It was a beloved horror film of mine while I was growing up, and by beloved I mean it terrified me immensely and made me never look at clowns the same way again (in hindsight, I was way too young to be watching it.). The Stephen King novel that the mini-series was based on is even scarier and one that continues …

Much like Stephen King’s dark fantasy magnus opus itself, the feature film adaptation of The Dark Tower series has been a sprawling affair spanning years, with surprising plot twists, some true “F–k yeah!” moments and even controversial decisions along the way. And the last two pieces of news on the film would actually respectively fit those last two categories perfectly …

The Stand is one of the most beloved of Stephen King’s books and one which a lot of people, including me, are excited to see making its way to the big screen. It is a massive story and certainly no easy feat to bring to the cinemas, but was something that director Josh Boone was prepared to do in a …

Stephen King discusses his dislike for Stanley Kubrick's THE SHINING

I’m not a big fan of The Shining and in fact, (and this might get me a lot of hate) I’m not a big fan of much of Stanley Kubrick’s work at all. It’s not that he doesn’t have flair and style, he packs that in bucket loads, it’s that for me he has always missed the most important part …

Remember that time Joss Whedon made a black & white Shakespeare feature film adaptation while he was busy shooting The Avengers? Well, allow JJ Abrams to show you his bit of onemanupship: Despite the fact that he’s currently busy with one of the biggest and most highly anticipated sci-fi films of all time, he still found the time to collaborate …

Matthew McConaughey wanted for lead role in THE DARK TOWER

The Dark Tower is an epic work of fiction that took decades to realize. For a while there, it looked like that second part was also going to apply to its feature film adaptation. Stephen King’s fantasy book series is a daunting sprawling meta-story that incorporates characters and events from several of his other literary works, so it’s no wonder …
