  • Cool! Hopefully it will be available afterwards as I will be at work during the live cast. :-[
  • I'm watching it now through the ActiveX plugin. Could be interesting! Frank and Steve aren't there yet (at 2:05 pm)
  • It really wasn't much different than an ordinary press conference. There were two questions at the end from people on the internet. The chatroom was cram-packed with people typing away in stream of consciousness that I couldn't follow and wasn't shown to Steve or Frank (thank God -- I think my IQ fell by 10 points reading some of it!).
  • Stephen King Also Sends A Chilling Message To Filmgoers



    NEW YORK, Nov. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- At a press conference today for the highly anticipated film THE MIST by Academy Award nominated director Frank Darabont ("The Green Mile," "The Shawshank Redemption"), Stephen King, whose novella the film is based on, gave his blessing of the film adaptation as well as sent out a chilling message to anyone who dares to give away the film's ending.

    Stephen King stated, "Frank wrote a new ending that I loved. It is the most shocking ending ever and there should be a law passed stating that anybody who reveals the last 5 minutes of this film should be hung from their neck until dead."

    About THE MIST

    David Drayton and his young son Billy are among a large group of terrified townspeople trapped in a local grocery store by a strange, otherworldly mist. David is the first to realize that there are things lurking in the mist...deadly, horrifying things...creatures not of this world. Survival depends on everybody in the store pulling together...but is that possible, given human nature? As reason crumbles in the face of fear and panic, David begins to wonder what terrifies him more: the monsters in the mist - or the ones inside the store, the human kind, the people that until now had been his friends and neighbors? In this legendary tale of terror from master storyteller Stephen King, the thin veneer of civilization is stripped away, the masks are discarded, and the true horror is revealed as us.

    Written and directed by Frank Darabont, THE MIST stars Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden, Andre Braugher, Laurie Holden, Toby Jones, William Sadler, Frances Sternhagen, and Jeffrey DeMunn. Frank Darabont and Liz Glotzer served as producers.

    When crediting this film, please note that it is a Dimension Films' film being theatrically distributed in the U.S. by Metro Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (MGM).
