Yup, That’s the reason some of the TV adaptions of Steven King books didn’t turn out too good, they left out so much that really made the books. Of course, he wrote a lot of books that were really long, so it would have been a bit hard to make a whole ‘made for TV’ movie, but at least they could have tried to make a better one. But your right, they for the most part change too much, and really should stick to what the author wrote, which is what the fan base wanted to see in the first place.

Oh wow I swear you are reading my mind today. I was just thinking of some of the Stephen King movies that didn’t work out well in retelling the book etc. Many of them have but they are usually the ones that he worked on personally. The one he says he regrets the most is the first Shinning with Jack Nicholson and since then he hasn’t passed over the rights for other screen writers to do as they wish. That he favors doing the screen writing himself.
