Heeere's, Johnny!
Everyone knows author Stephen King. And while I have read many of his books, purely based on my age, I saw the movies adaptations long before I started reading his novels.
It is crazy how quickly Hollywood caught on to his work. His first novel was Carrie, published in 1974 - resulting in his first movie treatment just two years later - followed by the TV mini-series Salem's Lot in 1979. That one gave me nightmares for years!
From this point on, King's published works we almost instantly optioned to Hollywood. In fact, once the 80’s had arrived, there was a movie or TV adaptation every year except 1981 and 1988!
It has pretty much remained like this all the way through 2024, with new projects dropping later this year and in 2025. There has been a major appetite for King’s work, in both the literary & film worlds.
This episode is just about the 70s & 80s entries, with plenty of future material to cover!
