Good story. Not one of his all-time greats for sure, but it hooked me and had some really good King-isms to squirrel away for later.

Good story. Not one of his all-time greats for sure, but it hooked me and had some really good King-isms to squirrel away for later.
In a year of strong King adaptations (if one chooses to ignore The Dark Tower), 1922 was the best of the lot for me. Thomas Jane was incredibly unsettling in the wonderful slow-burner that felt like...
With all the talk about It galvanizing Stephen King adaptations, it’s kinda criminal that Gerald’s Game—a novel that many thought to be unfilmable unless it was through the twisted eyes of Lars von...
One thing that I wasn't crazy about was how they relegated Beverly to the "damsel in distress" archetype at the end. I think it would've been a bolder choice if they'd had Stan be the one who was...
In terms of a coming-of-age story, “It” captured the spirit of the novel magnificently. Every single one of the kids was perfectly cast, and the dynamic brought the magic of the Losers’ Club to life...
I just got back from the 19:19 showing (heh), and I gotta say that with all the issues I had with it, I still was entertained by it.
THE GOOD:
* Idris Elba was a fantastic Roland. He wasn't as...

I'd say a farm boy named Walter Padick begs to differ, Matt. <_<
Yeah I know... probably hasn't...
The more I see of this project, the more I think that it's on track to be the best King adaptation not helmed by Darabont or Reiner. I can feel the love for the novel oozing from each frame, and...
On a semi-unrelated note, I've been listening to the audio books for the first time in order to prep myself for the film (it's been several years since I read the novels). And when listening to The...
They nailed the look, they nailed the feel, and from the looks of it, they nailed the cast. Muschietti's love for the novel oozes out of the detail they've recreated in Derry. Keeping Skarsgard...
I had this idea years ago, where you'd take all of the Castle Rock-set stories and do it as something of a dramatic soap opera, with everything interconnected and ending with the apocalyptic events...

I adore the illustrations of the original "The Gunslinger Born" series, but I haven't really grooved onto the new artwork for the adaptations of the first and second novels.
As for Furth's...
Gugino is a fantastic get. I've always thought her to be a terrific actress who rarely gets the roles to evince her talent. I'm assuming Carel Struycken is the Space Cowboy?
I mean, obviously it's a rough teaser, but I am very much digging what I'm seeing.
Honestly, I think that everything up to the decision Roland makes under the mountains happens in every single loop. But I still believe that it works better if every time he has to draw someone, it's...
If he could mask his heavy accent, Abraham Attah wouldn't be bad. The kid has great gravitas and quite the presence for someone his age. But they'll probably (wisely) go for an unknown.

This is going to entirely hinge on the lead actress, and I really hope they can make The Space Cowboy as chilling as he was in the novel.
On the subject of Oy, I am extremely wary. CGI is almost never convincing and ages rapidly and poorly. If they do decide to bring Oy to the screen, I hope it's through some puppetry, with CGI there...
