While the Dark Tower isn’t headed to tv screens and theaters any time soon, Stephen King fans can look forward to another novel by the best-selling author getting an adaptation.
Bag of Bones will be adapted as a four-hour mini-series for A&E.
The novel centers on a man who is unable to stop grieving for his dead wife. He returns to the lakeside retreat they shared and somehow gets involved in a local custody battle.
The whole time he’s trying to play hero, he’s literally being terrorized by nightmares about his wife. Bag of Bones is scheduled to start shooting next month and is expected to air over two nights later this year.
The series will star former Bond Pierce Brosnan in the lead role.
Cool - it's been forever since I've read it, but I remember thinking it was one of the better King books I had read.
