Currently Browsing: "Stephen King"

This week on a very special episode of Reject Radio that we forgot to post earlier in the week, I name more than 5 great Stephen King film adaptations and make Robert Fure look like the fool he is, we take a look at Sorority Row, and Diane Lane looks great in a cop uniform.

After declaring we wanted to see an adaptation of “Home Delivery,” it looks like someone was already anticipating our needs and getting the King short story into pre-production.

Instead of remaking Children of the Corn, wouldn’t it be cooler to delve deeper into a prolific author’s other work to adapt some of his best short stories?

Apparently most remakes are unimaginative and add nothing new to the story. So says Bob Weinstein while failing to prove how the upcoming Children of the Corn remake will add anything new.

There’s this group of outcast kids who live in small town America in 1958. They think their biggest worries are the bullies who torment them and the woes of adolescence. But nope, that’s not the worst of it. Deep in the depths of their little town there lives a killer that is the stuff of nightmares. And he’s coming to the big screen.

What could possibly be even better than seeing Daniel Day-Lewis in another movie so soon after his Academy-Award-winning performance as Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood? Another Day-Lewis-Scorcese partnership, that’s what. And that’s exactly what audiences are going to get.

The Creed family has moved to Maine in search of a happy and quiet new life. Unfortunately, they’ll find only anguish, suffering, death, and the supernatural instead.

In what could be the beginning of a new trend, Universal has acquired the rights to a comic book series for adaption into a feature film or possible franchise.

Rumors have been flying about a film adaptation of Stephen King’s “Dark Tower” series. Damon sets the story straight, explains why “Lost” fans matter, and puts William Shatner in his place.

Set in a small town, the film is populated by cardboard cutouts of your standard archetypes: the religious fundamentalist, the haughty fella from the city (black, natch), the reckless small-town simpleton, etc. etc.

For being stuck in one spot nearly the whole time, master director Frank Darabont keeps the tension raised high.

Whether you’re trapped in a store with monsters outside, or trapped in a theater with 300 of your closest friends watching a horror flick, what better way to make things more fun than have a few drinks?

Despite the fact that Darabont has made two films based on King novels, The Mist seems like a very unusual choice for him.

If anyone spoils the ending for me before I see this film I will slay you!

Thanks to a slue of atrocious Oscar wannabe’s this year, I have been relegated to looking forward to films that would normally be well off my radar (read: anything meant to frighten, scare or terrify audiences). One film in particular that has begun to sneak up on my Fall Want List is The Mist, starring Thomas Jane, Andre Brougher and Marcia Gay Harden.

Any time we get to show some love to our good friend Thomas Jane on the site, it’s a good day. While we were galavanting around the streets of San Diego at Comic Con this year, Tom was gracious enough to hang out here and there. We also had the pleasure of meeting up with Frank Darabont, who is a truly nice guy and the director of The Mist, which just so happens to star Thomas Jane. And guess what, we’ve got a look at the latest trailer for the flick that is based on a novel by Stephen King. Get your plastic undies folks, this one looks creepy.
