Stephen King is one of the most successful writers in history. You'd think it wouldn't be so difficult to get feature-film adaptations of The Stand and The Dark Tower and It produced and done with a modicum of success. I find it annoying that Hollywood keeps churning out mindless movies with zero depth like Transformers with no problem, and they're making billions of dollars, but something that has a chance at being truly rewarding as a motion picture gets developed for several months and then shoved aside. Latest case in point, today it was announced that Josh Boone is abandoning his adaptation of The Stand in favor of an adaptation of Revival. While I enjoyed Revival, it just seems sort of low-key for a movie.
