    Default Under The Dome

    Does anyone have any idea what this film about? Is this the novel that was originally called "Cannibals" ? Is it about cannibals? (I hope so!)


    Thanks for the help!

    I'm assuming you meant to ask what the book is about as it isn't a film. You can read Steve's response on page 6, Post 60 in this thread.

    Default Under the Dome

    So, yeah I found this info on Wikipedia about what Stephen King is currently working on, a book entitled Under the Dome.

    "Under the Dome is a novel currently being written by Stephen King. It is a rewrite of a novel King attempted writing twice in the 1980s, under the titles The Cannibals and Under the Dome. [1] As King stated on his official site, these two unfinished works "were two very different attempts to utilize the same idea, which concerns itself with how people behave when they are cut off from the society they've always belonged to. Also, my memory of The Cannibals is that it, like Needful Things, was a kind of social comedy. The new Under the Dome is played dead straight." King read from his new first draft at "The Three Kings" reading event that was held on April 4, 2008 at the Library of Congress, which was broadcast by C-SPAN as part of their Book TV series on May 4, 2008. King described the novel as "very, very long," saying "I tried [writing] this once before when I was a lot younger, and the project was just too big for me." The Novel has been compared to "The Stand" And "It" in length. [2]"

    Anyone seen anything interesting on this new project?

    That's about as much information as has been made public so far. Steve has wanted to keep details to himself until the novel is closer to publication. He's still working on it and it's now well over 1,100 manuscript pages long; he's thinking it will probably be at least 1,800 before he's done but that's as much as I am at liberty to tell you.
