Horror Movie Talk
Writer Announced For Stephen King's "UNDER THE DOME" Film
It seems that all the talk in regards to new Stephen King adaptations has been with the epic saga, THE DARK TOWER. Rightfully so, but there IS another epic novel by King that is being adapted, that being UNDER THE DOME. It’s been known that Steven Spielberg will being working on the project that will probably end up being a mini-series, but it’s been unclear as who will have the task of writing the script, until now.
Michael Green, writer of The River, is currently writing out the screenplay for the mini-series that should be going into production pretty soon.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with UNDER THE DOME, here is the official synops:
Just down Route 119 in Chester’s Mill, Maine, all hell is about to break loose...
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day, a small town is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an invible force field. Planes crash into it and rain down flaming wreckage. A gardener’s hand is severed as the dome descends. Cars explode on impact. Families are separated, and panic mounts. No one can fathom what the barrier is, where it came from, and when — or if — it will go away. Now a few intrepid citizens, led by an Iraq vet turned short-order cook, face down a ruthless politician dead set on seizing the reins of power under the dome. But their main adversary is the dome itself. Because time isn’t just running short. It’s running out.
