Stephen KING goes to the movies

[herbertwest]

according to Lilja:

Here is some info about an upcoming book about King's movies called Stephen King Goes to the Movies:

According to Scribner, Stephen King provides new commentary and introductions to 5 of his favorite short stories that have been turned into films. The 400 page paperback book will be released on January 27, 2009.

The info is from Larry Fire's Blogg The Fire Wire and you can pre-order the book here.

so what exactly will it be?
just a new "collection" of 5 already known short stories that have been adapted in movies, with introductions and commentaries???
thats it???

That's what it sounds like. I'm sure we'll find out more eventually. Actually, it makes me wonder which five stories are being chosen. I can think of some truely awful movies that have been made from King's short stories--Children of the Corn, Sometimes They Come Back, The Mangler, The Lawnmower Man--the list just goes on!

Apt Pupil, Stand by Me (The Body), The Shawshank Redemption, The Langoliers... well that one was a novella I guess. Maybe he'll be picking the 5 most popular... or his five favorites?

Secret Window, Secret Garden? The Mist?

[The Lady of Shadows]

well, since he sued to have his name removed from the lawnmower man you can be sure that won't be in the book.

He did like the movie itself but didn't like his name attached since it was clearly no real adaptation.
