Stephen King

He's a total douche and always has been

People are trashy? Idk man, sorry :(

>Duddits is an ayylmao
This actually did piss me off to a huge degree.
Why couldn't he have had ESP?

>>85821855
He stopped giving a shit after the accident.

I liked Maximum Overdrive. King has become kind of unbearable as of late though.

>Stephen King known for expecting good adaptations of his work AS-IS
That doesn't sound like King at all, dude's even gone back and Lucas'd some of his better work himself. I think the more likely reason is that Kubrick, a known asshole himself, shit all over his work first and THEN King held a grudge. I'm guessing OP is just some underage redditor that thinks Kubrick is the pinnacle of film.

he's becoming an old hate-filled political curmudgeon like Kurt Vonnegut did right before he died. and since King was always kind of douchey, he is even worse

Kubrick is a hack. Rosemary's Baby and the Exorcist are leagues beyond that symmetry baby's soulless OCD fits.

Do your research and you'll find stories of King being involved with the production
The only director who ever told him no was Kubrick.

Or do you really think the It and The Stand movies had to be as loyal as they were just because?

I forgot how dumb the Dreamcatcher film was. I think I only remember it because my friends mom is in it.
But King is sort of a hack. I mean, it's commercial fiction that you can buy at the supermarket. The film's usually elevate the stories tbqh.

As much as IT annoyed me with it's poorly written adult sections with characterization that didn't fit the child sections and his obvious shitty self insert MC, there were some things IT did really well that it's obvious the movie is going to miss. IT was entirely based around how kid's imagination's can turn things that are out-worldly innocent into horror, such as a clown or a dark basement. The sections about the town's history and evil that would just happen were great and are probably going to get cut.

>auteurs not over pedophiles

>>85821855
I think he just stopped giving a shit about adaptations due to the crapshoot they turned out to be. He just lets someone else do it and is now content with his work still being there.

>>85821855
He liked Under the Dome. No matter what you think of him as an author he's not great at adaptations of his work.

>straight-up normie stories like Shawshank and Green Mile turn out to be blockbusters

You don´t know what blockbusters mean, Shawshank redemption was a commercial failure in it´s time.
