Stephen King’s story has three canceled modifications (and logical)

The huge Stephen King’s working group from a Golden mine of Hollywood, to the extent that there is no kind of film air conditioning in King’s books at any specific moment. Of course, not every King’s novel has the same amount of Hollywood love. For every book such as “Carey” With its ongoing reshapingThere is a book like “The Eyes of the Dragon”, which has never received a movie adaptation during the forty years since its publication. The book is a fictional adventure story for a family, one with a few Enjoyable contacts for the famous “Dark Tower” series.

The first attempt to adapt the “Dragon eyes” came in 2000, when the French company WAMC Entertainment has bought rights and Plan to convert it into a moving movie. Ideally, the film had a budget of $ 45 million and will be released in the early first decade of the twentieth century, but production stopped and lost WAMC the rights of the book in the end.

The second attempt came in 2012, when SYFY channel announced They were planning to convert “dragon eyes” into series. This project faded with a little interpretation. The third attempt came in 2019, when Holo announced that she was adapting the book to a TV program. Unfortunately, the producer/producer Seth Graham Smith Declare Holo has canceled the project. It is not clear whether Covid is the great element that killed the project (as was the case for many films and other shows), but it certainly did not help.

As of today, there are no plans anywhere to adapt “dragon eyes”, and even if there is, there will be no guarantee that these plans will not collapse during a year again. What is the deal here? Why is it very difficult to get an adaptation from the ground?

“Dragon eyes” was first published in the eighties, while Stephen King was at the top of the world, and all the best best -selling books immediately overwhelmed him. In the same period that this book was published, “Pet Sematry”, “IT,” “Christine”, “Dark Tower” and The Short Story Collection “Skeleton Crew”. This was a period where Several of the king’s best novels have ever published In the fast caliphate, which makes the “dragon eyes” look worse in comparison.

What is the problem with that? Well, do not forget the characters, and do not put the imagination everything that was embodied. He was also out of the king’s brand at the time. He was known as a horror writer, not a very fictional writer, and the general consensus on “dragon eyes” was that the king was better in a familiar lane. Perhaps the most worrying thing is that “dragon eyes” was supposed to be a book for children. The innocent, strong feelings were not the story what the king’s fans expected or wanted from him.

This will not be a big problem if King is completely taken care of picking up the children’s market, but it didn’t do it either. He wrote in the introduction to the book that he wanted to write a story to enjoy his young daughter, but a large part of the first action focuses on the character of Roland and his marital struggles with erectile dysfunction. (Or maybe Roland is supposed to be homosexual; I have never been able to determine this part.)

The result was a book that was not completely for adults and was not completely for children, existing in an embarrassing medium, not easy to market. Will there ever be the adaptation of “dragon eyes”? I do not know, but if there is probably not to reach the highlands of his more adult work.
