As with what happened to Star Wars, at some point the commercialization of the story just overrides the author's intent. Then again most of the movie adaptations of King's stuff was garbage so par for the course I guess. At least he's getting filthy rich for nothing but rehash. Doctor Sleep looks like a 20 year old movie from the looks of the trailer.
Well said.
And let's be honest...
A lot of King's books have terrible resolutions/endings. He is very overrated.
Sometimes, the movies were better.
The great Stanley Kubrick's film, "The Shining", was a lot better than the novel.
As I'm sure most know, the hedge maze was not in the novel, and the ending was totally different.
I greatly prefer the film over the novel.
Christine is another adaptation that I prefer over the novel. And I consider John Carpenter, its director, to be one of the most underrated directors of all time.
