Now....I hope there's a decent movie made of it (as opposed to the inferior TV mini-series treatment that "The Dome" received). I know that Stephen King doesn't care for the movie version of "The Shining" that Stanley Kubrick did, but I'd like to see a director with comparable skills do a film treatment of this novel. It deserves it.
