Under the Dome の映像化権に動きが

Tweet

Publishers Weekly に、11月発売の長編 Under the Dome の映画化の話が載っています。

Page to Screen: Stephen King's 'Dome' Headed to TV?

Under the Dome は1088ページ（米 Scribner 版）と IT、The Stand 並かそれ以上の長さのため、ハリウッドの偉い人には映画化に難色を示す人もいそうなので、劇場向け映画だけでなく、テレビ向けミニシリーズも視野に入れて、映像化権の交渉が行われそうだと伝えています。

ちなみに、リメイク話がある IT は劇場向け映画になるんじゃないかといわれています。

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.
