Beryl Evans (From DT) Is Coming To Comic Con
Posted: July 8, 2016, 09:43
_
Evans who? You might ask.
Well, Beryl Evans is a fictional author from The Dark Tower who wrote the book Charlie the Cho Cho and now she is at Comic Con signing her book.
What does this mean?
Well, that is hard to say but I would guess that there will be some kind of Dark Tower event at Comic Con this year. Exactly what we don’t know yet though.
Beryl Evans is the name of the author who wrote Charlie the Choo-Choo. In Wolves of the Calla, Beryl Evans' name is changed to Claudia y Inez Bachman when Eddie Dean and Jake Chambers go todash and visit The Manhattan Restaurant of the Mind.
Thanks to Ed for this find!
Cool Korean Contest

The book The Runner by John Rothstein is in face a notebook since Rothstein only exists in King’s mind but it’s a really cool contest if you ask me and as far as I can tell the notebook and shirt only exists in a limited number and can’t be bought.
Where Will The Dark Tower Movie Start?
Posted: July 7, 2016, 15:27

No official announcements have been made about the plot or the additional cast members and won't be until later this month.
So, that makes me hope that we’ll know more about all this soon…

Win A Signed King Book From The Folio Society
Posted: July 5, 2016, 11:57
_
One of the things King Fans are always looking for is a signed book by the master. Years ago you could send a book to King and he would sign it for you. Eventually he had to stop doing that to get time to write his books. Today there are really only two ways of getting a signed King book. One is to attend one of the few signings he’s doing from time to time and the other is to buy a signed book which can be both expensive and risky (chances are you might end up with a fake signature if you don’t go through the right channels).But today there is a third way. You can actually get a copy of The Folio Society’s beautiful first illustrated (illustrations by Edward Kinsella) edition of The Shining (read more about the book or buy a copy on their website) signed by King (there are only a limited number available) for free. Too good to be true? Not at all. All you have to do is enter this contest that I’m running.
To enter the contest you have to show me that you are a fan. And the way you do that is to send me photos of you and King’s books for the photo pages I have on the site. Please make sure it’s one book in each photo and the right book.
Mr Mercedes

Finders Keepers
The Bazaar of Bad Dreams
End of Watch
For the last one, where you show you and Lilja’s Library you can do pretty much what you want as long as you and something connected to Lilja’s Library is in the photo. Check the page out for inspiration.
You and Lilja’s Library
If you send in a photo for all these 6 groups you will be in the drawing for the signed book. Easy right? And because I don’t want to force you to buy the books if you don’t have them you can print the cover from Internet and use that one for any of the books you’re missing.
Send the photos to info[a]liljas-library.com (replace “[a]” with “@”) and do it before August 31st.
So, in other words, you are 6 photos from the chance of having a signed King book. Not a bad place to be in right? Good luck to everyone!

About the Book:
Number 1 bestselling writer Stephen King introduces and presents six gripping and chilling stories in this captivating anthology!
Stephen King discovered these stories when he judged a competition run by Hodder & Stoughton and the Guardian to celebrate publication of his own collection The Bazaar of Bad Dreams. He was so impressed with the entries that he recommended they be published together in one book, which Cemetery Dance Publications and Hodder & Stoughton are pleased to report has become a reality. The six stories are:
WILD SWIMMING by Elodie Harper
EAU-DE-ERIC by Manuela Saragosa
THE SPOTS by Paul Bassett Davies

The Breathing Method Headed to TV
Posted: June 28, 2016, 23:11
_
In 2012, it was announced that Blum was developing The Breathing Method as a feature film project through Universal, with Scott Derrickson (The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Sinister) slated to direct from a script by Scott Teems. There’s no word on whether Derrickson will be involved with the television series. “It’s active,” says Blum. “It’s moving along.”
The Breathing Method, which is the only one of the four novellas from Different Seasons to not yet receive the big screen treatment, tells the bizarrely romantic and heartbreaking story of an elderly Manhattan doctor who recounts his long ago encounter with a pregnant woman who is determined to give birth to her illegitimate child, despite being poor and having no family. As the doctor teaches the woman his unique breathing method, to help her get through childbirth, he falls in love with her.
The television series will focus on the relationship between the doctor and the woman, which begins in the 1930s, which leaves lots of room to explore the relationship between the doctor and the woman’s child, a boy, who is born in the story after his mother is decapitated. He’s then put up for adoption but watched over by the doctor, who keeps track of the boy’s – and the resulting man’s – progress.
No network is currently attached.
I don’t know about you but I’m not that excited about this news. Sounds kind of boring actually. What do you think? Could this be a success if done?
Thanks to Herbert West.

The Mist Starts Filming Next Month?
Posted: June 27, 2016, 15:25
_
Last April, Spike TV announced that production for the original scripted series was beginning this summer and slated to air in 2017.
Two sources close to the production said Wednesday (June 22) that filming is expected to begin next week in the empty Target store in Bedford.
The Bedford Place Mall building will reportedly be used as studio space for the harrowing series.
The Target store has been shuttered since April 2015, when the American retailer closed down all of their 133 Canadian locations after failing to crack the Canadian market.
On Wednesday, there were no obvious signs of TV production but a RONA employee said their store and other surrounding businesses received a notice last week about the filming of a television series.
The employee said the notice indicated production will begin in July and be filmed over a six-month period. A portion of the back parking lot of the mall will be used to park production trailers.
The notice did not disclose the name of the series or the production company. David Schwarz, senior vice-president of communications for Spike TV, said in an emailed statement on Wednesday that production details cannot be confirmed at this time.

Matthew McConaughey Talks DT
Posted: June 27, 2016, 14:24
_
He bids me goodbye to return to The Dark Tower, in which he plays the villainous Man in Black to Idris Elba’s dystopian sci-fi Western hero. Even in that world, good and evil are relative depending on whose shoes you’re standing in. McConaughey considered whether his Walter Padick, the greatest villain in the Stephen King multiverse, would believe himself to be evil incarnate. He pauses. “He sure doesn’t think he is,” he says. “A good villain believes he’s a minister of peace.”

Frances Conroy To Star in The Mist
Posted: June 23, 2016, 22:31

From the pressrelease:
New York, NY, June 23, 2016 – Frances Conroy has signed on to star in Spike’s new scripted series “The Mist.” From TWC-Dimension Television (TV) based on the classic Stephen King novella, “The Mist” goes into production this summer and airs in 2017. The announcement was jointly made today by Sharon Levy, Executive Vice President, Original Series, Spike and Bob Weinstein, Co-Chairman The Weinstein Company.
Conroy has been cast in the role of “Nathalie,” a modern day ecological martyr. While she is seemingly more connected to nature than most people, her instincts about her fellow humans are dead on. Conroy is best known for playing Ruth Fisher on the television series “Six Feet Under.”
