Footage From IT Part 2
Posted: December 10, 2018, 22:20
_
"Thankfully, they did share a behind-the-scenes sizzle reel, which looked like the type of video a studio would share with promotional partners to get them excited about the sequel. In the video, we saw director Andy Muschietti talk about what he hopes to accomplish with the anticipated sequel, saying it will be serious, more intense, and have scarier moments. The video also showed some pre-production artwork, including the different departments working on the film.
"Another part of the video showed new cast members Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, and others talking about what the film is about. There wasn’t much footage from the film, but we did see a shot of the cast together walking across a bridge.
"My favorite part, however, was some video from the very first table read. While we didn’t get to see the cast reading any lines, the video showed this massive table with every cast member listed getting ready to read the script."

Interview With Bill Thompson pt. 2
Posted: November 21, 2018, 11:56
_
It’s interesting to hear what Thompson said about The Blue Air Compressor (now released in Shining in the Dark) back in 1977.
The Blue Air Compressor - It’s precious author talk for one thing and also distasteful. It doesn’t come close to being a take-off of horror fiction. Let’s keep it in the drawer.

Elevation Is Out! What's Next?
Posted: October 31, 2018, 23:47
_
Yes, my understanding is that it's planned for a release in (US) autumn 2019. I can't reveal the title or any other details at this time, though, as no official announcement has been made. The book is already written and may have gone through the final edits--that part I don't have up-to-date information about.
How excited are you about a new King book in the fall of 2019? Comment bellow!

The latest book to be turned into a TV series seems to be Joyland. Bloody Disgusting reports that this will be done by Freeform. No details about how many episodes yet but Chris Peña (Jane the Virgin) and Cyrus Nowrasteh (The Stoning of Soraya M.) will write the pilot and produce. Bill Haber’s Ostar Productions (Valor) will exec produce.It was earlier reported that it would be a feature film Tate Taylor.

My thoughts on Elevation
Posted: October 30, 2018, 00:00
_
Here are my thoughts on Elevation.I really like Elevation. It’s a sad book but to be honest, that is how I want my books, at least sometime. It makes them interesting when everything isn’t always fixed and put right. It’s the way life is. Sometime life hits you where it hurts and this time it happens in King’s story.
And the fact that King himself narrates the audio book is the icing on the cake.

The Ghost Brothers Will Rise Again
Posted: October 24, 2018, 15:55

A revised version of Stephen King and John Mellencamp’s Ghost Brothers of Darkland County will be available for stock and amateur licensing in 2019.
Broadway Licensing is working with Stephen King and John Mellencamp to develop a new version of their musical Ghost Brothers of Darkland County for worldwide licensing, which will be made available in 2019.
The Gothic southern musical, which premiered in 2012 at Atlanta's Alliance Theatre, explores a decades-old tragedy that haunts the population of a small town. Grammy winner Mellencamp (“Pink Houses,” “Jack and Diane,” “Small Town”) penned the score, while Carrie, Misery, and The Shining novelist King wrote the book.
A studio album of Ghost Brothers of Darkland County, recorded in 2010, was released from Hear Records/Concord Records Group. The musical also played a limited concert tour.
“This is terrific news. I loved working with John Mellencamp, and the ghostly result is one of my most proud accomplishments,” King said in a statement.
Mellencamp added, “When Steve and I decided to mount a musical… neither of us knew what we were doing. We learned on the job. I have never had so much fun or laughed so hard in my life.”

Here are my thoughts about the seventh episode of season 2 of Mr. Mercedes.I like Dr. Babineau but his wife I don’t really care for. She is a very flat character that you don’t like or dislike (even if it’s more of the later). You just don’t care about her.

He also mentions that the movie will acknowledge Kubrick’s The Shining. it’s not clear exactly what that means though.
“Yeah, I think you do,” Flanagan said. “I think you do have to acknowledge that. There is no version of the world where I am trying not to acknowledge one of the greatest films ever made. There’s no upside in shying away from that reality.”
How do you feel about that? Good? Bad? Comment bellow!
