Fit To Be Tied? Stephen King and Netflix Have Got You Covered

As is the way with many Stephen King fans, I sit awaiting the big screen adaptations of IT and The Dark Tower with feverish anticipation. However, my Little Monsters, we mustn’t allow ourselves become too distracted by large menacing clowns or allow that dark tower cast too large a shadow over other King adaptations that are coming to smaller screens. One such adaptation is for his 1992 novel, Gerald’s Game, which will be released exclusively on Netflix sometime this year. This adaptation was directed by Mike Flanagan, based on a script he wrote with Jeff Howard. The movie stars Bruce Greenwood, as Gerald Burlingame and Carla Gugino, as Jessie Burlingame , and features a supporting cast that includes Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel, Carel Struycken, and Chiara Aurelia. Gerald’s Game tell the story of Gerald and Jessie Burlingame who, on a warm October Day, decide to take a trip to their summer home. Their love life having become, shall we say

Pennywise Stalks Georgie In The New Image From Stephen King’s ‘IT’

A new image has emerged from Andy Muschietti’s IT, written by Gary Dauberman. Just like the classic scene from the mini series we can see Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard) peering out from the gutter, calling to Georgie. The image, a photo of an IT spread in the latest Empire Magazine, was shared on the “Stephen King’s IT 2017” Facebook page. While the trailer has not been released online, it did play at SXSW. The trailer revealed the scene that opens with Bill (Jaeden Lieberher) making a paper boat for his younger brother Georgie, played by Jackson Robert Scott. Georgie runs outside with his boat to play in the rain. As the boat floats down the street beside the curb, Georgie falls and his boat is lost in the gutter. As he peers into the darkness in search of his boat, Pennywise suddenly appears and the screen goes to black. Hopefully, we will see the trailer released soon. Even though though IT’s
