Veteran genre author Stephen King, and veteran filmmaker Steven Spielberg, are reportedly teaming up to develop a new television series based on King's latest novel, "Under The Dome", this according to Variety. Dreamworks TV has optioned the novel and is currently looking to set it as an event series, with the most likely route being cable TV. Spielberg, King, and Dreamworks principal Stacey Snider, who brought the project to the company, will all act as executive producers on the project along with Dreamworks TV heads Darryl Frank, and Justin Falvey. "Dome" follows the drama that unfolds after an invisible force field suddenly descends on a small vacation town in Maine. As the locals fight for their survival, the town descends into warring factions led by enigmatic characters. Dreamworks are beginning meetings with writers for the project, hoping to get a writer locked in before shopping the series to potential buyers. |
