Here is a first look at a new short film based on King's Gray Matter starring Larry Fessenden. The film is done using all practical FX such as matte paintings, animatronics, puppets and so on. It's directed by Red Clark and we also see Aaron Christensen, Scott Lynch-Giddings, Steve Herson, and Kenneth Martin.

The movie will be playing at festivals later this year. More info over on the Gray Matter Facebook page.

Cell posters

Posted: October 16, 2013, 15:02

Based on the story by Stephen King, Bloody Disgusting now have three sales posters for Cell, which will be on display at next month’s American Film Market in Santa Monica, CA.

“When a powerful signal is broadcast across mobile networks worldwide, cell phone users’ minds are instantly and dangerously re-programmed. Heading north through New England in search of his wife and son, Clay Riddell is joined by a group of survivors hoping to fend off the bloodthirsty and hyper-connected “phoners.””

John Cusack is starring, with Paranormal Activity 2‘s Tod “Kip” Williams directing. The film is still in pre-production.

What do you think about these posters? Good? Bad?

Thanks to Herbert West

And the Winner is!

Posted: September 27, 2013, 13:16

I have finally been able to select a winner in the photo contest (with a copy of Cemetery Dance's Gift Edition of Doctor Sleep as the prize). It wasn’t easy to select a winner of the 85 entries but I did and her name is Egle Chesters. I just love her photo. It shows she put some effort in it, that her family supports her love for King and most important of it all, her new husband supports her love for King.

Here is her description of the photo:

I got married on 23rd July 2013 but I couldn't have my big day without a bit of Stephen! Pictured is my first dance featuring my new husband, myself and the real love of my life Stephen's Night Shift! :)

Congratulations Egle!

Stephen and Owen reading

Posted: September 26, 2013, 11:12

On September 24 Stephen and Owen King did a reading and here is a description of what happened, along with a photo.

First Owen read from Doctor Sleep, than King read from Double Feature. After that Owen asked Stephen some questions from a Stephen King Trivia book. Not sure which one but Owen said he found it a used book store so it was probably old [probably one by Stephen Spignesi]. Stephen asked Owen some questions after that. Next they each read a bit from their own books and it ended with a few question cards from the audience.

Thanks to Lee Everett

King's Signing In Paris

Posted: September 23, 2013, 16:25

Here is all info you need about the signing in Paris November 13.

Stephen will be doing a book signing on Wednesday the 13th of November from 13:00 till 15:00 at MK2 Bibliothéque, 128-162 Avenue due France, 75013 Paris. This will not be a ticketed event and will be on a first-come, first-served basis so we, therefore, cannot guarantee that all who attend will be able to have a book signed if there are still fans waiting in line after 15:00. To accommodate as many fans as possible, there will be a one book per person limit. Fans may either bring the one book from their personal collection or purchase a book from MK2 at the event.

Sounds to me that you'll need to be there early if you want a signes book!

Thanks to Herbert West and Stefano Gatti

New book about King’s work

Posted: September 20, 2013, 12:11

King expert Kevin Quigley has a new book about King’s work coming out through Cemetery Dance. It’s called A Good Story and Good Words. Get your copy here.

About the Book:
For fifty years, Stephen King has thrilled audiences with his novels, stories, and nonfiction. He has traveled to some odd places, both in his fiction and in the sometimes stranger world of publishing. A Good Story and Good Words jaunts into these many worlds, including:

* a guide to King's writing in the years before Carrie
* a history of how King's novels became bestsellers
* in-depth analyses of every book King has ever written
* how technology has impacted and interpreted King's work, from video games like The Mist to eBook exclusives like "Mile 81" and "Ur"
* a guided tour of King's comics, from Creepshow to The Dark Tower and American Vampire
* information on unpublished, uncollected, and hard-to-find Stephen King short stories and poems
* essays on King at the movies, King on audio, and a whole lot more!

Packed with information, A Good Story and Good Words is a fresh, fun, and exciting journey through the many weird and wondrous worlds of Stephen King!

Mister Mercedes too creepy?

Posted: September 19, 2013, 23:05

Mister Mercedes is mentioned in an article about King and Doctor Sleep in USAToday.

Next for King is a non-supernatural suspense novel, Mister Mercedes, about a deranged terrorist with a bomb. He says he began it before the Boston Marathon bombing, but it's "too creepily close for comfort."
