the key is that great king movies are made by directors strong enough to ignore 80% of what king wrote
think about it - Shining - best King film of all and had very little to do with details of King's book
Same for Misery and Shawshank Redemption.
The big failures are the people who try to do King on the screen and end up with silliness. I liked the Mist but found the creepy creatures looked too much like a Tim Burton flick - should've avoided trying to look like King describes things.
