Perelman Comes Aboard Spielberg Pet Project
Wed Oct 15, 3:35 AM ET
By Chris Gardner
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Vadim Perelman, who made his directorial
debut on DreamWorks' upcoming Oscar hopeful "The House of Sand and Fog," is
near a deal to take the helm of "The Talisman," a longtime pet project of
Steven Spielberg ( news ).
Based on the 1984 fantasy novel by Stephen King and Peter Straub, it centers
on 12-year-old Jack Sawyer, who goes on a quest in the living world and a
parallel world known as the Territories to acquire a talisman that will save
the life of his dying mother and the queen of the Territories.
The book, which marked the first collaboration between King and Straub,
spawned the sequel "Black House."
Spielberg and producer Kathleen Kennedy have been developing the project for
nearly 20 years, back when she was an executive at Spielberg's Amblin
Entertainment. It has taken on various forms throughout that time and
recently was close to being made into a four-hour miniseries at ABC.
Spielberg will take executive producer credits on the feature, with Kennedy
handling producer chores on the Ehren Kruger-penned "Talisman." The film is
a co-production of Universal Pictures and DreamWorks.
Perelman's "Sand and Fog," which stars Jennifer Connelly ( news ), Ben
Kingsley ( news ) and Ron Eldard ( news ), will have its worldwide debut
Nov. 9 at AFI Fest 2003 in Hollywood. It opens in theaters Dec. 26.

The Talisman movie/miniseries update
Lilja's Library (http://www.Liljas-Library.com) reports:
"Film Force recently did an interview with Mick Garris and there he got a question about what happened to The Talisman miniseries. Here is his answer:
GARRIS: Talisman is an interesting thing. I had written the script for the four-hour mini-series - this is something Spielberg was going to do as a feature for a long time. It had been decided, "Let's do it as a mini-series," everybody was excited. Kennedy/Marshall were producing,
Spielberg was involved tangentially at DreamWorks - and I wrote the script and I really enjoyed doing it. I put a lot of heart and soul into that. It was, again, a very personal one. I was really happy with the script, and the studio really was happy with the script. Kennedy/Marshall thought it was
terrific, Spielberg had given it his blessing - ABC read it, "We love this." And then I didn't hear from them for weeks. "What's going on? We've got to set our dates and do all this." Finally, I got a call from Kathleen Kennedy saying the network said they can't afford it. Spielberg had only given his blessing for one network. Both NBC and CBS have told me they would go with it tomorrow. But Spielberg got excited about it again, and was considering doing it as a feature. So maybe working with some of the people he's working with now, to rewrite it as a feature. I don't think anything has happened since then. There is the possibility that it will come back as a mini-series
or as a feature. Who knows?"
Drehbuchautorin Ehren Kruger wird für Steven Spielberg und Kennedy-Marshall (als Teil eines Vertrages mit Universal) das Drehbuch zu "The Talisman" verfassen.
Mick Garris gab einen Kommentar zur kommenden Mini-Serie "The Talisman" ab:
"Ja, das mit Talisman stimmt. Das Geschäft wurde vor kurzem gemacht. Zusammen mit DreamWorks, Kennedy-Marshall und ABC. Wann es soweit sein wird ist noch nicht bekannt, aber ich werde mit dem Skript, anhand des ersten Entwurfes von Richard LaGravenese, beginnen. Die Besetzung ist noch nicht bekannt."
Die Website Darkhorizons.com berichtete:
"Smilin Jack Ruby" sprach mit Mick Garris über seine kommende Adaption von Stephen King's "The Talisman", woran er arbeiten wird wenn er und seine Frau aus Kuba zurück sind. Die Produktion der Vier-Stunden-Mini-Serie hängt davon ab, wie lange der Streik der Schauspieler andauern wird.
Mick Garris (The Stand, Shining, ...) wird bei "The Talisman" Regie führen. So berichtet es "Creature Corner".
18 Jahre wartet der Roman schon auf seine Adaption als Film. Stephen Spielberg kaufte damals die Rechte an dem Roman, verwirklichte ihn aber nie. Höchstwahrscheinlich ist er Produzent der 4-Stunden-Mini-TV-Serie.
