But this is better.
I was pretty stoked to read that A24 has secured the rights to Stephen King's fantasy novel Fairy Tale and is developing it into a 10-episode TV series. Paul Greengrass (the guy who invented the Jason Bourne franchise), who was originally set to direct a feature version, will now co-write the expanded script.
I fucking loved this book and am seriously hanging out for the adaptation.
great not only another book to my already structurally unsafe to be read pile, but another to add to the to_be_watched listed which currently sees me needing to live until I am 97 to watch them all.
i always have trepidation about adaptations from King novels. The track record is . . . . varied. But not sure if it is because the themes and nuance of the novels just cant possibly be reproduced faithfully or they go a bit haywire when the movie execs try to mess with his formula/storyline to fit time or budget or whims of fancy or whatever the excuse is.
