If you've been waiting for news about the illustrated edition of The Little Sisters of Eluria plus The Gunslinger coming from Donald M. Grant, here's the latest: The book has been sent to the printer and is being proofed. There will be a traycased and a slipcased edition, both illustrated by Michael Whelan. It will contain new art as well as the art originally published in the first edition of The Gunslinger. Grant says: "Price, release date and other details will be posted on our web-site and published in our newsletter. We expect that this will be announced in four to six weeks."
Pocket books will be issuing a 10th-anniversary trade paperback edition of Bag of Bones, featuring bonus text from King this fall. It includes a Q&A with King where he talks about ghosts, secrets, and being alive.
The Children of the Corn remake is gearing up to start filming in the Quad Cities area of Iowa during September. The remake is being written, directed and produced by Donald Borchers, a producer on the original movie, which was filmed in the Sioux City, Iowa, area and spawned numerous sequels. The budget for the production is estimated at $2 million. Borchers says, "It's no longer requisite to have a happy ending. We wanted to stay faithful to the decisions in [King's] original story."

Hey Folks!
This very cool press release just came across my desk:
Beginning Monday, July 28, mobile phone users and web surfers can enjoy Stephen King's latest work in a groundbreaking series of 25 original video episodes. The series of video episodes was created through a unique partnership between Scribner and Simon & Schuster Digital, Marvel Entertainment, and CBS Mobile and is believed to be the first comic-style book adaptation specifically developed and produced for viewing on today's most popular small screen platforms. Starting today, viewers can go to www.NisHere.com or www.simonsays.com to see a preview of the episodes, which will also be unveiled at Comic-Con International in San Diego today at a panel event featuring the creators of this pioneering venture.
The episodes are based on King's original and previously unpublished story "N." the tale of a psychiatrist who becomes the victim of the same mysterious and deadly obsession as his patient, and which will be included in his forthcoming collection of short stories Just After Sunset (Scribner, November 11, 2008) and published as a comic book miniseries by Marvel, launching in 2009. Featuring sophisticated production values, the episodes were drawn by award-winning comic-book artist Alex Maleev, whose work has appeared on NBC's "Heroes," and colored by famed comic-book colorist José Villarrubia, best known for his collaborations with Alan Moore. They were adapted by Marc Guggenheim, co-creator of the ABC-TV series "Eli Stone" with creative oversight from Stephen King. The episodes are presented in a highly designed "pan and scan" format, complete with comic book-style graphics, an original score, sound effects, and a full cast of voiceovers that includes Emmy and Golden Globe award nominee actor Ben Shenkman.
Stephen King commented: "I'm always interested in new delivery systems for stories and always curious about how those systems work with the old storytelling verities. This one, it seems to me, works extraordinarily well."
"'N.' combines-cutting edge graphic content with the hot new digital medium for entertainment to showcase Stephen King's unique talent, and we think consumers will be excited to try this never before attempted way of previewing his upcoming story collection," said Carolyn Reidy, resident and CEO of Simon & Schuster, Inc. "We are grateful to CBS Mobile and Marvel Entertainment for partnering with us to bring this wonderful Stephen King story to mobile customers and online consumers."
"Stephen King has always been ahead of the curve," said Susan Moldow, Executive Vice President and Publisher of Scribner. "With 'N.' he has once again proven himself to be an innovator of the first order, offering up a classic, chilling, and compelling King story in an entirely new format that can reach on-the-go consumers, and keep them coming back to find out how things unfold. 'N.' re-imagines the notion of the first serial, delivering prepublication content to where the new readers are."
Beginning Monday, July 28, and running through Friday, August 29, the video episodes (each running approximately two minutes), will be released in serial fashion on consecutive weekdays for five weeks, at no additional charge to mobile users, through the largest mobile carriers....
At the same time, paid download customers will be able to purchase blocks of 5 episodes for $0.99 or buy a Season Pass for the entire series for $3.99.

Hi Folks!
DUMA KEY is coming NEXT WEEK so now is your time to place your order:

If you're not checking out http://www.NewsFromtheDeadZone.com, here is just
a little bit of the news you've been missing!
Here's an audio excerpt from DUMA KEY:
http://www.simonsays.com/content/book.cfm?tab=31&pid=585976&agid=5
There's an essay by editor Chuck Verrill at Amazon entitled Duma Key: Where It All Began, and you can read the beginning of the novel in parallel with the short story Memory to see the differences between the two:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1416552510/052379122979/
Here's the Publishers Weekly review with mild spoilers:
"In bestseller King's well-crafted tale of possession and redemption, Edgar Freemantle, a successful Minnesota contractor, barely survives after the Dodge Ram he's driving collides with a 12-story crane on a job site. While Freemantle suffers the loss of an arm and a fractured skull, among other serious injuries, he makes impressive gains in rehabilitation. Personality changes that include uncontrollable rages, however, hasten the end of his 20-year-plus marriage. On his psychiatrist's advice, Freemantle decides to start anew on a remote island in the Florida Keys. To his astonishment, he becomes consumed with making art--first pencil sketches, then paintings--that soon earns him a devoted following. Freemantle's artwork has the power both to destroy life and to cure ailments, but soon the Lovecraftian menace that haunts Duma Key begins to assert itself and torment those dear to him. The transition from the initial psychological suspense to the supernatural may disappoint some, but even those few who haven't read King (Lisey's Story) should appreciate his ability to create fully realized characters and conjure horrors that are purely manmade."
