We’re huge fans of Stephen King at Grimm Towers – The Reaper is re-reading Revival as we speak, we’re fresh off a sold-out screening of MISERY and gearing up for our showing of CARRIE!
Dark Star Pictures has acquired North American rights to Daphné Baiwir’s feature documentary KING ON SCREEN, Deadline reports. The documentary, approved by Stephen King, “will hit theaters in late summer, with a digital release to follow in the fall.”
Deadline details, “KING ON SCREEN offers audiences an intimate sit-down with directors who have adapted King’s work for the screen, looking at the movies and shows that have brought his body of work an entirely new life — both the ones that reached the top-tier echelons of pop culture history and those that fell by the wayside into obscurity.
“Among those sitting down for interviews in the film, which world premiered at Fantastic Fest last year, are Frank Darabont (SHAWSHANK and GREEN MILE), Mick Garris (THE STAND), Mike Flanagan (GERALD’S GAME, DOCTOR SLEEP) and director and special makeup effects titan Greg Nicotero (CREEPSHOW, MISERY), to name a few.”
“Daphné has done a spectacular job of showcasing the talented filmmakers who brought the work of Stephen King to life in moving images,” said Dark Star Pictures President, Michael Repsch. “As a lifelong King fan, I could not be more excited to bring this film to audiences across North America and have it as a part of the Dark Star family.”
