Stephen King Reviews, Interviews & More

The long-gestating plans to turn Stephen King’s gargantuan and multi-novel The Dark Tower series into a franchise of three films and a concurrent television series have hit more than a few snags over the years—the film lost leading man Javier Bardem (who was to be replaced by Russell Crowe), and then Universal bailed on the pricey project, and then Warner Bros. rejected...

J.J. Abrams’ company Bad Robot wants to turn Stephen King's best selling novel 11/22/63 into a time travel TV show. Said novel tells the story of teacher who goes back in time with the intention of preventing Lee Harvey Oswald from killing JFK.

Well, the trailer for Kimberly Peirce’s remake of Carrie is finally here, and it manages to squeeze in literally every single plot point one can remember from the original film.  The trailer seems to be operating on the assumption that everyone has seen and remembers the Brian De Palma original adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, making it ok to...

Stephen King’s gargantuan, 13-epsiode miniseries adaptation of his own Under the Dome novel is still a few months away from airing on CBS, but the PR machine is already kicking into gear, with a brand-new teaser trailer, as well as a quick behind the scenes video with new footage from the miniseries, as well as an interview with King himself.

In what would seem like a bit of stunt casting were he not such a solid actor, Breaking Bad’s Dean Norris has now been added to the growing cast of the CBS’s Stephen King miniseries Under the Dome, in which he will play—get this—a seemingly solid citizen who actually moonlights as a meth cook.

As everyone involved in the production of television shows struggles to adapt to the streaming technology that is eroding the number of viewers who actually tune in for a program’s original broadcast time, CBS is making an attempt to work with the competition by allowing its upcoming miniseries adaptation of Stephen King’s Under the Dome to stream online via Amazon’s Prime...

It was just a matter of time before Downton Abbey got totally and completely Americanized. NBC has hired the show's creator Julian Fellower to create an American drama about the super duper rich of 19th century New York. Also, the trailer for Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside The Mind Of Charles Swan III hit the web today. The...

John Cusack is no stranger to Stephen King adaptations, having already starred in the King adaptation 1408.  Now, the actor is set to star  in an adaptation of Cell, King’s take on the zombie apocalypse genre.

New doubts have risen over The Dark Tower, Imagine Entertainment partners Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s very ambitious three-film and dual-TV series cycle of adaptations of Stephen King‘s epic novel series, after Warner Bros. “decided not to move forward” with the project. Which begs the...

Part of what made Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining such a chilly and chilling horror film was its since of dreamlike ambiguity—was the winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel (Jack Nicholson) attempting to murder his wife and son because ghosts in the Overlook were driving him mad, or was Jack simply an unbalanced man...

As we announced last month, the original Fright Night director, Tom Holland is once again collaborating with Stephen King on the new theatrical feature film The Ten O’Clock People, after a 16-year break.  Now, it’s been reported that Justin Long is in talks to play the leading role.

Stephen King’s It has always been problematic from a cinematic-adaptation standpoint.  Though it’s one of horror writer's finest novels, how do you translate a 1,138 page novel about an evil extra-dimensional spider that lives beneath a small town and eats the fear of little children, while occasionally parading around a clown named Pennywise?  ABC tried it once before in 1990...

The original Fright Night director Tom Holland is set to make a new theatrical feature film after a 16-year break - and the good news is, he'll be collaborating with bestselling author Stephen King. Fans will know Holland is no stranger to working with King, as the two collaborated back in the ‘90s with such King adaptations as the TV miniseries...

Last week it was revealed that the new remake of Stephen King’s Carrie is set to take on a whole new approach, using a “found footage” narrative element, and now young actress Chloe Moretz (Let Me In, Kick-Ass) has taken a brief moment to talk about her new role in the dark new adaptation of the film.

Warner Brothers has made their choice for adapting Stephen King's thousand page-plus tome The Stand and their choice is Ben Affleck, according to Deadline Hollywood. Affleck would then be brought on to both write and direct the project after finishing his current feature Argo.

The future of Ron Howard’s massive three-film, two-season TV show adaptation of Stephen King’s multi-volume The Dark Tower series is beginning to look, well, dark.  Despite having a hotshot director like Howard attached, and Javier Bardem in talks to play the lead, Universal has passed on the ungainly production.

With the news that Javier Bardem is essentially locked down for the main character of The Dark Tower, the three-film, two-TV series adaptation of Stephen King’s mammoth seven volume tale of gunslingers, alternate realities, an entire universe within a rose in New York, and a gigantic tower that acts as a lynchpin holding all of reality together, maybe it’s time...

Remember back in March when we reported that Javier Bardem was “psychologically” attached to the role of Roland the gunslinger, the lead role in Ron Howard’s three-films-and-a-TV-series adaptation of Stephen King’s seven book series The Dark Tower?  Well, it looks like he’s now a little more than “psychologically” attached to the role.

If you catch a season two episode of AMC’s most recent sensation, the zombie-fied television show The Walking Dead, and notice that the episode’s plot revolves around a writer who lives in Maine and must do battle with an ancient, otherworldly evil with assistance from a plucky local gal and a young boy who happens to have psychic powers of some sort while...

One of Stephen King's most beloved novels is The Stand. It has everything you'd want in a horror story including death, chemical warfare, and notable characters such as the Trashcan Man and Mother Abigail. The book was originally published in 1978 and became a cult hit, especially after it was reprinted in 1990 when King revised some of the story.
