Stephen King’s ‘Carrie’ comes back…to off-broadway
.
Looks like we haven’t seen the last of Stephen King’s Carrie. King’s novel was made into a feature film in 1976 starring Sissy Spacek, then the story became a broadway musical in 1988 opening to poor reviews and closing after only 21 performances, losing a ton of money ($8 million buckaroos!)
.
According to The New York Times, New York’s MCC Theatre plans to retool the musical for modern audiences by cutting some of the more campy songs and humanising the character of Carrie’s mother, this time reopening as on off-Broadway venture.

“By opening off-Broadway, in a smaller and far different production, I think Carrie would receive a fair, fresh look that had nothing to do with its legend,” said MCC’s co-artistic director Bernard Telsey.

Pet Sematary: Romanzo di King sarà di nuovo riadattato
HOLLYWOOD - Lo sceneggiatore del film “1408″,(un film del 2007 diretto da Mikael Håfström, tratto dall’omonimo breve racconto di Stephen King incluso nella raccolta Tutto è fatidico), Matthew Greenberg ha firmato un contratto per scrivere una nuova adattazione del film “Pet Sematary”, basato sul libro di Stephen King.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura, produttore di “G.I. Joe: la nascita dei Cobra”, produrrà il film per la Paramount, riferisce The Hollywood Reporter.
King ha adattato il suo racconto horror per il cinema nel 1989. Il film originale ha avuto Dale Midkiff, Denise Crosby e Fred Gwynne, poi e stata data vita al sequel di meno successo Pet Sematary II con Edward Furlong.
Un regista deve ancora unirsi al progetto.
