New movie adaptation planned of something Stephen King once said

Following the success of The Monkey and ‘Salems Lot, horror fans will be excited to learn that a production company is planning a new movie adaptation of something Stephen King once said.

All the legendary writer’s books are currently optioned or in production, even TommyKnockers, so producer Stewart James decided to take a different approach to adapting his work.

“Well, obviously I’m a huge fan of Stephen King,” said Mr James

“I mean, I’ve never read any of his books or anything, but that clown picture made an extraordinary amount of money, didn’t it?”

Mr James believes that with so many adaptations of King’s books currently in production, the concept of Stephen King books as films could soon become a little stale

“Yeah, everyone’s jumping on the whole Stephen King book bandwagon, so I’m steering clear of that and I’m going to make an adaptation of something he once said instead.

“Originally, I was going to adapt his famous quote – ‘Monsters and ghosts are real and they live inside all of us’ – but Scorsese got there first, goddamn greatest living director.

“So, instead, I’m going to adapt another thing he once said when he was in a shop – ‘Can I have some milk please. A quart.’

“It’s pretty exciting. We’re going to split it into two movies – ‘Can I have some milk please’ next year and ‘A quart’ the following year. Obviously, we’re going to expand on the thing he said, but I’m definitely staying true to the spirit of it. This is about wanting some milk, and nothing’s changing that.”

If successful, Mr James plans on adapting something Stephen King probably once briefly thought about.
