wlbz2.com has an interesting story titled "Film crew sets up shop in Lovell."
.The article reportst that Monroe Mann's movie "draws its inspiration from King's novels." Not sure what that means! Mann explains that, "It's a story about a lot of people getting killed -- murdered -- in the same way that Stephen King's characters die in his books."
.King knows about this project and according to Mann is not exactly excited. Mann says that he ran into King at the market and talked about the film. "I said 'Hey, did you know there's a movie being made about you here in town?' And he said 'I do.' And I said 'What do you think about that?' And he said 'I'm not too happy but there's not much I can do about it.' ".
.
Shock till you drop cites Mann's announcement in May saying that the "story centers around Stephen King. No more can be said about the story at this time except that it is unique, with a concept that everyone seems to like and a fun twist ending." This leads to some expected musing, "So, with scant details to go on, what can we expect from the film? Something akin to George Lucas in Love? Full of in-jokes that puts the author front and center as the main character? Or perhaps something in the vein of Necronomincon, which found H.P. Lovecraft up against, well, Lovecraftian evil?"
.
The wlbz2 story says that Mann insists that the movie is intended to honor King. He calls it is a "tribute" to his work. He explains, "We named the town in the film Incomia and incomia means 'a sincere tribute to a great person' and that's what we hope this film will ultimately be."
.In Short:
New movie about King.
Involves lots of murder.
Currently shooting.
King's response: Annoyed.
