An uncertain future for the SyFy drama follows the Canadian drama channel canceling "Almost Heroes," and reordering "Lost Girl" and "King."
TORONTO -- The SyFy drama Haven from Entertainment One and Big Motion Pictures is on the bubble with Showcase channel in Canada.
Showcase programmers are to decide in two weeks on the future of the foreign-spawned drama, which is based on Stephen King's novella 'Colorado Kid' and shoots in Canada.
Haven left in limbo comes as Showcase canceled Almost Heroes, a sitcom about two brothers that starred Ryan Belleville and Paul Campbell.
The Canadian channel has ordered new seasons of Syfy’s Lost Girl from Prodigy Pictures and King, a female cop drama from Indian Grove Productions.
I'm trying to find out more as we speak...

Stephen King discusses how he discovered terror at the movie theater. He takes viewers on a journey through many aspects of the horror genre, including vampires, zombies, demons and ghosts. He also examines the fundamental reasons behind moviegoers' incessant craving for being frightened. Along the way, he discusses the movies that have had a real impact on his writing, including Freaks (1932), Cat People (1942), Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Night of the Living Dead (1968) and The Changeling (1980).Read more over at Talk Stephen King.

Here are more about the longer version of The Shining. I thought there would be a scene in which Jack danced with a skeleton as well though...The Shining like you never seen it before
Posted: September 15, 2011, 10:38
_
Rochester New York's Dryden Theater is showing Kubrick's The Shining -- like you've never seen it before. This version includes "coda cut from the original release."
Drew Grant at the New York Observer notes that Stanley Kubrick was a perfectionist. "The Shining is actually in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most number of takes of a single scene. With that type of fascist filmmaking, you know that anything left on the cutting room floor of the 1980 Stephen King film was cut for a reason."
Grant directs readers to IMDB contributors express excitement at the new footage, saying ". . . it'll be the first time the footage has been seen since the original theatrical showing and before Kubrick had it removed." But they also spot a problem, "The only discrepancy here seems to be the running time they list. 142 minutes. That's the running time for the normal longer version. The Version including the Coda should be 146 minutes."

What do you think about action figures like these? Personally I think they are pretty cool. Not that I think many will buy them to play with but I bet they'll look pretty cool in the book case where you keep your movie collection, don't you think?

TV Guide’s Adam Bryant:
- Walking Dead’s Season 2 premiere won’t let any fans down. It may, however, make a few of them puke. Can’t wait to see more.
The Walking Dead’s score composer Bear McCreary:

Haven prop
Posted: September 7, 2011, 22:10
_
Got some really cool Haven prop in the mail today. One was a Haven Police Department (HPD) hat used in the series and the second was the boat that you can see in the beginning of episode 1 (Tale of Two Audrey’s) season 2. These are the actual boats that were used in that scene. 
They used two boats while shooting the scene -- when one got too wet, they switched to the other one while someone used a hair dryer on the wet one.

Cover for Wind Through The Keyhole?

This cover can be seen over at Scribner's website. However, it's clearly stated that Cover is NOT Final. If this means that this is a version of the finished cover or just a placeholder I don't know.Now, with The Wind Through the Keyhole, King has returned to the rich landscape of Mid-World. This story within a story within a story finds Roland Deschain, Mid-World’s last gunslinger, in his early days during the guilt-ridden year following his mother’s death. Sent by his father to investigate evidence of a murderous shape-shifter, a “skin-man,” Roland takes charge of Bill Streeter, a brave but terrified boy who is the sole surviving witness to the beast’s most recent slaughter. Roland, himself only a teenager, calms the boy by reciting a story from the Book of Eld that his mother used to read to him at bedtime. “A person’s never too old for stories,” he says to Bill. “Man and boy, girl and woman, we live for them.”

15 YEARS! That's how long Lilja's Library has been online. In 1996 (the photo to the right shows how it looked in 1997) I created the site and to start with it wasn't much to write home about but today it's one of the biggest Stephen King fan site's out there which I'm very proud and grateful for. And to celebrate this event I have (besides a new look thanks to my friend Anders Jakobson) put together a celebration contest and let me tell you, there are a lot of prizes in it for you.
