Kevin Quigley has posted a review of the limited edition of Stephen King’s television adaptation of Battleground at fearnet. Battleground is set for publication this Summer from Gauntlet Press.
Quigley gives great details on the book and his usual enthusiasm for King’s work shines through the essay. I especially liked his description of Richard Matheson’s script of Battleground. He writes this interesting side note:
“if the lack of dialogue in the film seems unsettling, in the script it's downright bizarre. For those who have read scripts before, this teleplay feels markedly denser; Matheson makes up for it with short, clipped stage direction that translates to our image of Hurt's Renshaw with ease."The book also includes essays and interviews with, Quigley says, “everyone” involved. He says that a lot of these sections are “just fun”!
The full review is here at FEARNET.
