If any of this is true, it'll be subtle, as we all know how the Dark Tower ends. Unless...

Anthony Hopkins really wanted to do a Stephen King film. He was offered Hearts In Atlantis and accepted without even seeing a script. When he got the script he accepted again after reading only half of the script. His acting in this film is as good as anything he has ever done.

Anthony Hopkins on wanting to do a Stephen King film:

@ 16 seconds:




Spoiler if you've never seen the film or read The Dark Tower novels:

Hearts In Atlantis is an excellent adaptation. The story connects to Stephen King's Dark Tower universe, however, the film works well on its own and doesn't require the viewer to have knowledge of those novels. Anthony Hopkins' acting in this film is first class. He plays Ted Brautigan who is a Breaker from the Dark Tower novels and is being sought by the Low Men so they can take him back and use him and his powerful ability to bring down The Dark Tower. The film doesn't spell this out as it focuses on Ted and Robert "Bobby" Garfield's relationship and Bobby's friends. Ted employs Bobby to read to him and to keep an eye out for the Low Men.

Of all the Stephen King adaptations, I'd place Hearts In Atlantis in joint first position with The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption. It really is that good.
 
Stephen King's 11/22/63 turns 10.



This is from The New York Times review, November 10, 2011 (If you haven't read the novel, don't read that review):

"It all adds up to one of the best time-travel stories since H. G. Wells."



I couldn't agree more with that NYT quote!

I've started to watch The X-Files' stand-alone episodes again (on Disney+), the first of which is Series 1 Episode 3 Squeeze. You can't help but draw parallels with Stephen King's IT while watching this episode. Right from the start! Eugene Victor Tooms is portrayed by Doug Hutchison who was brilliant as Percy Wetmore in The Green Mile.

Stephen King was wrong when he said "the book is the delivery system".


@ 1:20






King thought that the book was/will be irrelevant. It isn't and never will be.

If someone buys an e-reader, they are reliant on the company that made them. The author is also dependent on those companies.

And what about software updates?

The readers would also have to buy newer models so that they can access the books that they've already bought.

No new device, no access to your library.


Does anybody know of an author that exclusively publishes books on e-readers?
 
@ Everyone Please watch this. One day, Stephen King won't be with us. This video, thanks to Owen, gives us a great insight to the world of Stephen King. Also, he's bloody honest.
