The novel is a sleek (for King anyway) ride that reads at times like a slimmed-down, overly convoluted, and ultimately slight redo of The Stand. The latest to hit screens though is the long-delayed Cell, based on King’s 2006 apocalyptic thriller about a virus that spreads via a cellular signal and turns its victims into homicidal maniacs doing the bidding of a mysterious dream figure. Mercedes and The Mist are in various stages of pre-production too, and there’s even something called Cujo: Canine Unit Joint Operations that part of me hopes is a joke while the other part of me is already salivating at the prospect. Stephen King adaptations are enjoying something of a resurgence these days evident in the success of Hulu’s 11.22.63 mini-series and the currently-filming The Dark Tower with Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey.
Cell Drops the Call The latest Stephen King adaptation is thankfully not the last.
