I had not known about Cell, so I thought it was The Cell... so I researched it a bit, will watch and write a reply to self...
When I imagine Cell, on the ratings and on the deviation between the book and movie...
I imagine the actor being told simple, they are acting like zombies.... so the actor starts telling their friends it's a zombie film, and then the actor is told they are actually not zombies... so the actor asks if they are trying to make them look dumb, they already told everyone it's zombie.... and the production changes, and that leads to discussions to change the ending... It's my imagination of course, since public knowledge says the script was written as such and no such conversation is on record, yet besides dark tower, I don't understand why the movie is soo far from the book, why why why. Yet, I've not read the book, and I know they are not zombies... so I'm very curious, and they at least probably didn't try to make it a comedy.
So to recap. I found that the book was about people turning into wild animals but the movie is sold as King's zombie flick, if anything that's pet cemetery
I also recall dark tower, the dare I say harry potter of adaptations, and I realize that most of what that movie missed, would have subjected the lead to racial stereotypes types, such as the idea that cowboys themselves... like that Jackie Chan movie... where he plays an Asian cowboy, because anything less would be weird, yet that movie was not an adaptation already loved and yet appropriated as is.
Technically it's frightening to even consider it that way, but now I also realize that from such a prospective, when it comes to originality and talent, they are both at the mercy of cultural appropriation, which does scare me for the shining remake, in case they decide to make it into new york style... happy go-ge-her maddening in which crazy is them also seen as a stereotype that requires the side personalities to become a lead personality, over weird mental disorders spoken as direction... when King is the only direction with veto?
!
Cheers, I await to see the film!!
