Having read the novella less than six months ago I am quite interested in seeing the movie (same for The Body/Stand By Me). I have no idea what happened with that director. I haven’t paid attention to him and his career. On the other hand I was really impressed by Brad Renfro’s performance in the movie Bully and his passing was really a shame. On the casting value alone this adaptation of King seems like a worthwhile viewing.
Have always avoided watching this movie, especially after what we know about it. But the story for me is top tier King, and this review has kind of made me need to see it!!! Good job! And if you think Sir Ian McKellen is soft and fluffy.....just try to get past him!!!! 👏👏👏(Friends clap).
