DeeCee Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) CBS has commissioned a straight to series 13 part season of Under the Dome. Based on the book by Stephen King. The first episode is to be directed by TGWTDT director Niels Arden Oplev. He previously directed the pilot for Unforgettable and 2 further episodes. The series is due to air next summer.http://www.deadline....plev-to-direct/An interesting note is that Under the Dome features a couple of references to Jack Reacher.

lilmac Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Under the Dome is a 13 episode summer series based on the stellar (IMO) thriller/horror novel by Stephen King. I am reading it right now for the 2nd time and I very much want this to turn out good. I know the script deviates a bit from the novel so I'm a little nervous that the powers that be will screw this up somehow. ha ha http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Under_the_Dome_(TV_series) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnetMan Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I really enjoyed this book. However, I'll be more forgiving on deviations from the novel on this project than I would be whenever they get around to the miniseries for 11/22/63. Regardless, I don't think King's work translates all that well unless Darabont has a finger in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle17 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 The Stephen King mini series begins on June 24th I'm getting a Jericho feel from the trailer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_J_iF83YUY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leatherface Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 At least I don't think Mick Garris has anything to do with this. He is responsible for the worst King adaptations (The Bag of Bones, Desperation, Sleepwalkers, the TV miniseries remake of The Shining).

Leatherface Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Starts tonight in the US (not sure about other countries). I'm looking forward to it. Hope it's good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeCee Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 (edited) For a second I thought I'd forgotten about it. Starts tonight here. Only problem is I'll have to suffer through the adds. Edited June 24, 2013 by DeeCee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherface Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 It was okay. The story threads it starts are somwhat intriguing but it definitely could have been better. Lefevre now kind of looks like crap and she isn't even that old. Robertson is a miscast. She may be 23 but looks about 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle17 Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 the show had a lot of interesting story line's and it feels like the acting was a little weak. I really like the idea of a conspiracy with the town hall stocking up on propane tanks. I will be back to watch next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altbum Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Not too bad. Quite a few changes from the book already but it's interesting enough that I'll probably stick around for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to excuse me, since I didn't watch last night, but it is ON DEMAND, so I'll get to it eventually. I just read something about King thinking about writing an episode if it gets picked up for another season. Was Dean Norris his awesome, totally badass self?
