Stephen King Book • Page 18

I wasn't too sure after reading the first one, but I'm on the last book now and it's been a really great experience. It's a good way to explore the story again without reading that monster of a book again. And it's about as faithful as an adaptation as it gets, even has the stuff from the unedited version of the book. For the most part they use King's exact words as their script.

 

Interesting - I'll have to check them out.

 

About to pick up book 7, The Dark Tower, and finish my quest. I'm curious, yet terrified of the end of this.

 

This actually looks pretty good. Bill Hodges was cast perfectly.

 

Guess I have another book of his that I need to read ASAP haha.

 

It's an amazing trilogy. I think you'll love it.

 

I was going to read them all in chronological order, but that would take way too long. I’ll probably switch and start with stuff being adapted or that was recently adapted.

 

Gleesom is prettyy great casting. Wasn't Anton yelchin supposed to play Brady?

 

Yep and he was perfectly cast too.

 

I was skeptical about a Bill Hodges tv adaption but that actually looks pretty good (although targeting crowds with vehicles and bombs at pop concerts have somewhat different connotations now)

 

I really wish Yelchin could have been a part of this.

 

Was so looking forward to Yelchin playing Brady. RIP.

 

I don't understand why people don't just shave when it gets to this point

 

Hoping for a fake boy band in Mr Mercedes. I also feel like King wrote some lyrics, though I can't remember specifically, if so, please use those.

I think the new Brady will work too, I liked him on Penny Dreadful. Big difference between him and Anton imo is Anton looked a bit more innocent and this guy looks dastardly as hell.

 

Huh? Did you microwave too much food or something

 

i believe it was a balding joke about the clowns hair.

 

Currently listening to the audiobook of The Stand. I'm really enjoying it so far. Probably going to listen to IT next.

 

Starting book 2 of the Dark Tower series this morning, pretty exciting to finally really dig into this.

 

Hi, I’m Nik Arcel, director of THE DARK TOWER. Ask me anything! • r/movies

 

Does he say what it's rated yet? (I was joking but he hints at the obvious pg13)

"We've definitely thought a lot about the racial tension between Detta and Roland and how casting Idris would affect that. I can't spoil anything, but we're definitely not going to leave this important theme unaddressed. And oh yeah, of course we're going to have Billy-Bumblers - and Oy's one of my favorite characters."

 

It's already been confirmed for pg-13 which is ridiculous

 

Lame i missed that.

 

I am so excited for the new It footage and trailer that is supposed to come out in the next few days.

 

Me too. SO EXCITED!
