    New Salem's Lot film coming from It-screenwriter Gary Dauberman

    https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/what-the-salems-lot-movie-will-have-in-common-with-it.html/ Of course he's also known for the Annabelle series and The Nun. Hard to say what to expect of it, because apparently it's gonna be one movie. To do it in one movie is hardly possible, unless...

    Stuart Gordon

    https://www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/stuart-gordon-re-animator-director-dead-obit-972893/ I actually met him one time. It was at a film festival in Amsterdam. He was coming into the theatre, along with Brian Yuzna, and he was met by no one from the festival organization. So that gave...

    Why is his later work often more sexual in tone?

    I'm not even talking about specific sex scenes, although there seems more of that too. But it seems that so much of his later writing is about sex: references to sex, comparisons to sex. Sometimes it takes almost ridiculous proportions. For example, in Doctor Sleep the True Knot are watching...

    Adrien Brody to star in Jerusalem's Lot tv-series

    https://www.thewrap.com/adrien-brody-to-star-in-stephen-king-adaptation-jerusalems-lot-at-epix/ This is great news, I think! I always hoped this would be made at some point. It's King at his most Lovecraftian.

    The Sparrows are flying again! New Dark Half adaptation in the works.

    Interesting that we're seeing so many remakes of books that have been done before. I quite like the Romero version, but it's lacking real tension I felt. Mainly the problem for me is that Timothy Hutton was not menacing enough as Stark. He remains a bit cardboard. Of course the character of...

    Do you think that over time ALL of his work will be adapted to film?

    There are an amazing amount of adaptations of couse, varying from the very bad to very good. But there are still books (and also some of the older books) that have a hard time getting to the screen. There is the seemingly doomed Talisman, but also quite some others that haven't made it (yet)...

    Full HD or 4K, which do you prefer for movies?

    I have to get a new tv, because of HDCP (control protection) my tv doesn't function anymore in many ways. I'm wondering though whether to go for Full HD or 4K. There are coming more and more titles on 4K, but my worry is about film grain. Film grain are those tiny particles you see move in the...

    The Shining starring Jim Carrey

    For those not aware of it, they do this series of clips from The Shining with Carrey's face replacing good old Jack. It's quite subtle, but the second clip especially works well.

    Who is your favourite horrorwriter AFTER King?

    I think people here also pick up other writers than King. I certainly do. I was wondering who do you consider the best AFTER Steve?

    Editing and publication questions

    But he doesn't always edit his books anymore, it seems. He often thanks others for editiing in the back of his books (someone named Nan Graham I believe). So I guess he does a rough draft of a book and then hands it over? I suppose only his very early books were edited completely by himself...

    To become a Netflix film by Vincenzo Natali (Cube, Splice, Haunter)

    In the Tall Grass is quite a long title for Natali, since (next to a lot of tv-episodes of various series) he's done mostly films with one word titles: Elevated, Cube, Cypher, Nothing, Splice, Haunter, Tremors. But considering Cube (still his best regarded film, I think) I can see why he is...

    The Gingerbread Girl to be adapted by Storm of the Century helmer Craig R. Baxley

    Apparently King co-writes the screenplay himself with the director (I'm not sure he's ever co-written a movie before, he always seems to get sole credit on his screenplays). Baxley also did Rose Red, which along with Storm of the Century was pretty solid as far as tv goes, so it seems like good...

    Blu-ray (Umbrella Entertainment)

    I got the blu-ray from Umbrella. STEPHEN KINGS SILVER BULLET (BLU-RAY) - Umbrella Entertainment SK actually was too busy to do the screenplay at the time, but Dino de Laurentiis coaxed him into doing it. It seems he didn't visit the set, but the producers did visit him at his home. It's great...

    New Firestarter limited editon blu-ray from Plan B

    Plan B Entertainment Brings 2K Transfer of Stephen King's 'Firestarter' to (UK) Blu-Ray - Dark Universe: Horror Database Looks like a good package. It's not one of my true favourites but I have a soft spot for it as it's the first King adaptation I saw at the cinema. These were...

    The figure with the flute on the painting

    Was it in the book too? I've read the book, but I can't remember (and the book was abridged here without mentioning that on the cover). And how did it relate to Stan? Was there any symbolic meaning perhaps? Or something Jewish? Overall, I enjoyed the film immensely. I would have liked about...

    Is having a second first name very common in general?

    I was looking at the names of popstars and nearly all of them have two first names: Thomas Earl Petty, Michael Joseph Jackson, Madonna Louise Ciccone, Taylor Allison Swift, Beyoncé Giselle Knowles, James Paul McCartney, John Winston Lennon, Michael Philip Jagger, Britney Jean Spears, Sheryl...

    Doctor Sleep adaptation coming from Gerald's Game director Mike Flanagan

    Considering that Gerald's Game turned out quite well overall, this is good news I think. Whether it will be theatrical, tv or Netflix again, I'm not sure though. Gerald's Game director hired for Stephen King's The Shining sequel Doctor Sleep | EW.com

    Technical question not to do with the website

    I bought a webcam and there was no problem in my pc recognising it. Then I downloaded a driver for it at their website which I installed. The problem is, even though I can see the icon for it on my desk when I click on it I see all the functions for the cam, but I can't click them. (I don't...

    What are the hardest elements of a story to get across when adapting it to film?

    Succesful adaptations that satisfy everyone are not that common, so it remains hard to adapt a story from the written word to the silver screen (or the flatscreen). What makes it so difficult? For one, there's obviously the fact that everyone's imagination works differently and everyone has...
