wheres the Movie?

[Checkman]

I think Eli Roth would have been a mistake. While Cell is intense and violent I think Roth would have been too heavy handed with the Hamburger Factor. If Cabin Fever is any indication. Personally I think the man is overrated and King's books do better when a more restrained director is at the helm. I like Frank Darabont. I've also suggested that they go with an unknown director,but now I'm thinking the movie adaptation won't happen at all.

I agree Eli Roth would be a huge mistake, I agree with Robster, John Carpenter would b perfect for this film, my main concern is that it should stick to the story as much as possible instead of turning into some zombie B movie which would easierly happen.

Yea, there comes a movie.

There have been a few topics on here concerning this novel becoming a movie. I agreed with most who said that they would like to see this on the big screen and my view has not changed.

Same here. But I do think a few things will have to be changed, such as the pacing in the middle. I also hope they make it make more sense than the novel, lol. The explanation had me all

I primarily write novels now, but I feel that I could write a decent screenplay for this book if given the shot!

I loved Cell...read it when it was first released in paperback after having a bit of a breather from SK for a couple of years. It hooked me straight back in and made me ask myself why I had left it so long between visits into Stephen's world.
I would love to see a film adaptation of this as well, however one thing that concerns me is that people will be saying "that's just a rip-off of 'I Am Legend' " (thought that was a great movie BTW!) Even though the two stories are different I think people will not be able to see past similarities of rage virus, end of mankind, takes place in large American city. Frank Darabont is your man for this one

Well,

For the record, I'd love to see this one as DePalma's return to the Horror genre. Hasn't that been hinted at before, on the imdbpro.com? Of all of them, I think that's a director who is ready for a big, sweeping (yet very personal, creepish and intimate) production like CELL. Probably just me though, eh?


Okay,

I picture McG..the guy who did Terminator Salvation, We Are Marshal, and Charlie's Angle's..to direct a film version of Cell. He's got the talent to make visually instense action scenes as well as non-intense, like We are Marshal.

While I'd love to Cell as a movie at the same time I wouldn't. They never seem to be quite right, films based on books I mean. Especially many King adaptations.
Cell is my absolute favourite King book, I'm not sure why, and I'd hate to see it ruined!

[Roou*]

well yeah i agree with taz-the-one, i mean the book is really really good o.o drve me nuts bcause i was biting my nails while i was reading and i don't know mmm the books are always better..
