Filmatiseringen av "Cell" har varit klar under en längre tid. Den har fått ett premiärdatum som sen dragits in och just nu vet inget vad som händer eller när filmen får premiär. Men som lite plåster på såret kan vi i alla fall visa lite bilder ur filmen.

Den åtminstone här i Sverige relativt okända TV-kanalen Spike har beställt ett pilotavsnitt till en TV-serie baserad på Kings The Mist. Planen är att utgå ifrån Kings historia och fortsätta därifrån. Gissningsvis kommer vi få följa de överlevande under deras flykt undan monstren. Inget datum har angetts för när serien kan få premiär.


Vår recension av filmen när den kom 2007

I en intervju bekräftar nu Peter Straub det vi redan gissat oss till...att The Talisman 3 dröjer. Förmodligen så länge som två-tre år...


Q. So is there any truth to the rumors that a third “Talisman" book is forthcoming?

Straub: I certainly hope so. It’s totally dependent on the patience of my saintly collaborator, Steve King. We were supposed to start it three or four years ago, but I had medical problems that stopped me in my tracks. Then I had problems with a book I was doing … so we’re no closer to being able to start it. But part of the reason he’s so patient is we have a great idea for the book. I won’t tell you what it is, but there was a famous story that happened in the world when we were young. He kept a scrapbook about it and so did I, him in Maine and me in Milwaukee. It has a lot of juice in it, and he and I both feel that way about it, so we are eager to do this book. I think he’ll cut me a break and let me go a year or two and then we’ll start working on it.

Här är det engelska omslaget till End of Watch som släpps den 7 juni i USA och England. Tittar ni noga ser ni att det rör sig...


Plottbeskrivning som kan innehålla mindre spoilers på de två första böckerna i trilogin (Mr. Mercedes och Finders Keepers)...

IN ROOM 217 OF THE LAKES REGION TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY CLINIC, SOMETHING HAS AWAKENED. SOMETHING EVIL.

Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of the Mercedes Massacre, where eight people were killed and many more were badly injured, has been in the Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic for five years, in a vegetative state. According to his doctors, anything approaching a complete recovery is unlikely. But behind the drool and stare, Brady is awake, and in possession of deadly new powers that allow him to wreak unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room.

Retired police detective Bill Hodges, the unlikely hero of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers, now runs an investigation agency with his partner, Holly Gibney, who delivered the blow to Hartsfield's head that put him on the brain injury ward. Brady also remembers that. When Bill and Holly are called to a murder-suicide with ties to the Mercedes Massacre, they find themselves pulled into their most dangerous case yet, one that will put not only their lives at risk, but those of Hodges’s friend Jerome Robinson and his teenage sister, Barbara. Because Brady Hartsfield is back, and planning revenge not just on Bill Hodges and his friends, but on an entire city.

In End of Watch, Stephen King brings the Hodges trilogy to a sublimely terrifying conclusion, combining the detective fiction of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers with the supernatural suspense that has been his trademark. The result is an unnerving look at human vulnerability and up-all-night entertainment.

Nu har 11.22.63 fått ett premiärdatum i Sverige. Den kommer att visas på kanalen FOX med start den 11 april. Ni hittar mer info här.
