    Default Bag of Bones film

    According to Wiki and IMDB Mick garris is currenlty in pre-production on the film adaption of Bag of bones. I know, I know, Alot of poeple dont really like Garris' adaptions of kings work. SK must like them though becuase he keeps letting him make them. Im sure almost any adaption of Kings work will be reagrded well by fans, especially a huge favorite like bag of bones. There isnt really too much to mess up here as the story is pretty linear. Thoughts?

    But there are some incredibly hard scenes in there, a bit too harsh for the mainstream Hollywood-style movie productions. I'm guessing they're going to soften it up a bit to fit the general public. A pity, but let's face it - money makes the world go around.

    Hi,

    I think Mick Garris makes 'worthy' if unexciting adaptations.

    I'd much rather see it in the hands of Frank Darabont (but then I think that about ALL Sai King adaptations).

    Long days and pleasant nights

    Wouldn't necessarily be SK liking the Garris adaptations, but someone in the studio that bought the option(s) clearly thinks they're more than acceptable!
    It'll be interesting to see what sort of a job they make of it.

    It's funny, immediately after I finished the book a while back, I was wondering if it will ever be made into a movie. And...here we go. Haha. I just hope he treats the story with love and respect.

    ...but 2011? That feels ages away.

    Hopefully it won't be a complete screw up like Dreamcatcher. That movie sucked, especially the "New" ending to it.

    for the fun of it.

    Casting Ideas

    Mike- Robert Downey Jr or John Cusak
    Jo- Rachel Weitz
    Mattie- Natalie Portman
    Ki- No idea don't know of any actresses that young
    John Storrow- Toby Maguire
    Max Devore- Martin Landau or Frank Langella
    Rogette- Hellen Mirren
    Sara Tidwell- Kerry Washington

    I know it's an unrealistic cast considering the budget but oh well

    P.S.
    And of course

    Director- Frank Durabont........*sigh*.... one can dream, can't he?
