I remember when ‘The Green Mile’ was released in book form. Stephen King released it in six parts. It was torture to have to wait for the next one! Absolutely loved the movie. One of the better King adaptations (my favorite is ‘The Stand’).
One of my favorites was "The Dead Zone" with Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen. I read somewhere that Stephen King wasn't that fond of it, or most movie adaptations. In fact, I read he wasn't particularly thrilled with "The Shining", which was a tremendous success.
