Stephen King

There's no doubt that Stephen King is one of the most influential horror writers (even been affectionately named "The King of Horror"), and with that comes many movie and TV companies willing to rake in TV ratings or box office money by making adaptations of King's works.

Some of these adaptations (be it cinematic films or TV shows/TV movies) are rather highly regarded or at least seen as decent - even if Stephen King himself wasn't a fan - with examples including The Shining, Misery, The Dead Zone, The Green Mile, Doctor Sleep, the 1976 version of Carrie, etc.

Sadly, some of the TV shows/movies and cinematic movies based on his works (be it adaptations of his books or original continuations of some of his stories) haven't been so lucky - ranging from 'mediocre' to 'bad' to 'hilariously bad' to 'What is this?!"

Examples here include The Running Man, The Sleepwalkers, Trucks, The Langoliers, Dreamcatcher, The Rage: Carrie 2, etc.

Question is, if you fix a bad adaptation/continuation of one of Stephen King's works, which one would you pick and what would you change?

Feel free to be as brief or as detailed as you want; the only caveat been you can't just say "I wouldn't make it" as that's just a cheap cop-out and I'd like to see people brainstorming here.

Curious to see what you guys think.

A ton of people that I know think that it is Stephan but I think that is Steven.

Did you find the official cover book?

Check out at CinemaCon where we introduced the logo and the footage.

I don't know why, but every single time that i bend the bend, or make a tiny rip in one of the pages of It, I feel like I am disrespecting Stephen King, and I hate it. I respect Stephen King to the point where it isn't even funny. That man deserves everything he has earned, he worked hard for it, he deserves it.
