You think? I haven't read that book in a few years, but as bleak as some of it is, I think it could be pulled off with a "hard" R-rating. The real problem with the TV miniseries is just how damn boring it is, plus King made a major mistake IMO by minimising the character of Joe, the feral kid, in his adaptation of the book to miniseries. Joe was one of my favorite characters in the book, and he's barely in the 6-hour miniseries version.
If ever a King adaptation was worthy of a proper remake, this is the one. I'd love to see it as 2 seperate movies, each around 3-hours long, and filmed in 65mm. Hey Chris Nolan, anything on your plate after
BATMAN 3?
