I'm obviously not familiar with the terms of Warner's deal with King for the "Shining" rights, but even if they DO possess the legal ability to do prequels and/or sequels, "Doctor Sleep" would have nothing to do with that.<br /><br />I'm with David; I suspect King will refuse to sell the rights, unless it's to someone he trusts (like Darabont or Rob Reiner or -- *shudder* -- Mick Garris).Bryant Burnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189356171455609865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175798629534874434.post-8975149813861644022012-09-22T18:14:27.534-07:002012-09-22T18:14:27.534-07:00It certainly sounds that way, doesn't it?

Seems a shame that, even this far into his awesome career, King is still receiving so many backhanded compliments.Bryant Burnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189356171455609865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1175798629534874434.post-10692265205270502302012-09-22T13:38:17.935-07:002012-09-22T13:38:17.935-07:00The person who wrote this apparently does not read...The person who wrote this apparently does not read Stephen King. King is absolutely NOT "gratuitously gory." <br /><br />While I don't consider it a pejorative to write in the fashion of the old pulps, I never thought King's style was that. He speaks (and writes) average American. <br /><br />Methinks this is just another hack who looks down his nose at horror writers and horror fans.

I don't know what the status is on that score. Either way, my prospect, or rather lack of them remain the same on both counts.<br /><br />ChrisC Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
