The novella was adapted theatrically by director – and frequent King collaborator – Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) in 2007.

Spike’s TV series rendition retains the original premise and small town setting, while focusing on brand new characters with brand new interpersonal issues.
