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

[Girlystevedave]

Speaking of re-dos, a well done Shining movie (kept true to the book) would be amazing.
Also, I still need to read The Long Walk.

can't we all just have a creative discussion without a shyt-slinging contest?

Why remake the Shining? Kubrick's version is a masterpiece.

So it is not exactly like the book. Who cares, it is an adaptation.

I do think they should make the sequel Doctor Sleep into a film and it will probably happen.

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(?)

I doubt Black House would get made before the Talisman, as it is a sequel. The beancounters want a franchise.

It's not that I think Kubrick's is bad- not at all. But it is "Kubrick's" adaptation. I'd just like to see the story on the big screen as told in the book.

Do it!

I still need to read The Long Walk.

I will I will! I know everyone around here loves it, so...

What are you waiting for?!

And have you seen the miniseries of The Shining? It's much better at following the book, however I think it fails in every other way. I hated the casting for both Jack and Danny, which isn't good considering the story revolves around the two of them.

I had heard that it followed the book. To be honest, from the looks of it, I just assumed it would be kinda cheap or corny. I hate to admit it, but when I hear "miniseries", my expectations immediately lower themselves.

As far as The Long Walk, I don't know what I'm waiting for!

Good, that ends the discussion then. Guess you'll be starting it tonight

I think I will start it when I finish what I'm currently reading.

I know a lot of people won't like it, but I would love for a Long Walk adaptation to dive deeper into the society and what it's like. How did the Walk come into existence and why? I was always so curious when reading that story.

I think that could actually work. Start the movie with the kid being dropped off at the start of the race just like the book but keep showing flashbacks that tell the background story as the walk continues on.

Don't trust her Heather she always says that.

Woah woah woah. That applies when I'm talking about starting a new tv show. I don't procrastinate as bad when it comes to books.

I don't understand all the love for The Long Walk. I think it might be my least favorite Bachman book.

It was a precursor to the Hunger Games. The Capitol was still developing them, so they need an interim way to punish society. Duh. Come on, Mike. Use your brain.

Smells like Divergent.

Big Screen > Book. Book had so much explanation at the end I got a little bored. I hate ghost stories that feel the need to explain exactly how the ghosts are there, and who they were and why they're there. Kubrick's version is wayyyyy better. Axe over croquet mallet any day.

Oh no, not me. I might be in the minority but I don't think we need an explanation. You can just use your imagination.

Hmmm, I'm still waiting for you to start a certain book...

Oh no Ricky
