Bag of Bones Trailer

It's been about a decade since I read Stephen King's "Bag of Bones" novel and frankly I don't remember a whole lot about it except that I enjoyed it and it was sort of spooky. In December, there's a four-hour A&E miniseries starring Pierce Brosnan and Melissa George that looks like it'll be pretty cool that's based on it. I think it was originally going to be a movie but they decided to make it a bit longer and the mini-series will be 4 1-hour episodes... so I've heard. Anyway, Mick Garris (“Sleepwalkers,” “The Stand,” “Desperation” and the Steven Weber version of “The Shining” (which I really like)) directed from a teleplay by Matt Venne ("Fear Itself").

The story centers on a rich novelist who seems to be getting advice from his late wife as he helps a young widow in a custody battle with her son’s wealthy grandfather.

  1. I'm really looking forward to this. Bag of Bones is at or near the top of my list of favorite Stephen King books, and making it a mini-series instead of a two-hour movie will hopefully keep them from having to hack the story up.

  2. I really wish I had time to go back and read the book again. I've got too big of a stack of unread stuff as it is though. Hell I haven't even read Lisey's Story, Under the Dome or Full Dark No Stars yet. I need to take about a year off from work and catch up.
