A Terrible Stephen King Movie Is Blowing Up On Netflix If you turn around in Hollywood these days, there’s a distinct possibility that you’re going to bump into a Stephen King adaptation. As one of the most heavily-adapted authors in history, the horror icon’s back catalogue is in a constant state of development, and even now there are eight TV shows and seventeen movies in the works based on his novels, short stories and other collections. While the King fascination has resulted in some...

Warrior is based on a concept that Bruce Lee pitched to Hollywood in 1971. His pitch was unsuccessful – the studio execs didn’t think they could sell an Asian leading man! – and the legendary martial arts icon died two years later, his vision unfulfilled. Bruce Lee’s daughter, Shannon Lee, finally brought it to life in 2019, executive producing  Warrior alongside the likes of  The Fast and The Furious director Justin Lin and series creator Jonathan Tropper, who brought us the Emmy-...

Advertisement One of European comedy’s most reliable stock types is the dunderheaded academic, that erudite boob who knows so much about so much and yet hopelessly little about human nature. There’s not really an equivalent in the American cinema, but in parts abroad, this figure can be found getting his laughs (and they do always seem to be male, the cluelessness inextricable from the masculinity) by attempting to wrestle the messiness of life into order through hypotheses, theorems, and ...

CinemaBlend Copy to clipboard While Stephen King has worked in a wide variety of mediums over the course of his stunning and storied career, what’s pretty remarkable is that he has spent shockingly little time in the world of comics. He has penned an adaptation of Creepshow (which was a film directly inspired by the EC Comics he loved growing up); contributed to a special Marvel comic in 1985 called “Heroes for Hope: Starring The X-Men” (which was made to raise awareness of hung...

10 of the best Stephen King book endings Kings reputation for bad endings isnt really a fair one. Image: mashable composite/amazon Stephen King gets a lot of flack for his endings. Its been happening for years now. Opinion pieces have even been written on the topic, some of which the horror author has responded to himself. In the second chapter of the film adaptation of It, King made a cameo in a brilliantly meta scene in which he played a cantankerous shopkeeper, casually dismissing author B...

When I was a kid, I was a voracious reader of Stephen King novels. Back then, I probably would have told you that my favorite of his books was IT (and just to get it out of the way: the TV miniseries is equal parts corny-as-hell and cheesy fun, the first movie from 2017 is pretty okay, and IT Chapter 2 is one of the worst things Ive ever seen in my life, and we shall never speak of it again). With the benefit of hindsight, though, its pretty clear to me that the best of Kings work can actual...
