Like I told donotttrust, It's not Ron Howard's genre...but as an awesome, geeky genre piece...it'd be dead in the water after the first movie. I think having Ron Howard and Akiva Goldsmith (Who also has some REALLY awesome movies to his credit. And, at least, isn't responsible for Bat!Nipples) will help make it last as something everyone will like. Like...I'd rather have it be epic and huge and complete and good, and loss some details, then have someone make one that's absolutely perfect....and no one goes to see so it dies there. Like I'd prefer good and popular over great and dead. (And IDK much about NBC, but as someone pointed out, series on NBC and Syfy, which is also NBCs have long lives. They don't go "The ratings are down this week, bye!")
Also, the Kubrick Shining is awful. Not that Stephen King doesn't have a huge amount of clunkers (Oh, Dreamcatcher), but I understand that bugging him. It's a horrible adaption period (And I'm not generally picky about details but it sorta...ruins the whole point), and just an awful movie in general. Good imagery, but the character are all horrible. Not just Jack, but I wanted Wendy and the kid to eat it too.
