We have a new movie coming out in the theaters, hopefully sooner rather than later. If you are a fan of King's older work, one of his shorts, "The Reach" from The Skeleton Crew is about to be made. King is most proud of this story. He is often quoted as saying this story is the one he would "most like to be remembered for after his death"The story is about an old woman who knows she is about to die and her visions of what she knows to be ghosts of people she once knew. It is a story that follows her and her journey to be with her dead husband.
I also found out the King is working on a sequel to "The Shining" called "Dr Sleep". This is exciting. I don't know if they should bother making a movie from it, unless it is undoubtedly better than the first movie (personally I love both renditions of the "The Shining". Nothing can beat Jack Nicholson and that crazy face through the door. The Miniseries was closer to the book and was interesting to watch.)
The following is a short clip of King talking about the book and what he is trying to do with it. I enjoy when he speaks to students. I am not sure why he relates to well to that demographic. Maybe it is because he has a teacher's heart. Maybe it's because those are the people who are reading his books the most. They want to know someone else is having a harder time in life than they are at the moment.
