Children of the Corn...again?
Posted: August 8, 2006, 22:43
_
I don't have any other information for you guys other than that a remake of Fritz Kiersch's classic 1984 film, Children of the Corn, is in the works. I'm going to try and find out more information on the film, like who owns the rights and who's writing the script, but talk has begun to circulate heavily around the industry this past week. Adapted from a Stephen King story, the pic follows a young couple who wander into a mid-western town where all the adults are apparently dead and the children participate in a cult that worships a malevolent force in the corn fields.

Reports from An Evening with Harry, Carrie & Garp
Posted: August 4, 2006, 00:39
_
As most of you know King participated in the event An Evening with Harry, Carrie & Garp at New York's Radio City Music Hall on August 1 and 2. Well, now there are some reports about it online. Here are a few:Earthtimes.org
WCFCourier.com
During the event King also talked about an idea he had that might turn into a book in the future.
Well, it's one of those idea germs that could end up as something completely different when it gets written. He said he had a flash about a character meeting a woman he or she hasn't seen in 20 years and she looks EXACTLY THE SAME as she used to look back then, except she's gotten a lot larger (he wasn't specific about this. He didn't say fat or tall, just larger). His mind is cogitating over what might give rise to such a thing.

Although our source was very secure (and double checked), George Clooney's publicist tells us that he will not be in Paramount's remake of Pet Sematary. We're going to look further into this story as it appears that they are beginning to cast the film.

Good ratings for Nightmares & Dreamscapes

The TNT anthology "Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King" scared up strong ratings in its Wednesday debut, finishing No. 1 and No. 2 in basic cable for the night with back-to-back episodes.
The first installment of the anthology, the William Hurt-starring "Battleground," drew 5.2 million total viewers at 9 p.m. More importantly, its 18-49 and 25-54 demo totals were the highest a scripted cable series has seen year-to-date, topping a mark set last week by the new USA Network drama "Psych."
A second "Nightmares" episode at 10 p.m., "The Crouch End," reached 4.8 million.

"Grey's Anatomy" star Kate Walsh has signed on to star opposite John Cusack in Dimension Films' bigscreen Stephen King adaptation 1408, according to Variety. The film, which goes before the cameras this summer in the U.K., also will star Samuel L. Jackson. Cusack plays a debunker of paranormal occurrences who encounters real terror when he checks into the notorious Room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel. Walsh plays his ex-wife and mother of his young daughter. Mikael Hafstrom ("Derailed") is helming the pic, penned by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski. Matt Greenberg wrote the original script. Lorenzo Di Bonaventura is producing. King's "1408" short story originally was part of an audio book and was subsequently published in the collection "Everything's Eventual."

The Secretary of Dreams update
Posted: June 17, 2006, 00:11
_
While The Secretary of Dreams by Stephen King is going through the last round of proofreading, Glenn Chadbourne has updated and modified a number of pages of the artwork, fixing small errors and making them even more detailed than before! Those of you who have seen his work in our other books (The Illustrated Stephen King Trivia Book, Cold River, Bedbugs, plus the endpapers for The Road to the Dark Tower and Stephen King: Uncollected, Unpublished, just to name a few!) know the level of detail we're talking about. There are items hidden in the artwork that you'll be finding years after you read it for the first time! To fully display the details of Chadbourne's amazing artwork, we decided on a 9 X 12 trim size for the book. This will be our tallest and widest book ever, and the final page count has come in at 281 pages. The Secretary of Dreams will be headed to the printer this month and we'll post a firm publication date once they're rolling and they give us a delivery date!
