Just because
Under the Dome failed that doesn't mean more Stephen King material shouldn't be
adapted.
The
Weinstein Company's Dimension Television is developing a TV series based on
King's The Mist novel and the 2007 film directed by Frank Darabont. The project
has the author's blessing and comes from writer Christian Torpe, who created
the successfully Danish series titled Rita.
According to
the press release, "…a seemingly innocuous mist
that seeps into a small town but contains limitless havoc. From
psychological terrors to otherworldly creatures, the mist causes the town
residents’ darkest demons to appear forcing them to battle the supernatural event
and, more importantly, each other."
Bob
Weinstein, the co-chairman of The Weinstein Company and Dimension Television
also revealed that "the terror and drama
in Stephen King’s novella are so vast that we felt serialized television is the
best place to explore them in greater depth. With this show, Christian has
created a fascinating band of characters and a story with infinite scares."
No word on casting or dates
just yet.
