There are certain elements of the story that are very dated that need to be changed (like the "dig your man" thing), but given people's fear of ebola and other pandemics and the current zombie/post-apocalypse stuff like " Walking Dead", I think it could be really good in the right hands.

WHere do you think it will be cut to make four films? I wouldn't have thought it could be more than three: the characters' pre-plague backstories and the plague up to the pilgrimages to Mother Abigail; the Denver vs. Vegas crowds up to the spies leaving for Vegas; the events with Trashcan Man in Vegas and the return to Denver.
by Anonymous | reply 10 | November 22, 2014 11:47 AM |
Part 1: The plague itself.
Part 2: The journey to Mother Abigail's and Flagg's gathering his forces
Part 3: Societies established in Denver and Vegas, climax with Nadine and Harold setting off the bomb
Part 4: The trek to Vegas
I think that's roughly where they put the cuts in the miniseries.

Everyone knows I have bad taste, but I will say the scenes as the plague spirals out of control are legitimately terrifying. And as one of King's thousand-page tomes, I think it holds together better than a lot of them.

It has been 20 years since I read it, but I remember thinking the beginning was good. I thought it was interesting how he dealt with some of the problems that would occur when you have to maneuver through all of the dead bodies etc. There were also some interesting characters. After that it seemed to drift into some old end of the world clichés and also needed some tightening and editing. If I remember it improved again at the end, and I ended up thinking it was a decent book but not great.

It's interesting to hear what people remember from when we read it years ago.
One strong memory is the high-strung addicted woman in NYC. King made her a vivid character for me. I remember thinking it was such a bizarre concept that,after finding you were one of the very few people left on earth you could commit suicide.
The meal Mother Abigail makes for them when they first arrive. I imagined she was Cicely Tyson.

That's true of many of King's books, R27. I've always figured he has too much power with his publishers and refuses to be edited. He seems to be in love with his own writing, even though far better writers than he were improved by judicious editing. His gift is coming up with interesting plots, not character development or dialogue.

There's something Stephen King won't say about Stanley Kubrick's film. I've heard & read King talk about his hatred of it.
The issues he says he has, don't seem like what he really feels.
I've heard King doesn't like that Kubrick felt the book was about pedophilia. As if Kubrick saw something at a glance that had never occurred to King?
It's almost universally considered a great film. And certainly the best adaptation of his books. So I don't get it.
Any thoughts?
by Anonymous | reply 46 | November 23, 2014 2:50 AM |
I've never heard that Kubrick thought the book was about pedophilia (aside from the idiotic conspiracy theories in Room 234).
Stephen King has always said the issue that he had was that Jack was supposed to be a good man turned evil by the hotel. The reason why he took it so seriously was because Jack was apparently heavily based on himself, and that's why he felt so offended when they cast Jack Nicholson who telegraphed crazy from the first reel.
But the fact that Stephen King chose to write Jack as a recovering alcoholic speaks to an instability in the character that contradicts this idea of a good-man-gone-wrong. Not to say that people who struggle with substance abuse are bad, just that there's roots to someone unsettled who goes someplace that could unleash their darker side.
I think King was insecure about himself and his substance abuse, and that's why he was always so angry about that film. There have been far worse adaptations of his work that took greater liberties with story and character than The Shining.
by Anonymous | reply 47 | November 23, 2014 3:08 AM |
A lot of King's stories feature pedophilia. It,The Talisman,The Library Policeman,Dr. Sleep and Gerald's Game all have scenes where kids are being sexually abused or threatened. I'm not saying King is a pedophile but I wonder if he was a victim of abuse.

Voice of the Night, Reedus as Stu is inspired casting, It would be nice to see that happen over the usual people who will probably be considered for the role ( Cooper, Gyllenhaal, Gosling, Fassbender, Tatum...please no to any of them) I thought I did read that McConaughey was on their wishlist for Flagg. If so, I would not have a problem with that, as long as he was not too hammy. Another decent choice for Stu, Mark Ruffalo.

Angelina Jolie is too ... much for Nadine. Plus this has to be a strong ensemble cast, and she commands too much on-screen attention. I can't stand Anne Hathaway but think she has the right look for Nadine.

McBoingo would overact Flagg.

Mark Ruffalo would be fantastic as Stu, R51. I'm not a McBongo fan, but I think he would make a good Flagg. I agree with everyone that Nichelle Nichols would be an inspired choice for Mother Abigail.
I think this could be a really interesting film series (and the heir apparent to The Lord of the Rings), but seeing as the director of The Fault In Our Stars is now attached to it, I'm not holding out hope that it'll be any good.

r54...yes, I am having nightmares of Shailene Woodley as Frannie. Another rumor is Nat Wolff ( the eventually blind best friend in A Fault in Our Stars) is supposed to have a role in it, probably either as Harold or Nick Andros. Harold is supposed to be a teen and Frannie is around 20-21. The important thing for Flagg is to have someone who is charismatic but can be creepy without overacting the role. Another good chioce for Flagg would be Viggo Mortensen. I kind of like Elizabeth Olsen for Frannie. You need someone youthful but can project maturity beyond her years. And she would't be too much of an age mismatch with whoever plays Stu, who is supposed to be 10 years older in the story. And I do like the idea of Nichelle Nicholas as Mother Abigail.

Owen Teague could be interesting. I've liked him in things I've seen him in.

And of course, Daniel Sunjata's Big Dick energy is always more than welcome. 🤤

Harold is supposed to be FAT FAT FAT. Cast someone from the DL! That's probably the casting I like the least. Tho I also think Marsden is going to pull me out of the Stu fantasy. He's too "known."
Of course, I welcome any cast without Molly-fucking-Ringwald, aka the weakest link in the original. Alex is great as Flagg, I'm fine with the race-recast of Larry, and the new Nick is hawt. This cast is too pretty; and they need some fuggos besides Tom Cullen.
I also hope they re-purpose the score from the original mini-series because that is one of the best and most underrated scores out there. This track in particular still sticks with me!
