I thought the movie sucked but the concept is intriguing enough for a tv show.

Id be interested if maybe this was a mini series or a one off thing....but if they're trying to turn it into a series.......I dont know

I liked the film. If you get the blue ray/DVD you can watch the film in black & white the way Frank Darabont (director) wanted.

Still my all time favorite Stephen King short story

Although the trailer seems to be more mystical / religious.. Like I would be fine if they explored the human dimension like in the film but continued on with the Survivors


***SPOILERS****





the ending in the novel leaves it open to interpretation. Do they make it to Hartford? Or did the mist cover the entire eastern seaboard. Like I think it would be cool to explore that and see if David, Mrs Reppler and company makes it out

The ending of the movie is what made it. A TV doesn't have a de facto ending, so I don't see this being done well.

This.

I know a lot of people didn't like the ending of the film. At first I was one of those people because I liked the novella so much that I thought it was a slap in the face...

But honestly the way the movie ended was so poignant that if the movie ended like it does in the novel, people would be even more pissed because it's so ambiguous. In the movie put yourself in David's shoes and if it looked there was no other way out of the mist and the only solution was death... I mean it's brutally moving and epic. Another reason why watching it in B&W to offset the stark contrast of the character's decision. It's powerful

Now that you say that, I *really* want to watch it in black and white.

The movie was so bad it was actually funny.

I actually thought the ending was it's only redeeming value.

 

[Atomicles]

The movie was utter shit IMO. Therefor, I shall not be watching this.

Wow this show was really bad. More like something you'd see on the Lifetime Movie Network than a Sci Fi show....

 

[Mook]

Fuck, really?

 

[VenomousDSG]

I won't spill the beans in case people want to watch it, but it was really bad.

 

[Sprayin]

Oh, it aired? I'm probably gunna check it out.

 

[IDAFC21]

Im not.
