There's little debate as to how much Stephen King continues to influence pop culture as the most adapted-to-screen author in the modern era It was something that actress, writer, and director Daphné Baiwir (King on Screen) realized at a young age when she read The Shining, his third book originally published in 1977 Her love[...]

It's been nearly two months since we last checked in on how things were looking with Mike Flanagan, Trevor Macy, and Intrepid Pictures' upcoming adaptation of bestselling author Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" novels as a television series (along with two stand-alone films set within the universe) – and things were sounding pretty "optimistic" (Flanagan's word)[...]

As far as series adaptations go, HBO's take on Stephen King's 2018 bestseller The Outsider was a powerhouse on intensity that we didn't see coming But as the season stalked along, it found itself not only gaining more critical praise but also earning enough eyeballs to put it above some of the cable giant's other[...]

When it comes to covering bestselling author Stephen King, we've been living in two very different worlds On one hand, Mike Flanagan, Trevor Macy & King now have us hooked on learning more about the upcoming "Dark Tower" television/film combo adaptation On the other hand, there's also the matter of King's very active social media[...]

Based on the untold chapter from Pet Sematary, Stephen King's chilling novel, Pet Sematary: Bloodlines is a terrifying prequel, and the untold story of why sometimes dead is better… Pet Sematary: Bloodlines, a Paramount+ original movie in association with Paramount Pictures' Players Label, is a Di Bonaventura Pictures Production based on the novel Pet Sematary[...]

And with that intro, it appears that Carlson has decided to tag himself into the social media ring after Twitter ringmaster Elon Musk had his ass handed to him by famed author Stephen King in Musk's past attempts to match wits with King (like bringing a picture of a chainsaw to a chainsaw fight).

The last time we checked in with how things were going with Mike Flanagan, Trevor Macy, and their Intrepid Pictures' plans to adapt bestselling author Stephen King's "The Dark Tower" novels as a television series, King offered his tweet "seal of approval" to the duo's vision of a minimum of five seasons to do right[...]

If you've been following our coverage of the back-and-forth going on between Elon Musk and noted bestselling author Stephen King over Musk's handling of Twitter – specifically, the blue checkmark/verification process that now requires payment – then you know that King's no fan And that's resulted in a series of tweet exchanges that's left the[...]

Sometimes, the jokes come too easily – as is the case of the latest chapter in "The Great Twitter Blue Checkmark War" between Musk and acclaimed author Stephen King Earlier, King tweeted about the news that Musk had "paid" to have a whole bunch of blue checkmarks reinstated – including King's- writing, "I think Mr[...]

One of those was famed author Stephen King, who has a history of Musk drama of his own to deal with "I think Mr Musk should give my blue check to charity I recommend the Prytula Foundation, which provides lifesaving services in Ukraine," King recommended to Musk, making it clear that Twitter's owner should focus[...]

And seconds after we saw the news come across Twitter (ironic, right?), we knew someone was going to pay – in this case, a lot of "someones."
