Stephen King’s ‘Mile 81’ Getting An Adaptation

Stephen King adaptations just keep coming (not that we are complaining). Only one day after the trailer was released for the reboot of King’s Pet Sematary, news comes, via Deadline, that Alistar Legrand has now signed on to direct the adaptation of King’s novella Mile 81 from the script penned by Legrand and Luke Harvest. The tale, which was originally an e-book, was later expanded as part of King’s The Bazaar of Bad Dreams collection. “Set around a remote, boarded-up rest stop, the film will follow 12-year-old Pete, his brother, and a group of strangers who must fight to survive as they’re hunted by a mysterious force.” Legrand is the same director behind 2015’s supernatural film The Diabolical and the 2017 thriller Clinical. Ross M. Dinerstein, who produced the adaptation of King’s 1922, will serve as producer for Mile 81 which is headed to the European Film Market in Berlin. Mile 81 follows a long list of King adaptations headed

Stephen King’s New Novel ‘The Institute’ Coming This September

We’ve been talking a lot about Stephen King lately, what can we say, the man popular. This time we have news on the master or horror’s latest novel, The Institute. This September the novel will take readers to a dark place, where children with special gifts are kidnapped and imprisoned by the evil Mrs. Sigsby. The synopsis goes like this: “In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis’s parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there’s no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents—telekinesis and telepathy—who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and ten-year-old Avery Dixon. They are all in Front Half. Others, Luke learns, graduated

“Lucifer” Premiering On Netflix Later This Year

Fans of “Lucifer” (the show, not the entity) were heartbroken last year when they found out that Fox had axed the supernatural series. But thanks to their dedication and determination, Netflix payed attention and swooped in and saved the show from certain death. The question is, when will season 4 premiere? And we can answer that, sort of. The fourth season of “Lucifer” is set to premiere on the streaming giant this Spring. The exact day is still a mystery, but at least we have a time frame. Not only is the series based on the DC comic book character, but it is also a crime series where Lucifer (Tom Ellis) and his police partner (Lauren German) solve crimes, all why Lucifer lives a playboy life and runs his night club.

Blu-ray Review: The House with a Clock in Its Walls (2018)

Young orphan Lewis (Owen Vaccaro) is the type of kid that takes to memorizing dictionaries rather than engaging in the folly of youth. Anyway, Lewis soon takes up residence with his eccentric clock obsessed uncle Jonathon (Jack Black) in his Victorian mansion…a mansion filled with living furniture and more magic than most households (which admittedly hover somewhere around zero on the magic-o-meter). It doesn’t take Lewis long to learn that Jonathan is a real life warlock, and his associate Florence Zimmerman (Cate Blanchett) is no slouch in that department either, which is a damn good thing as the house was once owned by an evil warlock named Isaac Izard (Kyle MacLachlan) who left a clock hidden within the mansion walls that can bring about doomsday when it’s countdown ends. Can our erstwhile heroes find the demonic timepiece before the end of the world…and before Izard himself arrives from the afterlife? Filled with magic, monsters, re-animated corpses, a heartfelt story-line involving
