Next month is the premier of "Under the Dome" by Stephen King on CBS (I do believe). I read the book, and it was really good (and VERY heavy and thick lol). They decided to create a miniseries of 13 episodes (I think), and I soooooo can't wait to see it.
I picked up the book on a whim when my sister-in-law was looking at books at Wal-Mart and thought to myself, I haven't bought myself a book in a long time. I guess I was meant to read it because it was awesome from the first pages...I...I just couldn't put it down. All through reading the book, I kept thinking to myself, this would make a GREAT movie. Then when I heard it was going to be a miniseries on tv...I jumped for joy.
I'm just so giddy and excited I just can't wait to see it. Next month just CANNOT come fast enough!!!
Heres a sample video of it:
UNDER THE DOME
Just keep in mind, the movie/series isn't always as good as the book. I love a lot of King's work but sometimes the movies can stray from the original work (CotC comes to mind...MAJOR diffs there), heard Bag of Bones was goofed up too (and I rather enjoyed that book myself)
ReplyDeleteOh I can agree 100% with that. Secret Window strayed a bit too...I kept pointing out where the changes were to my husband lmao. But still, it'll be interesting to see the difference on how I saw it in my mind and how it will be portrayed on tv. I expect a number of omitions and changes...but I guess we have to remember that tv can't always show what books tell, and directors have to get their grubby little hands in on it lol
