"Unlicensed" key[...]

It was back in October when the news came down that director Mike Flanagan and bestselling author Stephen King were teaming up for an eight-episode Prime Video series adaptation of King's classic 1974 novel Carrie At the time, the report noted that a writers' room was being opened, meaning that folks were looking to start on[...]

Only a day after shutting down rumors that Twitter overlord and guy with a bullshit title in the upcoming Trump regime, Elon Musk, kicked him off Twitter for making a joke about Musk being Trump's new first lady (a joke that King didn't make but wished he had), it looks like bestselling author Stephen King[...]

Well before Twitter overlord Elon Musk was named by incoming POTUS and convicted felon Donald Trump to co-head the "Department of Government Efficiency" with windup toy Vivek Ramaswamy (because nothing screams "efficiency" more than having two half-talents doing the work of one half-talent), he was getting into one-sided beefs with bestselling author Stephen King on[...]

Salem's Lot is known as a popular horror story by Stephen King, a mini-series, and more recently, a film that's been in development for over five years. Although the project was filmed in 2021, the release of Salem's Lot remained in limbo for more than two years before its recent drop via Max During a recent[...]

When you're making a film that comes from the mind of the renowned genre mastermind Stephen King, a lot of content needs to be covered, in some instances, it's because his characters are so detailed and fleshed-out, and in other instances, there are lengthy genre sequences that need to be adapted (which has even resulted[...]

One familiar face who's been a thorn in the side of Trump, Twitter disaster Elon Musk, and others is bestselling author Stephen King – who shared on Sunday that he was a "Swiftie" and named his favorite song (though we're not sure he was being entirely objective).

Could this be an opportunity for Twitter owner and self-proclaimed "free speech defender" Elon Musk to finally step up, put aside his personal issues, and do whatever he can to defend bestselling author (and thorn in Musk's side) Stephen King? It sure would see that Gov Ron DeSantis has set up the perfect situation where[...]

Author Stephen King is stepping up his efforts to make Paramount+ rethink their decision to end Evil after four seasons taking to social media, short and to the point, to write, "Dear Paramount+: More EVIL, please." Already on his radar is creator Robert King, no relation, and star Katja Herbers, who initially tagged Robert in her initial post, "Stephen!!![...]

Just as Paramount+ pats themselves on the back on a job well done for Evil after their four-season run, the Robert and Michelle King paranormal series received a major endorsement from horror mastermind and perhaps the most adapted author of modern times, Stephen King Star Katja Herbers and Robert King weren't letting this opportunity go[...]

When we last checked in on how things were going with Mike Flanagan, Trevor Macy, and Intrepid Pictures' upcoming adaptation of bestselling author Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" novels for television (along with two stand-alone films set within the universe), it was August 2023 and the entertainment industry was still feeling the impact of the WGA[...]

The result is a ghost story very far from the world of Harry Bosch and closer to Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, and a high-end version of a Tales from the Crypt yarn with a brutal sting at the end. Connelly is slightly tentative in his first try at a genre different from the crime universe[...]
