Re: [TV] Starting up in June

It's not the Dome that made it bad. I read the book and liked it very much so it's not the overall story either. The adaptation is just...bad. The film version of Langoliers bad. The film version of Dreamcatcher bad. The casting, dialogue, acting...bad. I really tried to like it but like SixOfNine See Profile said

For me, the majority of King's horror sucks. And it doesn't translate well into film.
His other stuff though, is pretty awesome.
The Running man.
Green Mile.
Shawnshank redemption
Stand by me.
Misery.

All great stories that made great movies.
I would love to see The girl who loved Tom Gordon made into a film. I think it would do will.
As would the Dark Tower.

The Stand. I'm 50/50 on this one.
The Shining: Never watched it, nor am I interested in it.
The others I didn't mention because I saw them, and thought them meh.

I think the Dark Tower could either way.
The Shining (original version) was well done, though I saw the movie before I read the book.

I've been waiting since forever for The Dark Tower no idea yet if it'll ever come I think the plan called for a TV series book ended with a pair of movies. I'll have to look into it again when I find the time and see if there are any Dark Tower updates since the last time I checked for it.

From Sept 2013, I think this was the last best unofficial official word:

And it'd be nice if this were still in play but I kind of doubt it after all this time:

Oh man can you imagine a Dark Tower HBO series a la Game of Thrones? How great would that be?

Anyway sorry didn't mean to derail the thread with all the Stephen King talk.

I think it would be interesting. Or maybe on AMC, FX, even.
Might be a tad mature for MTV.
