Fart City posted:Which apparently won't be the case in the movie because the rights to The Stand are held by another studio. Which sucks. Though suitably enough, didn't that most recent attempt to remake The Stand also cast McConaughey as Flagg?

I really enjoyed Wolves of the Calla. But I feel like Song of Susannah was entirely pointless. That is definitely an entry where it felt like nothing happened. I'm not even sure if I remember a single plot point from it, actually.

3Romeo posted:The first seventy or so pages won't have a lot of context except for King's preface (his "Argument"); they're the follow-up to a cliffhanger where Roland (the last gunslinger), Eddie Dean (a heroin addict from 1980 New York), Susannah Dean (his wife, a civil rights activist from the 1960's, who is missing her legs and is actually a hybrid of two personalities, the Hyde of which came from a brick dropped on her head), Jake Chambers (a boy who's died twice and come back from a different, 1970's New York), and Oy (a billy-bumbler, an animal that can kind of talk but is like a raccoon mixed with a Corgi) are on board a pink, bullet-shaped train named Blaine, and are in a riddling contest for their lives. The first 70 pages of so of Wizard and Glass also will be better understood if you've read The Stand.

At Comc-Con, to promote the movie, Sony and IGN teamed up with a local bar to turn it into the Dixie Pig. I wonder if that means that we'll see that in the movie, or if they safely chose something that the movie wasn't going to touch to use to promote it? http://io9.gizmodo.com/a-san-diego-bar-transformed-into-the-dark-towers-dixie-1797149441

That's awesome, both that the Dixie Pig will be in it, and they'll actually have lobstrosities, even if in a background cameo. Though sadly I guess no dad-a-chuck, did-a-chee?

According to Wikipedia, the girl in the village that Jake kind of flirts with is Susan Delgado? WTF? Not even a single did-a-chack, dum-a-chee in the movie, either.

biracial bear for uncut posted:I mean, they're remaking The Mist of all things into a miniseries. They could've had thinnies and everything in the Dark Tower movies/mini-series along with it as part of that universe. I did think that in Jake's dream at the start, with the Dark Tower being destroyed and the Todash beings coming over New York, that it was made to resemble the clouds from the beginning of the Mist movie. I do wish we had gotten an actual lobstrosity in here and then in the Mist, though. For some reason, I just really want to see a lobstrosity. The funny thing is, the adaptation of 11-22-63 of all things included a ton of references to other King works. They even had a Flagg cameo.

DLC Inc posted:Sony if you want to really make money with Stephen King properties do one of the Bachman Books, preferably Running Man or The Long Walk I have to believe that whichever studio has the rights is frantically working to make a new version of the Running Man that is nothing but a vehicle for references to Donald Trump.
