Stephen King’s Next Blockbuster, 1408
Stephen King is the undisputed King of Horror and for good reason. His books are so many that you can give him the honor just for sheer numbers of collected works, but we all know that his stories are truly remarkable. Carrie, The Stand, and The Shining to name a few are some of the best horror classics of all time. The Shining is probably one of my Top 5 horror films I’ve ever watched. Probably #2 behind my favorite, The Exorcist. Even though he has more books than Britney’s got future rehab stints, you can always count on a unique story when he publishes a novel, or short story. They all aren’t “epic”, but they are all very entertaining, and written in a way like no one else can. Coming on June 22, 2007 in theaters, is an adaption of another of his short stories, 1048. The 1408 Movie is a story about a hotel room where “Roaches check in, but they don’t check out.” Starring John Cusak and the legendary Samuel L. Jackson, the 1408 Movie takes a look at the scariest hotel room of all time. Cusak, is a skeptical man of science and will try and see if the room really is what the legends say. After checking in and having a stay he has to change the way he thinks entirely. Surely, another supernatural thriller from the King. The 1408 Movie Trailer:
