Stephen King Returns To Small Screen with Haven

Source:Variety
September 29, 2009


Variety reports that Stephen King has signed on to turn his novella The Colorado Kid into an hourlong series for indie studio E1 Entertainment titled Haven.

The project centers on a spooky town in Maine where cursed folk live normal lives in exile. When those curses start returning, FBI agent Audrey Parker is brought in to keep those supernatural forces at bay -- while trying to unravel the mysteries of Haven.

The article points out that Scott Shepherd will serve as showrunner and exec produce with Lloyd Segan and Shawn Piller, all three of whom were exec producers on USA Network's version of The Dead Zone.

Two more Dead Zone alumni, Sam Ernst and Jim Dunn, are writing the pilot and will also serve as exec producers.

More when we hear it!

That's not what The Colorado Kid is about. Nothing like it.

I love King's stories and his writing, but nothing he does ever translates well to TV or movies, save Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption, or The Green Mile.
Nunya is right. There is nothing Supernatural about The Colorado Kid. It is just a mystery story where a regular guy goes across the country and dies. Good book, don't get me wrong, but I do not think that TV people seem to read the books anyway.

We had Eureka (fail) and Fringe. King should focus on writing more and let Peter Jackson make the Gunslinger series.

That's the description in the Variety post.
