Many of Stephen Kings' movies have been adapted to the big screen, but there are some that haven't had the chance yet and have a lot of potential.
The stories written by Stephen King have been so popular for decades that many of them have been adapted to the big screen, sometimes more than once and even spawning franchises, but there are many books that haven't become movies yet but have a lot of potential.
Insomnia not only has the horror and fantasy elements typically found in a Stephen King novel, but it also connects to other stories in King's macroverse, mostly the Dark Tower series, with Ralph and his friend Lois learning about the existence of the Crimson King and Ralph having a vision of the Dark Tower. Ralph also appears in the book Bag of Bones, Insomnia mentions a serial killer from Gerald’s Game, and has a cameo from IT’s Mike Hanlon.
The Long Walk has been close to getting a film adaptation a couple of times, the first one in 1988 when George A. Romero was approached to direct the project, but it never happened. In 2007, Frank Darabont got the rights to the movie adaptation of The Long Walk, but it never came to be, and most recently, New Line Cinema was announced to be working on an adaptation, announcing André Øvredal as director in 2019, but there haven’t been any updates since then.
5 Later Later is a crime horror novel published in 2021, set in the late 2000s and early 2010s. It tells the story of Jamie Conklin, a young boy living in New York City with his single mother, Tia. Jamie has the ability to see and talk to the ghosts of dead people, and these have to answer all his questions truthfully.
