More news about King’s publicity tour for Under the Dome<\/em> is emerging. Both the New York and Portsmouth events are sold out, according to recent reports. Details about other events have not been made public. Check King’s message board<\/a> for the most up-to-date information about the tour. The DC\/Baltimore and Atlanta events will be straight signings, with no on-stage event, whereas for the others King will presign 250 books that will be made available for sale to attendees, although there may well be more attendees than books for some events.<\/p>\n

King is quoted in this article<\/a> about the timing of the release of electronic versions of books: Stephen King, whose novel Under the Dome<\/em> is being published in November by Scribner, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, said in an e-mail message that “we\u2019re all thinking and talking about electronic publishing and how to deal with these issues,” adding, “but I can\u2019t say anything right now.” <\/span>The electronic version of the book isn’t scheduled to be released until early 2010.<\/p>\n

Scribner will publish two Collector\u2019s Editions of Under the Dome<\/em>. The regular Collector\u2019s Edition will have a special jacket with a belly band, a stamped case, four-color printed endpapers, a ribbon marker, and will contain a set of 27 special trading cards featuring drawings of characters from the book (drawn by cartoonist Matthew Diffee). These drawings will also be featured in the book\u2014as a frontispiece image and on the 26 part title pages. The book will be shrink-wrapped and Scribner will print only 25,000 copies of this edition, priced at $75. Scribner is also offering 1,500 copies of a signed, limited Collector\u2019s Edition. This contains all the special elements listed above, plus the book will be signed by the author. This is priced at $200 and will only be sold through their web site. \u201cWe\u2019re doing this to generate additional revenue,\u201d says Susan Moldow, publisher of Simon & Schuster\u2019s Scribner imprint. \u201cWe used to have a regular business of signed first edition mysteries, but we stopped because there wasn\u2019t an additional mark-up…This is fighting back against the disappearance of the book as an object,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n

An Under the Dome<\/em> excerpt will be in a fall issue of Entertainment Weekly<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Rand Holston at CAA is currently out with the film rights to Under the Dome<\/em>. According to Publishers Weekly<\/em>, the book’s heft may be making it tough for Hollywood execs to see the story working as a feature; one insider said all the activity in the book is causing some to think Dome<\/em> makes more sense as a miniseries.<\/p>\n

Marvel Comics and Random House\u2019s Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group have reached an agreement to allow The Stand: Captain Trips<\/em> to be distributed in the general bookstore market beginning in January 2010. The hardcover omnibus was originally released exclusively through comics shops in March after Marvel acknowledged that it did not have permission from the book\u2019s original publisher, Doubleday, now a part of Random House, to distribute it to the general bookstores.<\/p>\n

Issue #3 of Fall of Gilead <\/em>is now out.<\/p>\n

The special B&W issue 0 of The Talisman was distributed at Comic-Con. The standard version of this prequel will be available in comic shops in October. The first issue of the first six-issue arc, The Road of Trials<\/em>, will also appear in October. The current plan is for a total of three arcs, each about six issues.<\/p>\n

John Harrison, whose Clive Barker-based feature Book of Blood<\/em> premiered at Montreal\u2019s Fantasia film festival recently, is writing a four-hour miniseries based on Cell for the Weinstein Company, which had originally planned to turn the book into a theatrical feature (with Eli Roth attached at one point to direct), but decided to abandon those plans and will be shopping the project to networks instead. Having served as assistant director\/composer on the Creepshow<\/em> and helmed Tales from the Darkside: The Movie<\/em> (including an adaptation of\u00a0 “Cat from Hell”), Harrison considers Cell<\/em> one of King\u2019s best recent books, with opening chapters that will make an incredible first 30 minutes on screen. The filmmaker adds that he doesn\u2019t see this as a zombie story so much as a Village of the Damned<\/em>-esque chiller, and enjoys the fact that the infected populace possesses a hive mentality. While he has not been officially contracted to direct, he would certainly like to.<\/p>\n

The remake of Children of the Corn <\/em> will premiere on SyFy (formerly SciFi network) on Saturday, September 26 at 9pm Eastern\/Pacific.<\/p>\n
