Recap & Thoughts On Episode 10 Of The Mist

Posted: August 25, 2017, 05:01
_
Here are my recap/thoughts on episode 10 (Season Finale) of The Mist. Please let me know what you think.

So far no word on a second season but if they get a second chance and if they do it right I still think they can make this show work. But no more horsemen or moths that gives men wings. We need scary not strange!

Fantastic Fest 2017: 1922 & Gerald's Game

Posted: August 13, 2017, 20:43
_
Here are some info about 1922 and Gerald’s Game from Fantastic Fest 2017.

1922
USA, 2017
World Premiere, 101 mins
Director – Zak Hilditch
1922 is based on Stephen King’s 131-page story telling of a man’s confession of his wife’s murder. The tale is told from from the perspective of Wilfred James, the story’s unreliable narrator who admits to killing his wife, Arlette, in Nebraska. But after he buries her body, he finds himself terrorized by rats, and as his life begins to unravel, he becomes convinced his wife is haunting him.

Gerald’s Game
USA, 2017
US Premiere, 103 mins
Director – Mike Flanagan
Flanagan unites with master of the macabre Stephen King for his cinematic interpretation of King’s beloved GERALD’S GAME. Starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood, GERALD’S GAME delivers pitch-perfect performances in a faithful adaptation where the horrors of the mind are much worse than what’s in front of you.

On the first print run of the UK edition of Sleeping Beauties there will be four versions of the cover. On the book itself (under the dustjacket) there will be either a tiger, a snake, a moth or a fox. But be quick if you want all four. It’s just the first print run that will have all four.


Lurking behind the dust jacket on the first UK hardback print run of Sleeping Beauties you’ll find four hidden covers printed on the board, featuring beautiful foiled animal illustrations.

If you’re ordering online the one you receive will be random, or you can head to your local bookstore and seek out your favourite. Look out for the sticker on the cover of the first print run.

The Outsider; New King Book

Posted: August 9, 2017, 19:49
_
In a Q&A with USA Today King reveals that his next book is called The Outsider. No release date was revealed but a guess is 2018.

Anything you want to spill about The Outsider?

Nope. Well, there’s a lot of things I want to say about that, but I can’t. It’s too cool to talk about right now. All I can say is it won’t be out in 2017 because I’ve got enough going on.

Muschietti Interview & Pennywise Photo

Posted: August 6, 2017, 03:46
_
Here is an interview with Andy Muschietti and a new photo of Pennywise.

If the Muschiettis get their way, It will just be the first of several Stephen King-related projects to make it to the screen. The siblings own the rights to King’s sci-fi horror short The Jaunt, which was first published in 1981.

But they really want to tackle a big-screen redo of 1983’s Pet Sematary.

“We’re huge fans of Pet Sematary,” Muschietti says. “If we can get our hands on that and do the Pet Sematary we want to do, that will be something. One day, maybe.”

A New King Book Ready For Next Year

Posted: August 4, 2017, 00:53
_
Birth. Movies. Death.attended a Q&A with King just before they got a first look at The Dark Tower movie. You can read the entire thing over at their site but I want to highlight one VERY INTERESTING thing that King said.

Can you talk about what you’re working on now?

No.

[Laughs] Worth a shot.

There’s a book done for next year and there’s a book I wrote with my son called Sleeping Beauties that’s out next month, and he and I are going to go on tour. It’s nice to be able to write a book with your son. He told me what to do and I did it. It’s a preview of the old folks home.

So, there you have it. King didn't give us any info about what the book was about. If it's the book about Holly from Mr Mercedes or something totally different but...We will have a new King book next year!

Castle Rock Filming

Castle Rock will be filming in Orange next week.



Orange dresses up as ‘Castle Rock’ for Stephen King Hulu series

ORANGE — Town Hall will not be closed on Aug. 8, but you can expect delays when production crews film scenes in downtown Orange and at the First Universalist Church for “Castle Rock,” an upcoming series inspired by the works of horror writer Stephen King.

Joseph Stargensky, a freelance location manager for Hulu, the subscription video-on-demand service producing “Castle Rock,” said traffic will be detoured around the center of town for the early part of the day, but he did not see a reason to close Town Hall. He said the main intersection will close from 5:30 a.m. to noon so filming can last from 7 a.m. until noon. Filming, he said, will move to the church on North Main Street in the afternoon.

Downtown businesses will remain open to pedestrian traffic during filming.
