Exclusive: Mick Garris Talks Adapting Stephen King's Bag of Bones for Television"Bag of Bones is something we tried to do as a feature for two or three years," Garris tells us, "but the way features are now, if it's not about teenagers or a sequel or a remake, forget it. We wanted to do something much more adult and passionate than studios are making now. It's a ghost story for grown-ups. Television is the only place you can do that."
No you fucking pathetic Hack-of-all-Hacks. Television is the only place you can produce such epic pieces of shit as you have and somehow get away with it.
1408? No teenagers, sequels, or remakes.
The Mist? No teenagers (other than the one that was killed early), sequels, or remakes.
Misery? No teenagers, sequels, or remakes.
The Shawshank Redemption? No teenagers, sequels, or remakes.
The Green Mile? No teenagers, sequels, or remakes.
Every single Stephen King property he has had a hand in is horrible. They just LOOK horrible. Then you get to the script and subsequent performances - also horrible.
The likely reality is that no studio will back his destined-to-suck projects.
Fuck I wish Garris would just retire and become a Wal-Mart greeter. But he's likely find a way to botch that as well.
