Titolo: IL TALISMANO diventa serie TV

Here's the news brief from Reuters:
Friday August 20 1:38 AM ET 
Spielberg to bring King novel to ABC
By Josef Adalian and Cynthia Littleton
NEW YORK (Variety) - Multimedia moguls Steven Spielberg and Stephen
King are joining forces
to bring King's novel ``The Talisman'' to ABC as a four-hour
minseries.
The novel follows a young man's perilous journey to find a mysterious
talisman that holds the key to
saving his mother's life. His travels take him into a parallel
universe discovered by his father, a
treacherous world where the son is forced to battle demonic forces at
every turn. King wrote the
1984 book with Peter Straub.
Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy will serve as executive producers of
the project.
ABC would not comment on the project, which is in the early
development stage as a co-production
between Spielberg's DreamWorks and Kennedy-Marshall Co. DreamWorks
also declined to
comment, while representatives for Kennedy-Marshall could not be
reached.
There's no word yet on an airdate for the TV adaptation, and sources
stressed that ABC has yet to
see a script for the mini. King, who was seriously injured in June
when he was hit by a car near his
home in Maine, is not believed to be involved with the production.
But the horrormeister's creepy creations are no stranger to the small
screen. Recent King adaptations
that ABC has served up during sweeps months include this year's
``Storm of the Century,'' 1997's
``The Shining'' and 1995's ``The Langoliers.''
The ``Talisman'' project also marks the second major TV miniseries
Spielberg has committed to
executive produce. Spielberg is spearheading the megabucks, 20-hour
alien abduction miniseries
``Taken,'' which is set to run in the fall of 2000 on cable's Sci-Fi
Channel.

Beh, sempre meglio di Mick Garris, credo! E poi erano anni che si parlava di
un interesse di Spielberg per il Talismano. A me la notizia fa un enorme
piacere, primo perché mi è piaciuto molto il libro, secondo perché leggendo
i nomi coinvolti dovrebbe trattarsi di un buon progetto.... spero di non
essere poi clamorosamente smentito!
Ciao
Will

 buonissimo...
Mmh... io ho ancora in mente un incubo che feci qualche anno fa:
Ero al cinema davano un film sui dinosauri tratto da un libro magnifico, ma
a parte gli effetti speciali il resto era infantile e stupido!
Usciti dal cinema mi misi a leggere la locandina e il nome del regista era
Steven Spielberg!!!
Ci pensate lo stesso regista di capolavori quali Duel, Incontri ravvicinati
del 3° tipo, Schindler's list e Saving Private Ryan!!!
Meno male che dopo mi sono svegliato, ma se ripenso a quell'incubo ancora mi
vengono i brividi!
Brrrrrr
