@sunala, it is said this is to be a TV series ...

I read in Following the Nerd that:

"We are hearing that Hodges will be played by the legendary Brendan Gleeson, while killer Hartsfield was set to be played by the late Star Trek star, Anton Yelchin and will now be played by Penny Dreadful star Harry Treadaway.

Ally McBeal showrunner David E. Kelley will serve as showrunner on the series, which is being produced by Sonar Entertainment. Jack Bender (Lost) is set to direct."

Wikipedia stated:

"As of May 2016, Stephen King said that the series has been "back-burnered". However, on May 26, 2016, David E. Kelley announced that the series 10 episode series was ready to go and will air via AT&T Universe and Direct TV. Kelley is still slated to serve as producer and show runner alongside Jack Bender. The series is slated to debut in 2018."


@mzlg thanks for the heads up! I didn't hear this news, and I hope that they will go forward with it and that it will be worthy of Stephen King's excellent trilogy!
