I read that this morning pizzaboy. I'm excited for it. I had heard rumors that they might adapt it into a movie but this 9-hour mini-series definitely allows for more adaptation rather than a 2 or 3 hour movie.
King's stuff always works better as a mini-series, Irish.
I've always said here that I'm in the minority camp who preferred the Steven Weber mini-series version of "The Shining," as opposed to Nicholson's campy (yet iconic) version.
You just can't take a Bible length novel and adapt it properly into a two hour movie.
