Next week will be busy for Stephen King.\u00a0On September 9, he\u00a0will be appearing in Cambridge, MA in conversation with Lee Child to promote the new Jack Reacher novel, Make Me<\/em>. The next day, he\u00a0will be among the\u00a0eleven\u00a0individuals receiving the National Medal of Arts<\/a> from President Obama in the East Wing of the White House. The citation says, “One of the most popular and prolific writers of our time, Mr. King combines his remarkable storytelling with his sharp analysis of human nature. ”\u00a0Then, on the following day, September 11, he will be a guest on\u00a0Stephen Colbert\u2019s Late Show <\/em>during its inaugural week.<\/em><\/p>\n

Last week, King penned an opinion piece for the NY Times<\/em> entitled\u00a0Can a Novelist Be Too Productive?<\/a>\u00a0and then engaged in a Q&A with readers<\/a>. There’s also a By the Book interview with him<\/a> from back in June and another in conjunction with the audiobook release<\/a> of “Drunken Fireworks.” King also did a Q&A\u2014asking the questions this time\u2014with American Crime<\/em>\u00a0creator\u00a0John Ridley.<\/p>\n

Though it was earlier announced that the third book in the Bill Hodges Mercedes trilogy would be called The Suicide Prince<\/em>, apparently there’s been a change of heart, and it will now be titled End of Watch<\/em>.<\/p>\n

King is providing a new introduction to\u00a0The Rim of Morning: Two Tales of Classic Horror<\/em>\u00a0by William Sloane. Of the books, King says, “The re-issue of these two remarkable novels in long overdue\u2026 I can think of no other novels exactly like these two, either in style or substance. My only regret is that William Sloane did not continue\u2026Yet we must be grateful for what we have, which is a splendid rediscovery. These two novels are best read after dark, I think, possibly on an autumn night with a strong wind blowing the leaves around outside.”<\/p>\n

It’s been a turbulent time for various adaptations of King’s work. It was announced last week that there would be no fourth season of Under the Dome<\/em>. Production in North Carolina had already wrapped and items from the series were being sold off because the tax incentives\u00a0the production received had been cut, so even if the show had been renewed, it would not have filmed in the Wilmington area.<\/p>\n

Then it was announced that the forthcoming Season 5B of Haven<\/em>, which debuts on October 8th on SyFy,\u00a0would be the last. There have been differing stances taken as to whether this is a cancellation or whether that was the plan all along.\u00a0Showrunner Gabrielle Stanton said that even though the decision came after filming\u00a0had wrapped, the creative team was prepared for the end. “We really looked at these 13 episodes as if\u2026 If we were indeed going to end, what would be the best ending we could possibly do for Haven?\u201d<\/p>\n

Cary Fukunaga has dropped out\u00a0as director of the It<\/em> remake. Some sources reported that Fukunaga clashed with the studio over the budget, arguments that impacted his casting decisions. However, this week Fukunaga said in an interview<\/a> that the disagreement had more to do with creative vision than finances.\u00a0“I was trying to make an unconventional horror film. It didn\u2019t fit into the algorithm of what they knew they could spend and make money back on based on not offending their standard genre audience”, he explained. “In the first movie, what I was trying to do was an elevated horror film with actual characters. They didn\u2019t want any characters. They wanted archetypes and scares. I wrote the script. They wanted me to make a much more inoffensive, conventional script. But I don\u2019t think you can do proper Stephen King and make it inoffensive”.<\/p>\n

In more hopeful news, Nikolaj Arcel has been officially named director of the first Dark Tower movie, and Sony announced a release date of June 13, 2017. Arcel and screenwriter Anders Thomas Jensen are rewriting the previous draft by Akiva Goldsman.<\/p>\n

There were some great photos posted of King behind the wheel of a very familiar looking red 1958 Fury<\/a> on the set of 11\/22\/63<\/em>. The Volo Auto Museum loaned the vintage car to the production.\u00a0In exchange for the loan of the car, the museum requested only to be compensated for shipping costs \u2014 and to have King autograph Christine\u2019s dashboard.<\/p>\n

The Stand<\/em> still seems to be lumbering forward, and there was news that\u00a0Warner Bros. and CBS Films were in talks with Showtime to mount an eight-part miniseries that would air before the first feature. And, according to Dread Central<\/a>, the Pet Sematary<\/em> reboot is ready to go once a budget can be nailed down. The script is by\u00a0Jeff Buhler, and the film will be directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Buhler says, “We really wanted to get into the emotional aspects of it. There\u2019s still plenty of visceral horror that\u2019s explored, but I\u2019ve always felt that if you lean more into the characters and into their emotional lives, when the visceral shit hits the fan, it\u2019s ten times more scary.\u201d<\/p>\n

MTV revealed that King would have a cameo role in the audio version of Joe Hill’s Locke & Key<\/em>. The principle narrators are\u00a0Haley Joel Osment and Tatiana Maslany, with special appearances by Hill, artist Gabriel Rodriguez, and Kate Mulgrew.\u00a0The audiobook will be free from October 5 to November 4, after which it\u2019ll become a paid product in the Audible store.<\/p>\n

The next cycle of stories in the Marvel graphic novel adaptation launched this week with\u00a0The Drawing of the Three \u2013 The Lady of Shadows<\/em> #1.\u00a0Enter Odetta Holmes, a wealthy, Civil Rights activist, living in the South. But Odetta has a dark secret\u2013and to uncover that secret, we\u2019ll have to go all the way back to the beginning.<\/p>\n
