I don't think justice would be served with The Dark Tower. Same thing with The Talisman...that movie is slated to begin production (some day), but I honestly hope neither one ever gets made.
Both The Stand and It were somewhat less than spectacular, and though I think they were good considering they were made for tv, they could have been so much better.
I think they were pretty good for TV miniseries. If they were made into theatrical movies, they would be much to short and leave too much out. So it's a matter of sacrificing quality by making a TV movie or sacrificing parts of the story by making a theatrical movie.
The Shining (with Brian from WINGS) was pretty good too, though they seemed to have diluted the horror aspects of the story a bit too much for my tastes.
They are making a TV miniseries for Desperation that I am looking forward to. Check out the casting for this movie:
Desperation
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. ... The piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.
~ Howard Phillips Lovecraft
