On ‘The Mist’: The Best Stephen King Quote Ever?
In what could be the best Stephen King quote ever, I heard word Tuesday morning that he said the following at a press conference on Monday about “The Mist,” which is based on his novella:
(Director) Frank (Darabont) (“The Green Mile,” “The Shawshank Redemption”) wrote a new ending [I love]. It is the most shocking ending ever.
There should be a law passed stating that anybody who reveals the last five minutes of this film should be hung from their neck until dead.
The statement is designed to both be a blessing of the film adaptation as well as a chilling message to anyone who dares to give away the film’s ending.
Starring Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Andre Braugher, Laurie Holden, Toby Jones, William Sadler, Frances Sternhagen and Jeffrey DeMunn, “The Mist” opens on Nov. 21.
Compared to King’s writing
Compared to King’s writing in The Skeleton Crew, this movie sucked a lot. It didnt really follow the storyline, either…
