    Produced by JJ Abrams.. as a big Stephen King fan, I'm more than a little intrigued!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGHupqE1LCI

    Stephen King and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions have teased the impending arrival of a secret new Hulu project titled Castle Rock, named after the fictional Maine town that serves as the setting of many of the author's stories.

    Stephen King on Trump, Writing and Why Selfies Are Evil
    "JJ Abrams and I want to invite you to take a trip to Castle Rock. Soon. Be afraid," King warned on Twitter after the minute-long teaser was revealed.

    The video that accompanied the video lists the names of many of the characters, places and creatures that lurked in and around Castle Rock – Shawshank State Prison, It's Pennywise, 'Salem's Lot's Marsten House and Needful Things' Brian Rusk – as well as King creations far removed from the Maine town, like Misery's Annie Wilkes, The Shining's Danny Torrance and John Coffey and Mr. Jingles from The Green Mile.

    Each character and place is connected by pulsing veins, suggesting that whatever Castle Rock is, the project has created a universe where the King stories are happening simultaneously.

    The ending is going to be atrocious.

    Let Lost go, dude. It was 7 years ago.

    JJ is nowhere near the writing on this one. He is only E.P. (and only on the first episode, according to IMDB)

    Not sure what to make of it. I love Stephen King and the idea sounds crazy great. Hope they can pull it off.

    The trailer isnt doing it for me so I'll wait till people have reviewed it to see how it turned out.

    It’s produced by JJ Abrams Bad Robot, so it’s more likely it will look and feel more like 11.22.63, than Under the Dome.

    I watched the first 3 when I got in from work this morning and quiet enjoyed.


    A good mystery and I'm sure I missed most of the Stephen King Easter Eggs throughout it.


    Looking forward to episode 4 next week.

    You don't really need to know anything about King's stuff really.

    A lot of SK's stuff doesnt translate well onto film. Theres something in his writing that works inside your imagination to create a multi-dimensional richness that that the two-dimensional work just cant capture... I look forward to this and hope it works..

    If you dont know anything about his books youre probably better off as you wont be comparing and the film or tv show can stand or fall on its own..
