Riding the Bullet screenings

Posted: March 9, 2005, 00:00

Mick Garris sent me an email today in witch he told me that he will be at the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film for the screening of Riding the Bullet 24 March.

He also told me that he would be the Filmmaker Guest of Honor at the World Horror Convention in New York City from 7-10 April. There he will be screening Riding the Bullet as well as showing a teaser for Master of Horrors and the opening several minutes of Desperation in rough-cut form.

How about that? You can also pre-order the DVD of Riding the Bullet if you can't be there.

Amazon is now shipping The Dark Tower concordance vol. 2 by Robin Furth.

The 2nd Annual Dollar Baby Fest will be held in Orono, Maine, October 2005 and they open the submissions in April. The plan at the moment is to divide the Dollar Babies into two screenings so they can show them all. Again, the money would be going to the Wavedancer Foundation. More news to come...

No Desperation in May

Posted: March 1, 2005, 23:03
_

Fangoria.com reports that Desperation WON'T air in May. The good news is that Mick sent me this really cool photo from the set.

Despite what you may have read elsewhere, Mick Garris' ABC telemovie version of Stephen King’s DESPERATION won’t be airing during this May’s sweeps period. "We don’t deliver until June, and ABC has used up their promotional budget for the season, so it ain’t going to be pushed for May," Garris tells Fango. "It’s possibly going to be November. Or the following February…or May 2006."

Advance word on DESPERATION, which the author himself praised at www.stephenking.com, is running high. "Both King and the network got the finished cut, and both are extremely enthusiastic," adds Garris, who begins prepping his next dream project, the all-star MASTERS OF HORROR series, tomorrow in Vancouver. —Tony Timpone, Fangoria.com

Mick Garris reports the following about his part in the upcoming TV series based on Nightmares and Dreamscapes:

"I was one of the guys asked to write and direct an episode of 'Nightmares & Dreamscapes,' which TNT is doing. I've written the script based on 'Home Delivery.' They're waiting for a production order. I'm not otherwise involved: just a hired hand."

Nightmares & Dreamscape comes to TV

Posted: March 1, 2005, 11:15

A TV series based on King's collection Nightmares and Dreamscapes is being produced by TNT. Here is what Broadcasting Cable wrote about it:

Bill Haber and his Ostar Enterprises are developing this limited series based on the book of short stories by Stephen King. The deal calls for Ostar to develop scripts for eight one-hour episodes. Mick Garris (The Stand, Sleepwalkers) and Mike Robe (News at Eleven, Guts and Glory: The Rise and Fall of Oliver North), Peter Filardi (TNT’s Salem’s Lot, Flatliners), Larry Cohen (Phone Booth, Cellular), April Smith (The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, Ernie Kovacs: Between the Laughter) and Richard Christian Matheson (Mobius, Dean Koontz’s Sole Survivor) have signed to pen scripts for the series. NIGHTMARES & DREAMSCAPES is based on Stephen King’s 1993 anthology of 20 short stories, whose subjects include murderous revenge, dead rock stars, zombies, an evil toy and a wicked stepfather, to name a few.

According to The Futon Critic it will air on TNT.

Thanks to Bev Vincent.

Here is the answer to the question many of you have been asking me (from King's message board):

Q: Hello, I have heard that Mr. King will be signing the limited edition of Transgressions. Can you Please tell me if this is true?

Response from Moderator: Because it is a small run (only 200 copies for distribution to the public), he has recently agreed to do so.

I talked to Mick Garris today about King's comments on Desperation and he said that they had gotten a reaction from the network, and that they absolutely love the film, and none of the violence that King mentions in his piece is going to be lost. How about that?

Here is an update from Frank Darabont about the status of The Mist. He gave the comment to the moderator of King's official message board:

King comments about Desperation

Posted: February 24, 2005, 23:01
_
King put this comment about Desperation yesterday:

Comments on Desperation from Stephen King
I ordinarily don’t comment far in advance on films based on my work, especially TV films, but in the case of Desperation I am going to make an exception because my old partner in crime, Mick Garris, has produced an extraordinary piece of work, and the ensemble cast is outstanding. Ron Perlman as Collie Entragian will haunt your dreams. You might want to consider making time in May (tentative) for this one, which is when ABC plans to run it.

One word of warning: this is TV and it’s impossible to tell in advance how much of a given piece of work will be cut. The version of Desperation I saw was graphic and very frightening. This may make the network uneasy.

Article about Ghost Brothers

Mellencamp, author King collaborate on musical

Even though John Mellencamp is prepping for his first tour in three years, he's managed to carve out a little time for Stephen King.

Not a Stephen King novel, mind you, but the man himself.

What started out as a conversation between old friends has morphed into plans for a full-blown musical theater production.

Mellencamp has known King since both men were first forging their respective careers. He pitched his story idea to his friend years ago. Mellencamp developed the story but knew it was too long for a song.

The tale, set in the 1940s, revolved around a family facing the residual effects of a long-ago murder between brothers.

