Stephen King gets all MISTy

STEPHEN KING LOVES "THE MIST" - A FILM ADAPTATION OF HIS NOVELLA BY ACCLAIMED DIRECTOR FRANK DARABONT

Stephen King Also Sends A Chilling Message To Filmgoers


NEW YORK, NEW YORK (November 12, 2007) - At a press conference today for
the highly anticipated film THE MIST by Academy Award nominated director
Frank Darabont ("The Green Mile," "The Shawshank Redemption"), Stephen
King, whose novella the film is based on, gave his blessing of the film
adaptation as well as sent out a chilling message to anyone who dares to
give away the film's ending.  

Stephen King stated, "Frank wrote a new ending that I loved. It is the
most shocking ending ever and there should be a law passed stating that
anybody who reveals the last 5 minutes of this film should be hung from
their neck until dead."

About THE MIST
David Drayton and his young son Billy are among a large group of
terrified townspeople trapped in a local grocery store by a strange,
otherworldly mist. David is the first to realize that there are things
lurking in the mist...deadly, horrifying things...creatures not of this
world. Survival depends on everybody in the store pulling together...but
is that possible, given human nature? As reason crumbles in the face of
fear and panic, David begins to wonder what terrifies him more: the
monsters in the mist-or the ones inside the store, the human kind, the
people that until now had been his friends and neighbors? In this
legendary tale of terror from master storyteller Stephen King, the thin
veneer of civilization is stripped away, the masks are discarded, and
the true horror is revealed as us.

Written and directed by Frank Darabont, THE MIST stars Thomas Jane,
Marcia Gay Harden, Andre Braugher, Laurie Holden, Toby Jones, William
Sadler, Frances Sternhagen, and Jeffrey DeMunn.  Frank Darabont and Liz
Glotzer served as producers.
