Among the news items arising from King’s public appearances this week:
- Under the Dome may be an HBO miniseries. The rights to the novel were acquired by Steven Spielberg’s production company
- King has written a screenplay for Cell, so he thinks that’s going to happen. He said that he had gotten so many complaints about the ending of the book that he changed everything.
- He still plans to work on a sequel to Black House, though nothing is definite at this point
- He wonders what became of Danny Torrance
- He has an idea for a new Dark Tower book, the working title of which will be THE WIND THROUGH THE KEYHOLE. He has not yet started this book and anticipates that it will be a minimum of eight months before he is able to begin writing it.
