Stephen King has transcended to that special level of societal acceptance known as the "lovingly take you for granted because we assume you'll always be around" stage It's not meant as an insult, more as a testament to how long you've sustained a solid level of quality to the extent that people just assume it from[...]
But it still is Stephen King related.

Though famed author Stephen King recently admitted that even he was surprised by just how good Andy Muschietti's adaption of his novel It turned-out to be (even going so far as to see it twice), one has to wonder if King didn't have some kind of psychic premonition that the film was going to be something[...]
Stephen King may have written himself into his own epic Dark Tower epic fantasy series and banned the president of the United States from watching his movies, but the man isn't a total egomaniac There are some hard facts that simply can't be denied, such as the percentage of Stephen King adaptations that, despite the promise[...]

In the time it takes for you to read this sentence, Stephen King will have already written two novels, a screenplay and three short stories OK…maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's an understandable assumption when you look at the lineup of adaptations already in the works So here we go:
The Dark Tower[...]
