Maybe it’s just the worrier in me, but there seems to be a sudden flurry of film and TV adaptations and reboots of his work. He also seems to be slowing down a bit in his book publications…there were times he’d crank out two or three a year.
I’m wondering if maybe he got some bad medical news and is trying to shore up final funds for his wife and children?
I hope I’m way off base.
He keeps seeing this clown…
I’m gonna go out on a limb and conclude that his wife and kids are fine for funds!
Slowing down at age 70? Is that all that surprising?
Especially since his wife, Tabitha, and two of his sons are also writers. Richard Bachman, though, is well and truly deceased.
^ Or is he?
He’s got another book coming out in October: Elevation
That’ll be two this year.
Plus this in September: Flight or Fright
Steve is FINE. jams fingers in ears I said he’s FINE!
Okay, he’s fine. And one can never be too rich, so keep those adaptations coming! (Doctor Sleep is coming to TV!)

Of course he’s dying. And he has been for the past 70 years.

King’s output in film and TV’s been pretty consistent through his whole career, with a peak in the '90s and a slight slow down around the turn of the century. However, the vast majority of these adaptations have been awful, z-grade crap, often based off of some obscure short story he wrote decades earlier. What’s changed is that more and more of King’s works are being adapted as major, big-budget, prestige movies. I think that’s mostly due to the market for fantasy films and TV exploding, CGI allowing a greater range of stories to be shown on screen without compromising the original material, and a greater proportion of the people deciding what movies get greenlit are from the generation of kids who grew up reading King’s books.
I’ve noticed Fred Armisen in a lot of TV shows recently.
Conclusion: Fred Armisen has ebola.

The success of the It re-make is causing a scramble for King properties. Hollywood has always been imitative, and now there’s the thing with universes and franchises
