King Preparing a Doctor Sleep Book Tour

ohjoey@me.com (Joe Camillieri) — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:55:17 +0000

Just a little news from the Stephenking.com forum from Ms. Mod, when asked about a book tour for Doctor Sleep she replied:

We have the dates and cities all set up but the publisher needs to find venues in a couple of the locations. The tour in Europe is a lot farther behind in the planning other than having the couple of weeks in November set aside and that France and Germany will be the only countries involved this time around.

Cool beans.

Dark Tower News from Ron Howard and Imagine Entertainment

ohjoey@me.com (Joe Camillieri) — Fri, 17 May 2013 00:18:48 +0000

Brian Grazer and Ron Howard released some news from the Cannes Film Festival:.

From Yahoo:

After getting rejected by two studios on an ambitious multi-platform treatment of Stephen King’s seminal novel series The Dark Tower, Grazer, Howard, Akiva Goldsman and King streamlined their original ambition to adapt nine volumes into three features and two limited-run TV series. Now, Media Rights Capital is committed to make a single movie with Russell Crowe as the gunslinger Roland Deschain, with more movies coming if the first gets results. This isn’t set in stone, as Grazer tells me that he has just been approached by a Silicon Valley investor willing to finance Dark Tower as originally constructed, Now it’s a matter of deciding what path to take.

Sounds like some good news.

Cell to Begin Shooting This Fall

ohjoey@me.com (Joe Camillieri) — Wed, 15 May 2013 13:49:47 +0000

From Shock Till You Drop:

“On the eve of the Cannes Film Market, Benaroya Pictures and Miscellaneous Entertainment’s newly formed international sales company, International Film Trust, has added a new title to their Cannes slate: the Stephen King adaptation Cell, starring John Cusack.

IFT has acquired the remaining international territories for Cell with Benaroya Pictures now on board to finance and co-produce.

The film will be directed by Tod “Kip” Williams (Paranormal Activity 2) and shooting begins this September.

When a powerful signal is broadcast across mobile networks worldwide, cell phone users’ minds are instantly and dangerously re-programmed. Heading north through New England in search of his wife and son, Clay Riddell (Cusack) is joined by a group of survivors hoping to fend off the bloodthirsty and hyper-connected “phoners.””

3rd Limited Run Stephen King T-Shirt

ohjoey@me.com (Joe Camillieri) — Tue, 14 May 2013 17:41:25 +0000

Limited Run Design #3 is based on the hilarious autobiographical tale from Stephen’s non-fiction book, On Writing. The surreal mash-up design takes the ridiculous fictional product created by Stephen’s brother and spins it as an electro-pop band from the late 70s/early 80s. Anyone who has read On Writing will undoubtedly appreciate the subtitle title “Love and Adverbs.”

Buy it HERE.

The Dark Man - An Early Poem by King

ohjoey@me.com (Joe Camillieri) — Tue, 14 May 2013 15:45:55 +0000

Cemetery Dance has announced they will publish The Dark Man as Limited Edition Hardcovers on July 30th.

"Randall Flagg came to me when I wrote a poem called 'The Dark Man' when I was a junior or senior in college. It came to me out of nowhere, this guy in cowboy boots who moved around on the roads, mostly hitchhiking at night, always wore jeans and a denim jacket. I wrote the poem in the college restaurant on the back of a placemat, but that guy never left my mind."

— Stephen King

The Dark Man: An Illustrated Poem

by Stephen King

NOTE FOR COLLECTORS:
The first 5,000 trade hardcovers printed will be SLIPCASED and shrink-wrapped with a bonus, collectible Glenn Chadbourne Limited Edition bookmark featuring a Dark Man drawing that doesn't appear in the book! (Don't know what a slipcase is? Click here to see some photos of other ones we've produced.)

About the Book:
Stephen King first wrote about the Dark Man in college after he envisioned a faceless man in cowboy boots and jeans and a denim jacket forever walking the roads. Later this dark man would come to be known around the world as one of King's greatest villains, Randall Flagg, but at the time King only had simple questions on his mind: where was this man going? What had he seen and done? What terrible things...?

i have ridden rails...

More than forty years after Stephen King first wrote his breathtaking poem "The Dark Man," Glenn Chadbourne set out to answer those questions in this World's First Edition hardcover featuring more than 70 full-page illustrations from the talented artist behind The Secretary of Dreams.

i have slept in glaring swamps...

This Cemetery Dance Publications hardcover is a true marriage of words and art, with Chadbourne pulling the images from King's imagination and illustrating them in magnificent detail. You'll discover hidden layers and mysterious secrets for years to come as you return to these stunning pages.

i am a dark man...

So who is the Dark Man and why is he traveling the country? The answers are terrifying....

Ghost Brothers to Tour As a Concert

ohjoey@me.com (Joe Camillieri) — Fri, 10 May 2013 12:46:08 +0000

From USA Today:

It's not unusual for a popular musical to be staged as a concert, and national tours of Broadway shows happen all the time. But Ghost Brothers, which premiered in spring 2012 at Atlanta's Alliance Theatre — with Mellencamp's music and lyrics, King's book and musical direction by Burnett — may have seemed a likelier candidate for further development in another full-out stage production, perhaps with an eye on Broadway.

Instead, a cast of 15 troupers and a live band will perform the show at concert venues in 20 cities throughout the Midwest and Southeast, kicking off at Bloomington, Ind., Oct. 10 and wrapping up Nov. 6 in Grand Rapids, Mich.

Tickets for the tour go on sale May 17 (10 a.m. ET) at aeglive.com, where a complete tour itinerary is also available.
