Cell should be a movie.

Cell should be a movie as well, This was a great book poeple turning into zombies via the cell phone, Mark Wahlberg did great in M night shymalyn's The Happening.

Hi,

Apparently it's to be made as a four hour miniseries for HBO.

Long days and pleasant nights

[ScottP53]

Darn, I don't subscribe to HBO. I'll have to wait until it comes out on DVD.

[The Outsider]

Oh, it's a miniseries now? Dang. I hate those, to tell you the truth. It just isn't as professional. Well, either way, I hope they do it justice as I hope they do so for every one of the King's many novels. I do think it would be a big hit on the big screen.

[mgencarelli]

I agree with you The Outsider, I am not a big fan of the mini-series path but at least it is getting made and has a chance of being made

[Countrygirl_sass]

I would love to see this on HBO. Are we sure they are working on it John? I am truly tickled if it is.

Hi,

Aye, me too, and in favour of the miniseries format is the amount of screentime that it can devote to a project.

Ms Mod, could you please let us known the current state-of-play regarding Cell?

Long days and pleasant nights

We're not directly involved with the production so I've not heard anything since the announcement was made that it is to be a miniseries.

[Countrygirl_sass]

Thanks.....well I wish someone would lite a fire under them!!:cool2:

great a miniseries about a novel with some telekenetic zombies where the only character I cared about dies .....lame book so its probably going to be a lame miniseries

Sorry you felt the book was lame. It did not find that to be so.
Don't judge a miniseries by the book. You might be surprised.

[lostinla]

I loved this book. One of those that you can't put down. Glad to hear they are doing a miniseries or movie!!! Can't wait. Thanks for letting me know

I think its hard sometimes when a favorite character dies. I am a big fan of Lonesome Dove, and when Gus dies....well it truly is heartbreaking. He was the loveable character flaws and all, unlike Woodrow. He was the glue that held the story together. But the movie was just as good as the book.

So I can deal with a little death here and there, sometimes its just a blesing to know the characters in the first place even for a little while. Much like how it is in real life. Breaks your heart to see them go, but what if you never new them in the first place?

This made me laugh, 'cuz I completely agree with the first half of your comment. I didn't like the idea of telekenetik zombies, and my favorite character was also the one who died. *Smacks forehead* Fortunately, I don't think the book was lame -- I thought it was quite decent -- but I could see where you're coming from.

[Audaciousfox]

I would much, much rather see Bag of Bones movie-ized.
I see from responses that Cell has been made into a miniseries, but I'm not in a rush to catch it. It was a terrific book (with the exception of not explaining what began the bloody Pulse to begin with), but I believe it would just become another zombie movie. Nothing special about it.

[Audaciousfox]

Myself, I like the King miniseries I have watched (DVR it and scoot through the advertisements)...I believe it gives a lot more attention to details that a two-, three-hour movie would not have the time to address.

Hi
