Flanagan shares:
“I experienced the strangest evolution of this relationship [with Stephen king] because when we do Gerrard’s gameI haven’t spoken to him at all. He kept his distance. He gets a lot of recognition… Steve approves of everything. Every actor, every big decision. You surrender to him and he agrees.
But there was a wall and he felt very comfortable on the other side. He always said, “This book is mine, and the movie is yours.”
I didn’t meet him until after I finished my PhD. Sleep is done. We brought the film to Bangor and screened it for him. I sat next to him watching Doctor Sleep in an empty movie theater…I was sick all the time. I just stared at him, which actually made the experience weird. But I asked him about that separation [he keeps] Then he said, well, I can’t lose. If the movie is great, people will say, sure, it’s great. It’s based on a great book. But if the movie is bad, they’ll say, the book is better.

Gugino revealed that for her, it was great white shark At 5 years old. Siegel explains why when you are asleep In her opinion, it is one of the scariest movies ever made.
Siegel said: “I have a real problem, reality is not reality. Imagine waking up from a coma and your life is completely different and your whole family will say how wonderful this life was for you. Look at your wonderful life. You’re thinking, this doesn’t feel right. And this woman is staring at you…So ultimately, you just have to accept it. You say, okay, this is my life now. And you have accepted this reality. Then I thought, haha, what a joke. I’ve been lying. This is psychological torture at the most specific moment. It’s terrible. Peter Gallagher. Eyebrow.
