Dean Koontz. What books been turned into movies?

[urrutiap]

So what books of Koontz have been made into movies and why haven't they been good as a Stephen King movie?


I know Phantoms has a movie and Sole Survivor and Intensity too I think.


Watchers is a decent flick but not totally accurate I think?

Movies Based on Dean Koontz Books

...and it's not that they aren't as good, some of King's sucked just as bad......

I don't think I've ever seen a movie based on a Koontz novel.

I've seen Hideaway a few times and also enjoyed Odd Thomas.

There are FOUR Watchers movies???!

I thought they did a good job with Odd Thomas.

Dean wrote a really nice note about Anton on his website.

I still mistake Powder from the Powder movie as Snow from the Dean Koontz Snow series lol.

Wait, wasn't there an early 1990s movie of Shattered starring Tom Berenger of Platoon and good old hairy Bob Hoskins?

....the Odd movie was a corker...

Who is this Dean Koontz?? I've not seen any of these movies nor have I read any of his books....just really never interested me.

The Silent Corner will arrive in June. Whoo!

According to DK's latest, he's penning the THIRD book in this pending series.

I liked the television movie Intensity (but only if I ignore the one huge glaring plot hole). I thought Phantoms was okay. Wasn't Hideaway filmed with Jeff Goldblum? Isn't this the one where he dies in the beginning and is brought back to life after being dead for 15 minutes? The book was way better. Watchers was not a good movie- changing the lead from a 20-something male to a teenage boy (Corey Haim) wasn't a good idea......

Is he using the James Patterson school of writing now? I hope Dean never goes that route.

 

[kingricefan]

He needs to get that third and final installment of the Christopher Snow trilogy done!!!

....he just basically feels that he can't quit writing "her" until she lets go of his imagination....

....troof!!!.....

I wouldn't mind Christopher making at least a cameo in a Jane Hawk book...if for no other reason than to reassure his audience that Chris hasn't been forgotten.
