“Things are happening and they are happening fast,” Stephen King says about recent news articles about developments in a possible Dark Tower\u00a0adaptation. “Any reports you see might be taken with a grain of salt for the next couple of weeks. You will know the news from the official source as soon as we are able to post it,” the official source being www.stephenking.com<\/a>, of course. The announced plan has Ron Howard directing a movie or movies for Universal,\u00a0scripted by Akiva Goldsman, produced by Brian Grazer, that would then lead into a TV series.<\/p>\n

Mick Garris will be directing a four-hour miniseries adaptation of Bag of Bones<\/em> that might air on network television sometime next year. “Bag of Bones<\/em> is something we tried to do as a feature for two or three years,” Garris tells Dread Central<\/em>. “But the way features are now, if it’s not about teenagers or a sequel or a remake, forget it. We wanted to do something much more adult and passionate than studios are making now. It’s a ghost story for grown-ups. Television is the only place you can do that.” Check out a video of his conversation with Dread Central<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking of video, here’s an hour long video of\u00a0King at the Cultural Center of Charlotte County, Florida<\/a>. As part of his appearance, he reads the short story “The Old Dude’s Ticker,” which is only available in The Big Book of NECON<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Did you see a familiar name in the early pages of Blockade Billy<\/a>? One “Ben Vincent,” who hits one out of the park? Hey, people have fared far worse in Stephen King novels. I was thrilled to be Tuckerized this way. By the way, the Scribner edition of this story will also contain the Shirley Jackson Award nominated “Morality,” originally published in Esquire. The audio version is narrated by Craig Wasson, to whom King devoted his April 23\/30 Entertainment Weekly<\/em> column. You can hear an excerpt from the story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The SyFy TV series Haven<\/em> is in production in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada. There’s a brief teaser here<\/a>. The pilot is directed by Adam Kane and stars Emily Rose,\u00a0\u00a0Lucas Bryant, Eric Balfour, Richard Donat and John Dunsworth. The show premieres on July 9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
