Probably some of his best work and it hasnt been made into a movie, or actually a series of movies as you cannot fit it all into one. Maybe 2 books per movie so it doesnt water it down too poorly. And please use a good director and movie stars. Always thought Clint Eastwood would be perfect for the role although maybe hes too old now to want to. Next option would be maybe Johnny Depp. He seems wide abilitied and could pull it off. A series of movies with The Gunslinger and the Drawing of the Three being the first. Than The wastelands and Wizard and Glass being the second. And so on. Basically 2 books per movie with the final being 3 books. So 3 movies total. With a good director and good stars, like above. It should make a ton of money and be great.

Most of his books turned movies have been horrible. Partly because the producers and stars were ****. I'm 35 and have as big a fan of King as any. Ive read every single book, starting when I was just a kid and with Pet Semetary and IT and The Shining and so on. Read the first Gunslinger when I was a freshman in High School. And have read and own the whole series. Also own the majority of Kings Books. Theres a couple I dont but the majority i do.

Anyways. I think its a shame how poorly created Cujo and the like were made, than again it was a while ago so maybe movies just sucked in general. But if they can make great movies like Indiana Jones back in that time why such a piss poor creation of his books? Anyways just a small rant. But if theyll make these movies as I think they should, PLEASE get a good director and actors. Spielberg might like to take on something like this. The Gunslinger should be Clint Eastwood, or Harrison Ford if either is up to it, but younger like Johnny Depp might have to do. But dont get some second rate bum and some hack director. Do it RIGHT and the story and 3 movies will make a ton of money. And by a enjoy for us King and The Gunslinger fans to watch.

This is just one of my beggings to make a movie. Ive sent emails to all the major motion picture makers. Hopefully we can enjoy the movies at some point. Seems almost criminal NOT to make a movie about these great books. They make movies about every other dumb thing that some writers make up. They must do this!

Welcome to SKMB!! I hope you enjoy it here.. not just to suggest making a movie. Lots of great fans here and conversation.
I personally like all the movies/tv series ... but having said that, NONE are as good as the books.. they would never be able to make a movie with all the brilliance he puts into his books or the movie would be ridiculously long.. lol I suppose that is why we all love to 'read' SK!!!
