]

Once again, I view Black House as part of The Talisman so that's why it wasn't on the poll. Or Finders Keepers, even through it's not published yet.

Don't get how us talking about water proves any of your thoughts.


I am very much looking forward to Fukanaga's two part adaption of IT I can't see it being bad, he's so talented.

Because you're not talking about water. You are all posting that shit as a way to mock Bill's comments.

By pretending not to know and acting all innocent about this, just goes to demonstrate how particularly immature and childish you are when faced with someone with differing opinions. You all know exactly what you are doing when posting that kind of crap. It's the kind of passive aggressive behaviour I would expect from a group of pre teens in a school playground.

Maybe if you were all a little bit more accommodating towards other members, this kind of situation wouldn't arise, and then just maybe you would also be able to get more people to join in with your polls.

I don't get why polls constantly create controversy. If nobody likes them, maybe we shouldn't do them anymore.

I would ask that you not stop. I REALLY enjoy them and look forward to them man. Cheers!

We should have a poll to see if we should continue doing polls.

It will all come down to who they cast as Pennywise.

Merlin is the one who dishes it more than anybody on these boards. Even he would agree with that. I thought he could take it too, I guess not.

Nobody takes more cheap shots at Matt than Merlin. It's usually just shrugged off and never really turns into anything, but the fact of the matter is that he does it all the time, yet you paint him as the victim.

I could be off, but I think Merlin would even see where I'm coming from.

Actually, that came from what Fernando posted about making a monsoon out of a glass of water. I wasn't even thinking of Merlin when I posted it, I was thinking about water. So, tell me again you know more about my intentions than I do?

Or it's not related at all to Merlin. I can't speak for the other guys, but I was running with their joking about Fernando's comment. We changed the subject...yet we're being passive-aggressive.

Maybe if you were all a little bit more accommodating towards other members, this kind of situation wouldn't arise, and then just maybe you would also be able to get more people to join in with your polls.

The only people who ever seem to be not accommodated are you and Merlin. No one else ever seems to get upset about this kind of thing, and if they do get upset, they don't voice it. I mean, seriously, if you can't handle a little joshing on the internet, the internet is the not the ideal place for you. If you think we're not accommodating...you haven't seen real unaccommodating people on the internet. They're nasty as all hell.

It will all come down to who they cast as Pennywise.

Rob Schnieder is...THE EVIL CLOWN. He's about to find out, that being a demonic, child-eating clown, isn't that easy! Rated R.

Makes me glad I didn't blame his bad mood on the Jays taking the season opener.

This is true.

[Heather19]

My picks:

The Long Walk
Joyland
Duma Key
Revival
The Regulators

and in that order. A redo of It would be number one, but that one is in the works, and hopefully will be a much better film than the miniseries. Also I know Frank Darabont bought the rights to The Long Walk a long time ago, but hasn't attempted to do anything with it. I really do hope however that he keeps them and pushes it up towards the front of his list. He's really the only one I can picture doing a very well made film that follows the story closely.
