While it might seem surprising to some, not all adaptations of Stephen King’s works are successful. There are indeed quite a few that could benefit from being reimagined, and some simply aren’t worth revisiting.

The curb to the facade was bustling with the typical scene of an NYC film set – tables filled with soda cans and snack bags, production assistants guiding pedestrians, technicians holding up large reflectors to manage the light.
