Stephen King Movie Remakes Wish Is Right - But Ignores The Best One
Stephen King revealed the movie adaptations of his work that he thinks shouldn’t be remade, and while he’s right in choosing the ones he did, he’s also ignoring the best (and most controversial) one. Stephen King has rightfully earned the title of “King of Horror” thanks to his novels and short stories exploring a variety of characters (both human and supernatural), settings, and concepts from the horror genre, and it all started in 1974 with the publishing of Carrie. Brian de Palma’s 1976 adaptation of the novel turned Carrie into a bestseller, opening many doors for King in the entertainment industry.
Since then, King has taken readers through a variety of stories to meet different characters, settings, and explore different fears, and his works have been so successful and popular that many of them have been adapted to film and TV (sometimes both, and sometimes more than once). Of course, not every adaptation of his novels and short stories has been a favorite of King, and he isn’t shy when it comes to sharing his thoughts and feelings about them, but he has also praised some of them, even saying they should never be remade.
