T.V. movie?

The movie was well done. You got the sense of his ability very vividly.

I think the "TV movie" was actually the pilot episode to the series.
I loved the original movie and the series. I know they took some liberties and changed some stuff for the series, but they kinda had to in order to keep it going as a weekly series. I was very sad that the show was cancelled before truly wrapping up.

I love the movie but have not seen the mini series. Will have to see if Amazon has it. Also I have read the book.

I have a terrible confession:
I knew the USA Network series before.. the book!

But, allow me to explain. I started watching USA because The 4400 was on that channel, and I watched that one straight from the pilot. But my parents always watched The Dead Zone, so I started watching it with them, too. The next thing I know my dad's putting a copy of the novel in my hands and ordering me to read it. He and my mom are both big King fans, and I am so glad that they got me into his writing, too.
Before I knew it I had finished TDZ and was reading ever King book in sight, but Dead Zone has remained my favourite -- and I was crushed when the USA series was canceled! Of course I'll always love Christopher Walken as Johnny Smith, but Anthony Michael Hall did some neat things with the roll. He gave it a bit of a younger life, to me. Shame they canceled the series on a cliffhanger.. It didn't quite follow "canon" but I thought it was a neat adaption.
All it lacked was that one amazing line from the movie:
"The ICE... is GOING... to BREAK!"
