Ignatius Martin Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke the next morning with a headache, put his hands to his temples and felt something unfamiliar, a pair of knobby, pointed protuberances. He was so ill-wet-eyed and weak-he didn't think anything of it at first, was too hungover for thinking or worry. But when he was swaying over the toilet, he glanced at himself in the mirror above the sink and saw he had grown horns while he slept.
The second son of a renowned musician and doting mother, Ig Perrish had a privileged life and expectations of a bright future with his childhood sweetheart, Merrin Williams. But life takes an unexpected dark turn when Merrin is brutally killed and suspicion falls hard on Ig.
A year passes, but Ig is nowhere near over his grief or his rage . . . feelings that come to a head in a lost evening of drinking and hate. When he wakes the next morning he discovers that he has undergone a surreal transformation, and is in possession of an incredible power. It isn't long before he turns his terrible new abilities towards vengeance. Unfortunately Ig is about to learn that when it comes to revenge, the devil is in the details . . .

THE STORY:
Amidst the schemes that have taken hold of Gilead, there sits the grieving Aileen Cort, the girl who wanted nothing more than to be a gunslinger—and to claim the heart of the stoic Roland Deschain. But what does the death of the man who raised her and Roland’s involvement in his mother’s murder mean for their budding romance…and for Gilead itself?
The Stand Graphic Novel Finally Comes to Bookstores
Marvel Comics and DoubledayBroadway have reached an agreement to allow The Stand: Captain Trips, the hardcover graphic novel adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand, to be distributed in the general bookstore market beginning in January 2010. The book was originally released exclusively through comics shops in March after Marvel acknowledged that it did not have permission from the prose book's original publisher, Doubleday, to distribute it to general bookstores.
の共同インタビュー記事です。ウェブでの公開は7月21日ですが、ちょっと古い記事です。タリスマンの部分だけですが、Lilja's Library で今年4月に取り上げられてますし。

M-O-O-N spells the start of the third volume of Marvel's critically acclaimed adaptation of Stephen King's horror epic. Nick Andros has hit the road and teamed up with the child-like Tom Cullen. After the horrors of Captain Trips, a bike trip through Oklahoma and Nebraska sounds like fun, right? Except it's tornado season, True Believers, and not everyone Nick and Tom meet is on the side of the angels. Hell hath no fury like Julie Lawry, another survivor of the plague...

I can't confirm this with Scribner because they close down early on Fridays in the summer, but there's a rumor going around the grapevine that the signed limiteds will be going on sale through their website this weekend. You could try this link but if you don't see the signed limited showing up, use the Search function on their site.
Rand Holston at CAA is currently out with the film rights to Stephen King's forthcoming novel, Under the Dome. Scribner is publishing in November and Holston is co-agenting with Darhansoff, Verrill, Feldman. (King's literary agent is Chuck Verrill.) The novel follows the members of a small Maine town inexplicably sealed off one day by an invisible and impenetrable force field. Stranded inside the dome—which is erected at a random and unfortunate circumference that separates those within the town—a group of locals, led by an Iraq war vet, band together to fight rising social unrest and, ultimately, the barrier itself. King announced that he had finished the book back in January and, in his column for Entertainment Weekly, spoke of its massive size—it's more than 1,000 pages. The heft may be making it tough for Hollywood execs to see the story working as a feature; one insider said all the activity in the book is causing some to think Dome makes more sense as a miniseries. Other massive 1,000-plus page works by King—like It and The Stand—both wound up on the small screen, the former as a TV movie and the latter as a miniseries.
I've been authorized to release the official information from Scribner about the collector's editions, so here you go:
Scribner will publish two Collector’s Editions. The regular Collector’s Edition will have a special jacket with a belly band, a stamped case, four-color printed endpapers, a ribbon marker, and will contain a set of 27 special trading cards featuring drawings of characters from the book (drawn by cartoonist Matthew Diffee). These drawings will also be featured in the book—as a frontispiece image and on the 26 part title pages. The book will be shrink-wrapped and Scribner will print only 25,000 copies of this edition, priced at $75.
Scribner is also offering 1,500 copies of a signed, limited Collector’s Edition. This contains all the special elements listed above, plus the book will be signed by the author. This is priced at $200.
We also asked Roth whether the movie based on Stephen King's Cell was still happening, since we hadn't heard much about it since Roth was doing press for Hostel: Part II two years ago. "I walked off 'Cell' kind of quietly," he admitted. "There was just sort of a difference in opinion on how to make to film and what the story should be, and there's a different direction the studio wants to go with it. It was very friendly because it's the Weinsteins, they made 'Inglourious Basterds' and we're all friends. I said, 'I'm not really interested in doing the film this way. You guys go ahead and I'm going to make my own films.' I've also learned that I really am only interested in directing original stories that I write, that's another thing I learned through that whole process."
When you're famous, everybody accuses you of everything, from petty theft to the murder of John Lennon.にちょっと笑った（本当に困ってるでしょうが）。
It has come to our attention that there is to be a Collector's Edition of Stephen King's UNDER THE DOME. While we have the 1st US trade on our site for pre-ordering, we won't be putting the Collector's Edition up until sometime next week or so, but wanted to go ahead and get an idea of those that may be interested in a copy of this state.
Following are some of the highlights of the Collector's Edition:
Belly band
Jacket (will be the same jacket as on the trade state)
Housed in a stamped case
4 color printed endpapers
Ribbon marker
Deck of cards (apparently this relates to the book)
Shrinkwrapped
25,000 copies
The proposed publication price of this edition of $75.00 and we will be taking pre-order at 10% off, or $67.50.
So if you are interested in having me put you down for a copy of this state, please drop me an e-mail as it won't be on the site for a week or so. E-mail me at: KimあっとまーくCamelotbooks.com

