At some point in the future, the number of Steven King's adaptations on the screen will exceed the number of stories written by the horror master for this page.

At some point, it became clear that King, which produced only a few adaptations based on its own work, would have to give control of its significant original material and allow every new interpretation to do its job. However, he gloriously made his (usually pretty positive, Aside Stanley Kubrick's "glitter") Opinions on adaptations known over the years, and always seem to be interested in the ways the directors distinguish their version of the story of his. Several films and shows of King have so far feel as unique properties in their place, with Deeply personal and sick funny and sick The monkey story is a great recent example. Hence, when Danish director Christian Thorpe approached King with the idea of ​​a TV version of his 1980 novel "Fog", King made his hopes for the series clear (for the inverse): Don't let it be "ordinary".

Unlike many other properties of the king (save us, Mike Flanagan's "Dark Tower" series), "Fog" already had a very good adaptation of the record until the Torpe began dreaming of a TV version in the 2010s. The future "The Walking Dead" TV Master's TV, Frank Darawant, directed and wrote a repetition of the 2007 film starring Thomas Janeein as a father who is captured in the grocery store-all with his son and several intense foreigners-when fog filled with creatures.

"I sat at a very early stage and I wrote it -to G -Din King for what I suggested to do to turn it into a full show," Thorpe explained in an interview with Invers in 2017. "We took the heart of his novel, which cares about what people do when they are blinded by fear," the film director continued, calling the book "Incredible". He added: "I thought it was, unfortunately, incredibly timely and relevant to tell a story." According to Thorpe, King responded with just one request: "Until I did nothing, he was entirely on the ship and I had his full support."

Torpe called King's blessing "incredibly generous and liberating" and used the original material as a story to a story of "radicalization in all aspects of life", from religion to politics. The "fog" version that ended with only 10 episodes, with Hollywood reporter Noticing in 2017 that he was a victim of the Paramount network rebrand and apparently did not withstand the grades to be included in the new channel. Instead, a bit of a show known as "Yellowolston" gathered, leaving the version of the small screen of "fog" as just another short chapter in the big book of Steven King's adaptations.
