The UK DVD version of Kingdom Hospital is now out. You can pre-order it here.

There has also been some info released about the US DVD of Kingdom Hospital.

This is from the Stephenking.com message board:

Question: I heard on the radio in their entertainment that Mr.King and HBO are in talks to move K.H to HBO, any truth to that?

Response from Moderator: Not that I'm aware of. There is another project being discussed, though, and as soon as I get the green light, I'll post information about that.


I have no idea what the project might be but there has been some rumors that HBO is interested in The Dark Tower...

Thanks to Bob I.

According to the moderator at King's message board The July 30th edition of EW has an article rather than the column in the back. The title is Now Hear This.

Thanks to Bev Vincent and Paul.
