Update On The New Adaption Of Stephen King’s ‘The Stand’

Stephen King’s novel ‘The Stand’ tells the story of a group of survivors, after the world is decimated by a man-made virus.

Reportedly, the miniseries will be a star studded event. Director Josh Boone is aiming to cast stars who have never before been seen in a TV series.

Stephen And Owen King’s SLEEPING BEAUTIES Being Adapted For Television

Adaptations of Stephen King’s works are everywhere these days, including IT , The Dark Tower,, Gerald’s Game, 1922, Revival, Mr. Mercedes, The Mist, and The Stand. Deadline is now reporting that Sleeping Beauties, King’s most recent novel which is a collaboration with his son Owen, has been picked up by Anonymous Content with the intention of adapting the book for a television series. That’s not surprising, but what is surprising is the fact that Sleeping Beauty is not set to arrive in stores until September 26, 2017. In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place… The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious

An Interview with Primate’s Director of Photography, Stephen Murphy

At this point, everyone has heard the buzz surrounding the horror film Primate, now playing in theaters. When it comes to a movie or series, one of the most critical roles on set is the Director of Photography. The DP for Primate is none other than Stephen Murphy, and I had the honor of speaking with him not only about the film but also about his role as DP. Murphy, who also served as DP on the hit series “Atlanta,” discusses the challenges of lighting and weather, as well as how to make Ben, the chimp star of Primate, look more realistic. It’s a very fascinating job. If you think about how much the cinematography influences a scene, it will blow your mind. Watch the interview below.

Movie Review: ‘Salem’s Lot’ Is a Movie Worth Sinking Your Fangs Into

After years of anticipation, Gary Dauberman’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot finally arrives on MAX this Halloween season.

However, he soon discovers a sinister plot in the town: a bloodthirsty vampire and its servant terrorize the residents.
