KING ON SCREEN

KING ON SCREEN

Directed by Daphné Baiwir | 75 min | France, Belgium

In 1976, Brian de Palma directed Carrie, based on the first novel by Stephen King. Since then, more than 50 directors have adapted the master of horror's books —some more successfully than others— in more than 80 films and series, making him the most adapted living author in the world. 

King on Screen asks more than 25 directors, including Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Walking Dead), Tom Holland (The Langoliers, Chucky), Mick Garris (The Stand, Sleepwalkers), and Taylor Hackford (Dolores Claiborne, Ray) what's so darn fascinating about his writing that prompts filmmakers to keep adapting his books?

Preceded by the short film: MISSING BY MIDNIGHT

Directed by Tara Natalia | 6 min | Canada