King took the story idea and set to work.

What Mellencamp got back was a fully evolved tale of Americana with his own story now a mere portion of a greater vision.

"I had a short story, and he turned it into a novel. Now, it's very involved," he said. "Steve is a great storyteller."

Mellencamp says the story stays away from the horror genre, leaning more toward the mystical, not unlike King's "The Green Mile."

"It's not ‘Cujo' meets ‘Jack & Diane,'" Mellencamp jokes.

Set in Louisiana, the production has allowed Mellencamp to explore zydeco, folk and jazz musical styles. "It gives me a chance to not write John Mellencamp songs."

He sees the play as having a Tennessee Williams feel.

With a first official reading set for March, Mellencamp has expectations for his little side project — high expectations.

"We will have it on Broadway," he says.

Of course, before Mellencamp can bring his musical to Broadway's New York audiences, he'll bring his music to the masses with his "Words and Music" tour, kicking off March 23.

King and Mellencamp's first official reading

King has a new column in the February 18 issue of Entertainment Weekly entitled The 14 Lessons of "24". Please be warned though. If you haven't seen all four episodes of 24 you DON'T want to read this one. Apparently it contains very BIG spoilers! Now you're warned, the decision is up to you.

Transgressions, Carrie audio and Dollar Baby

Posted: February 15, 2005, 00:00
_
King's office told me the despite what the publisher says it's not 100% certain that King will sign the limited ed of Transgressions. When asked about it the moderator of King's official message board gave the following reply:

When I asked Stephen he didn't recall having agreed to sign any and hasn't received any tip sheets but we would have to double-check the contract to be 100% sure. We want to have his agent also check with the publisher to make sure there isn't a misunderstanding about this. Typically, though, with a May publication date coming rightup, tip sheets would have been signed by now so they could be sent to the bindery.

I'm listening to the new audio edition of Carrie and according the Simon & Schuster Audio it has a new introduction that King reads himself.

After The Road Virus Heads North director Dave Brock does a new Dollar Baby. This time it's The Library Policeman. He is hoping to start shooting late this year/early 2006.

Thanks to Stephen King Short Movies.

And finally, IGN Filmforce says Kennedy assured the press that David Fincher's Benjamin Button is moving forward this summer. She said they will eventually get around to making Stephen King's The Talisman, but right now there's no director or start date for production.
Thanks to .

Here is part of an interview with Kathleen Kennedy that Dark Horizons did and this is what she had to say about The Talisman.

Dark Horizon: What's going on with Talisman? Is there a director attached?
Kathleen Kennedy: I wish there was. Well eventually get around to doing that. We love that story.
Dark Horizon: How long?
Kathleen Kennedy: We couldn't speculate because its all about finding the right person.

King's office now confirms that King's story in the book New Beginnings is the same as in McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories. The title of it is Lisey and the Madman and it's an excerpt from the upcoming book Lisey's Story.

Now you can download Culture Pub, which is a French TV program that was broadcasted in 2001 on M6 (a French channel). This one from 2001 is about Stephen King's and there are few King's ads for interviews, and books. You can find it at stephenkingshortmovies.com.

As reported earlier the third part in The Mangler series is in the making. Its title is Mangler Reborn and here is an interview with the people doing it; Matt Cunningham and Erik Gardner.

Some info about King's contribution to the book New Beginnings has now been revealed on his official message board. Unfortunately it's not so good news if they are correct.

Question: Dear Moderator, I'm curious to know if Mr. King's short story Lisey and the Madman which was published in McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories, is the same one that will appear in New Beginnings collection for tsunami relief ?

Response from Moderator: That's my understanding.

So, that would mean that if you got McSweeney's Enchanted Chamber of Astonishing Stories there isn't anything new in New Beginnings.

This is form King's official site:

A Special Message from Stephen
In addition to being Inauguration Day, January 20th is Not One Damn Dime Day. This is a chance for those who oppose what is happening in our name in Iraq to speak up with a 24-hour national boycott in all forms of consumer spending. Even if you are one of those who approve of our actions in Iraq, where the American death toll continues to rise to the number of Americans lost in the World Trade Center disaster, Not One Damn Dime Day is your chance to protest the bloated cost of President Bush's Inauguration ceremonies, which are now estimated in the $40 million range. I think even fiscal conservatives and die-hard Republicans would agree, this is a shameful amount of money to spend on a party when children are dying in Indonesia. I don't intend to spend a damn cent on January 20th, let alone a damn dime. I urge you to do the same and I urge you to pass this message along to everyone on your email list.

Being such a fun of king as I am, I would really like to know what is he doing now, and I mean, is he writing, working with any movie, miniserie, what?

Response from Moderator: Most recently he's been working again on the project with John Mellencamp that had been put on the back burner while he was doing The Dark Tower, Kingdom Hospital and Faithful. He's also written a couple of short stories and a novel.

That means he has a the Mellencamp project, new novel, a couple of short stories and maybe a new television show, not bad!
