One of the cool things about Stephen King‘s work getting tons of new adaptations is that King has been taking part in all kinds of interviews lately, giving us a whole lot of insight into topics we’re all hungry to talk with him about. Do you know, for example, which not-yet-adapted story of his he’d love to see adapted?
On that note…
In a lengthy interview that Yahoo just published, King shares his feelings on this year’s IT, Gerald’s Game and “Mr. Mercedes,” while also revealing his thoughts on the King-inspired “Stranger Things.” Yahoo even asked King to name some past adaptations of his work that maybe deserve a second chance.
“I don’t know, I don’t know. There are ones that I frankly don’t understand why they reviewed so badly,” King responded. “Guess I’ve got to go back and look at Dreamcatcher, which has just been kind of lashed. I’d like to take a look at that again. And I frankly never understood why people didn’t like Cell, because to me that was a terrific, eccentric movie with some really eccentric, strange performances in it. John Cusack at his best, and Samuel L. Jackson is terrific. So I would say Cell for sure.”
“Dreamcatcher, I don’t know, I better look at it again,” King continued. “I thought it was okay at the time.”
