    Default Will Rose Madder ever become a movie?

    I was wondering if Mr. King has ever considered having "Rose Madder" made into a movie? And if he hasn't picked any directors for it, if he could look at Tim Sullivan, who is the director of the movie "2001 Maniacs". My husband and I just feel that Mr. Sullivan could do justice on "Rose Madder".

    He sold the film rights to HBO many years ago but they never filmed it.

    That would be a hard movie for some to watch in the beginning, although so was A Time to Kill. I would love to see it.

    Rose Madder was a great book. So it would be great with a movie also.

    I agree that would be a great movie. Provided whichever director butchered Dolores Claiborne stays FAR FAR away. Like in a different timezone?

    if a movie was made it would have to be on one of those 'women' channels like WE.

    Not necessarily. If the wrong director or producer gets a hold of the film rights to a great book it doesn’t always translate into a great movie.

    I think they'll have to moderate the story quite a lot to make it into a film. I always fear watching films of books I enjoyed - many times they're pure disappointments.

    Has Mr. King ever thought to contact HBO to inquire if they were ever going to do anything with those Rights that they purchased? Or mabie considered purchasing it back, and selling it to someone who would do something with it? It just seems to be a HUGE waste of talent to just be sitting in a storage room.
