‘King on Screen’ Is The New Stephen King On Film Documentary Coming Soon [Trailer]

Stephen King

If you’re like our managing editor Josh Korngut and have always wanted a Stephen King documentary, then today is your lucky day. King on Screen will see the cameras turn to the man behind the legacy this fall.

Synopsis

In 1976, Brian de Palma directs Carrie, the first novel by Stephen King. Since then, more than 50 directors have adapted the master of horror’s books, in more than 80 films and series, making him the most adapted author alive in the world. What’s so fascinating about him that filmmakers cannot stop adapting his works? King on Screen reunites the filmmakers that have adapted Stephen King’s books for cinema and TV, 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). It is a movie made for the fans and with the fans, led by an international ambition.
