Spielberg, King team on 'Dome'

[Justice4all]

Steven Spielberg and Stephen King are joining forces to develop a limited series based on King's just-released supernatural thriller "Under the Dome." DreamWorks TV has optioned the book and is looking to set it up as an event series, likely for cable.

I've only read the first chapter of this book and i knew it would make a great series or movie :thumbsup:

I'm one hundred & seventeen pages (1,072 page novel) into Under The Dome & I see how excellent a mini series could be. Mini being the keyword.

This novel is classic Stephen King. :)

Not surprising once one becomes aware of the fact that he started to write this novel in 1976.

This is one of his best..........:thumbsup:
I can't wait to see the mini series.

I'll have to put His new book on the library list . It sounds like it will be a good read.

I finished the novel a few days ago. :)

I still say this novel is Stephen King's best in a long time... but... I have to say the explanation at the end was a little bit 'hokey.'

Just a little.

It made me wonder how the 'explanation' would be filmed for the miniseries.

Justice4all... what did you think of the end of the novel?

Turned into a political book to me. I think it will make a great mini series but I was really disappointed with the ending.

Do you think they will change it up for the mini series?
