cooli hope they do a good job with it.
I can see the elements of the story that will translate very well to film...but I imagine the parts of it I liked the most will be horribly rehashed or completely omitted.
Bah humbug...I'm a bit of a pessimist when it comes to book to movie adaptations
Thanks for posting this Chrism--it is not featured on our news page under Duma Key.
I am hoping this will be really good.

Good news. I'm always up for an attempt at a decent adaptation. King said it best...if you don't like the movie, you'll always have the book to fall back on. I agree.
Maybe they can get John Cusack for this too. He's SK adaptation gold.

Did that ever get released on video?
Yeah, years ago.Did that ever get released on video?
I'm hoping this will be good....but Im not going to place any bets on it lol.
I lurk, therefore I am.
I just finished a re-read of insomnia, so its nice and fresh. Ive always wanted them to do a movie version of this as I thought the aura/balloon string/bald doctors would translate really well.

Are you looking forward to any of these?

well I hear that Children of the Korn will be a "SciFi Original Movie". Not matter how bad they do, it can't be worse than what the first movie did.
Bag of Bones and the Cell are the ones that i am looking forward too.

Yeah apparently Eli Roth will direct it.
Yeah i heard that, i wonder who is doing bag of bones?

From what I've heard the Creepshow thingy has been cancelled, which should be a good thing because the people behind the terrible Creepshow 3 were behind this as well.
King has seen cuts of Dolan's Cadillac and has said nice things about it. But I still can't see Slater as Dolan. But we'll see.
Mick Garris is directing it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.

The Talisman, definitely.
In Digitized Remorse
IMDB is highly optimistic. The only movies we could see in 2009 are Dolan's Cadillac and the remake of Children of the Corn. To say that the others are "in production" is misleading. That's not to say that some of them might go into production in '09 -- but even if they did we'd be unlikely to see the films until the following year. I consider both The Talisman and Cell dead at present.
