I recently spoke to Sean Parlaman (the guy behind Stud City) about the movie. He then told me that at the moment the movies feature looks rather dark. He told me that his own attempts to head a production of Stud City are over, but that he is hoping that either King's office or a producer in Hollywood, who previously expressed interest in the movie, will find a way to get this story told in a way which respects the original short story and his vision of it in his screenplay.
Let's hope that just that will happen. In the meantime you can head over to The Review Section and read my review of the script for Stud City.
