Yeah, I have to agree with Urge...alot of his books have been turned into movies, but most of them haven't done too well or received much acclaim...and he didn't MAKE them...

Although I must admit every time Pet Sematary is on I HAVE to watch it....it's like a trainwreck that I just can't turn away from. ;)

Besides, I always get a kick out of how the father ( I can't remember his name at the moment) just doesn't understand the phrase "enough is enough". He keeps going back and digging everyone up when HE KNOWS what's going to happen;)

Umm...this post is way longer than it needs to be.
That's all. :D

Apparently Urge and Moonlit have enough sense to explain that King is an author and not a film maker (or at least not a good one). If the noob would've read down a bit further, he/she/it would've seen there is a Books forum. Apparenty reading is not their strong point. How many book reports did you do in school on King books after renting the video instead ? It might explain your confusion. :D

Actually...He also directed Sometimes They Come Back Again (1996) and the remake of The Shining...

Nope. He was actually a third unit director, which is the equivalent of giving someone a camera to shoot pick-up shots (ie crowds, landscapes, etc) without any acting or plot related points. Basically he shot filler footage.

Okay...I'll give you that for the Shining remake, but he DID make sure that everything was the way he wanted it, and that it stayed close to his story since Kubrick pissed him off so bad with his omissions and changes in the original...

BUT...He DID direct Sometimes They Come Back Again...It's listed in his filmography along with Maximum Overdrive, for directing...

Stephen King's Film Biography
Can we just ship this off to the Books section already, BR ? It's late and I'm sure there's film spam that needs to be flamed or an actual question about making a film I might be able to help out with. I'm getting sidetracked with this LOL

Okay then...Move along...But, before ya do, here's one for you ;)

King's Filmography


And this thread has actually remained a discussion about King's 'film making'...So, I'd say it's pretty relevant here :)
