Stephen King Was Killed on “Mr. Mercedes” Last Night
Hot off the box office success of IT, King just died for another adaptation of his work.
Over the years, Stephen King has made cameo appearances in a handful of films, mini-series’ and TV shows based on his stories, including Maximum Overdrive, Pet Sematary, Sleepwalkers and “Under the Dome.” He just continued the tradition on last night’s episode of the Audience Network’s “Mr. Mercedes”!
On last night’s sixth episode of the series, an adaptation of King’s 2014 novel, main character Brady Hartsfield had a daydream sequence inside of a diner, wherein he imagined that everyone in the building had been brutally murdered. Among the bodies littering the diner? Stephen King himself, playing a freshly-dead cook.
“Mr. Mercedes” airs every Wednesday night on the Audience Network.
“Mr. Mercedes follows demented killer Brady Hartsfield, who taunts a retired police detective Bill Hodges with a series of lurid letters and emails, forcing the ex-cop to undertake a private, and potentially felonious, crusade to bring the killer to justice before he is able to strike again.”
Brendan Gleeson leads the show’s cast as Detective Bill Hodges, along with Harry Treadaway (Penny Dreadful) as Brady Hartsfield.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
