Samuel L. Jackson Cast For Revival?
Posted: February 11, 2016, 09:12

Could Revival have found its preacher?
A source close to the production tells EW that Samuel L. Jackson is circling the very meaty role of Charles Jacobs in the adaptation of Stephen King’s Revival. Josh Boone, who directed The Fault in Our Stars, has written the script and will helm the project, with Michael de Luca on board as producer.
The character of Charles Jacobs is one of King’s most interesting and complex: he’s a charismatic, small-town preacher who begins experimenting with the supernatural using electricity after his wife and child are killed in an accident. This is a story from the mind of Stephen King, so things only get more twisty and darker from there.
No word yet as to who is in talks to play the lead character, Jamie Morton.

King Is Between Books

King's next book, End of Watch, comes out one June 7th. It's the conclusion of a trilogy that began in 2014 with Mr. Mercedes and continued last year with Finders Keepers. He has yet to begin work on his next work. "I'm between books," he says. "Right now. I'm just promoting 11.22.63."

King on Dark Tower Movie: It's Likely to Happen
Posted: February 10, 2016, 00:15
_
"It looks to me like it's more likely than not it'll happen at this point. Let's put it that way."
"I think that it's more likely than not that Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey will be in it. But I can't say with any certainty. I know that they're trying to make deals with these actors [and] with Sony, and that's the extent of my knowledge."
King also said he want to write about Jericho Hill:
"I'm never done with The Dark Tower. The thing about The Dark Tower is that those books were never edited, so I look at them as first drafts. And by the time I got to the fifth or sixth book, I'm thinking to myself, 'This is really all one novel.' It drives me crazy. The thing is to try to find the time to rewrite them. There's a missing element – a big battle at a place called Jericho Hill. And that whole thing should be written; I've thought about it several times, and I don't know how to get into it."
"I'd have to go back, read all the material before I could get myself in a frame of mind to do that. So, man, I just don't know. I'm a pretty instinctual writer, and I don’t have any game plan. I’m very unprofessional about that part of it; I can strap myself down in a chair and write every day, but the ideas come when they come. Maybe it will come time to write the Jericho Hill thing one day too."

“I think the issue of an America awash in guns is one every citizen has to think about,” said King. “If this helps provoke constructive debate, I’ve done my job. Once I finished writing ‘Guns’ I wanted it published quickly.”

It’s once again time for a contest here at Lilja’s Library. This one is the first one to celebrate the 20 years that Lilja’s Library has been online. And to win all you have to do is to tell me what your best Lilja’s Library memory (from these 20 years) are. And it doesn’t matter if it’s something from yesterday or something from 1996 that is totally up to you. I will then pick the winner.