PWCW: What are your plans for the paperback edition of The Stand?アメリカのアマゾンからならともかく、アメリカのコミックショップから輸入するのは無理、という人もいたかもしれません。版型にこだわらないなら、9月には購入できそうですよ。
RJ: For the time being, we are focused on hardcover launch and are not at liberty to comment on the trade paperback editions.
DG: We’re so concentrated right now on making the hardcover a huge success that we haven’t yet given thought to what we’ll do for a Trade paperback release. We haven’t yet for the Dark Tower books, but things always change.
"Dolan's Cadillac" ..... will likely go straight to DVD or at best get a limited theatrical release later this year.と書いており、劇場公開されるとしたら12月が有力、でもまだ公開するかどうか流動的、というところかと。
映画「ドランのキャデラック」はDVDストレートになりそうで、劇場上映の機会があっても今年後半の小規模な公開になるかもしれない
“One day during preproduction, I was in on a conference call about the choreography, and Michael fell asleep. On another occasion, he called my wife, wanting the phone number for wherever I was that day. She gave it to him. Michael called back five minutes later, on the verge of tears. He hadn’t had a pencil, he said, so he’d tried to write the number on the carpet with his finger, and he couldn’t read it. My wife gave him the number again. Michael thanked her profusely…but never called me.
The video contains some of the best, most inspired dancing of Jackson’s career. If you look at it, I think you’ll see why Fred Astaire called Jackson ‘a helluva mover.’ You’ll also see Jackson’s sadness and almost painful desire to please. Yes, I am strange, his eyes say, but I am doing the best I can, and I want to make you happy. Is that so bad? This is a sadness that’s all too common in people who possess talent in amounts so great it has become a burden instead of a blessing. Despite being extraordinarily beautiful (although he had probably already begun the elective surgeries that would ruin those amazing looks), Jackson was painfully shy, and difficult (sometimes impossible) to talk to, but watching that old video still makes me happy…and no, that’s not bad.
It’s worth noting that he was never convicted of anything in criminal court, and when I asked Mick—who hung out with Michael occasionally— he was emphatic in his belief that Michael Jackson was indeed innocent of the abuse allegations. In the court of public opinion, however, he was found guilty of Weirdness in the First Degree, and ended up secluded in one haunted castle after another. Finally, he died in one. Strange man. Lost man. And not unique in his passing. Like James Dean, Elvis Presley, Kurt Cobain, Heath Ledger, and a dozen others we could name, he just left the building far too soon. Because, man oh man, that guy could dance.”
