By: Sean O’Connell Ben Mezrich isn’t Stephen King, James Patterson or Nicholas Sparks. Not yet, anyway. But he is one of those authors whose literary works regularly find their way across the desks of Hollywood decision makers who believe the plots he uncovers would make for great movies. Sometimes they do. Mezrich’s Accidental Billionaires gave way to David Fincher’s Facebook opus, The Social Network. Earlier, the movie 21 — about math … Continue reading Ben Mezrich’s Seven Wonders Proposal Picked Up By Fox
By: Nick Venable News of a Stephen King adaptation generally draws extreme reactions – either disgust or clueless joy. I’ll cop to being part of that latter group, though my enthusiasm is always kept in check by the sheer number of of projects he regularly has in development. As fans lay in wait for further development of 11/22/63, The Stand and The Dark Tower, at least one long-gestating project is … Continue reading Paranormal Activity 2 Director The Latest To Take On Stephen King’s Cell
By: Eric Eisenberg Frank Darabont has proven himself a skilled filmmaker and storyteller when it comes to the work of Stephen King and Robert Kirkland, but his next big effort takes him into uncharted waters, a.k.a. kaiju territory.

By: Sean O’Connell Stephen King’s short story Gramma was published in Weirdbook magazine back in 1984. And while countless King stories have made their way to the silver screen over the years (decades, really), Gramma has long been overlooked. Not any more. Peter Cornwell is stepping up to direct the horror thriller, using the title Mercy, and casting officially is underway. THR says that Super … Continue reading Stephen King’s Mercy Adds Super 8, Walking Dead Kid Co-Stars
By: Sean O’Connell Warner Bros.’ planned adaptation of Stephen King’s massive The Dark Tower series has stalled. Last we heard, the studio passed on an elaborate plan that would have spread King’s story across multiple feature films and a television series. But even though the project’s on the shelf, that hasn’t stopped fans in high places from speculating on the franchise’s future. Case in point: … Continue reading Aaron Paul Wants To Play Eddie Dean In Stephen King’s The Dark Tower
By: Eric Eisenberg While I didn’t like Scott Derrickson’s latest film, Sinister, because of its overdone plot, it’s actually a very competently directed movie. Even when the story wasn’t bringing the scares, the filmmaker was able to create a terrific, creepy atmosphere using smart camera placement and movement. He seems to have a knack for horror and just needs a proper story to tell. Well, … Continue reading Sinister Director Scott Derrickson To Direct Adaptation Of Stephen King’s The Breaking Method
