Well, i figured it was inevitable. it turns out that sometime soon, yet another Stephen King novel might be going to the big screen. normally i wouldn't care, however this is by far my FAVORITE book.

Which also means i can expect it to suck in the theators. This is in part due to the fact that it is one of (if not THE most) the most difficult books by said author to read, and therefore will be the most difficult to turn into a film. As such the film is expected to be directed by "Wrong Turn" director Rob Schmidt.

Now for those of you (i expect to be the majority) who do not know about Insomia, it is about Ralph Roberts, 70 years old and recently widowed, begins to suffer an unsual form of insomnia causing to wake up sooner each night. eventually he begins to have "hallucinations", seeing these colored auras around people, and soon learns there are much larger things at hand than could be possibly imagined.

Now if youve read any of the "Dark Tower" series, this book is FILLED with reference to it, so...yeah.

look it up or just whatever.

God what was that one where the character was a writer and used a nasty alter ego when he wanted to write something mean but then the alter ego takes over? I liked that one.

This reminds me of when i saw 'It' as a kid. That movie freaked me out big time.
