As of this writing, Stephen King has written 64 novels, five nonfiction books, and at least ten collections of short stories. To date, there are over 50 adaptations based on his massive body of work, with King himself collaborating with studios on several occasions when bringing his stories to life. From remakes of classics to all-new mini-series formats, this is a list of every upcoming adaptation from the master of horror we are most excited about.
Carrie
King’s first book, Carrie, has received several adaptations through the years, with Brian De Palma’s 1976 version being the most well-received, earning Oscar noms for both Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie. Another shot at a remake for the big screen was made in 2013, starring Chloë Grace Moretz, which received mixed reviews. This may be preempting things, but the latest attempt at a reboot, which is expected to land on TV rather than theaters, looks promising. Sources from Collider report that the telekenetic prom queen will be played by either a trans actress or an actress of color instead of a cis white woman like in previous adaptations and we are all for it.
