What Makes A Great Stephen King Adaptation? | A Deep Dive Into Mr Mercedes
What makes a great Stephen King Movie or TV adaptation? Let’s tale a deep dive in Season One of Mr Mercedes to find out.
With the recent release of the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s work Salem’s Lot (2024), I thought I would take a look at what I consider to be a good adaptation of the Master of Horror’s work.
I had recently watched the 2018 series Mr Mercedes based on King’s book of the same name and I found it to be a deep character work that indeed fits perfectly into King’s universe of horror, but I also thought that there were some flaws in the shows production. I found myself looking for discussions with the cast online and researching the initial ideas that inspired King to write the story with the confluence of two ideas, a true horror story of a real life murder and the fact that Detective’s who have served the public all their lives often have a high rate of suicide into mandatory retirement.
This revelation of how King developed his ideas made me want to take a deep dive into this work in more depth, to see what makes a book to TV or Movie adaptation work?
So, please join me as we take a look at the production and realisation of a King adaptation from development to the screen and how Stephen King the Master of Horror develops his story ideas.

    K put the “deep meaning” right in your eyes. Exaggerated masked cult scenes: Scibot Cruise “stuck” while Kidman got out. Party scene: alcohol/ drugs used by H’wood, Scibots & “fraternities” for blackmail. G. Clooney gave hints: must attend long drawn out parties with his competitors + alcohol, drugs are perfect opportunities for control/ blackmail of future stars. IMO, this is what happened to Cruise before this movie. Happened to me: so-called girlfrienenemy just happened to be born the same day as my mom? Hey, it’s possible…no need for nefarious conspiracy…etc.

      Thanks for watching. That's a great way to describe the film, the characters are way over the top like in a dime crime novel, and White defiantly acts like a politician fighting dirty on the streets. It's classic storytelling in many ways, like the old James Cagney gangster movies of the 40's and 50's but Ferrara gives it a blast of his energy that only he knows how to do. Great storytelling and Great acting, can't beat it :) Thanks again.

I feel the same way about The Crazies as the Dawn remake it does just enough fan service but also is a great standalone too. Thanks for watching.

    I legit thought that you added in that "Pazuzu" white face over that scene where the possessed boy was walking around Merrin in the temple, as a joke! ... I just looked up the scene and it's legit in the film! ... I'll never understand how studios can look at stuff like that and think it looks good. I rewatched Exorcist The Beginning last night, as I hadn't watched either of the Prequels since they were released, and the shockingly bad CGI that they used for the real life locations, legit looks like PS2 graphics and surely they could have just filmed in the locations as opposed to pay CGI Artists to recreate the locations. At the end of The Beginning Merrin walks into what is clearly a Green Screened street in Rome, and Sarah (The Possessed Woman) "Exorcist Makeup" changes from scene to scene, ... in one shot she has light blue demonic eyes with a red ring around them, then she has yellow Party City contact lenses in, then she goes back to the custome lenses. It's almost like they left in placeholder shots, or rehearsal scenes.

Yep, the effects are really awful in both Dominion and The Beginning lol The studio should have just put the money into one good movie instead of two bad versions of the same film from different directors. There are bits I like in Schrader's direction in Dominion as I say in the video, but I agree with you 100% the effects are some of the worst of their time lol Thanks again for visiting The Boneyard and taking at look at this strange Exorcist sequel 🙂

    Fincher cut his teeth on some of the best music videos of the 80s and 90s, but his work with Madonna on Express Yourself, Oh Father and Bad Girl stands out as some of the best storytelling ever presented in a short form medium. It really isn't a surprise how he deals with masculinity and femineity on screen if you've seen the development from back then. The same with his camera and the way it moves around the scenes in his films. He is one of the best out there.

      Thanks for watching. That's a really cool point, I never saw it that way but I can totally see where you are coming from, I recently just read Quixote again for a sci fi film I reviewed called 'Solaris' on this channel as that movie takes heavily from Don Quixote too lol Cool coincidence as I can see what you mean after reading it again. I have always assumed that they were meant to represent Wyatt Earp and Billy The Kid just because of their names, Captain America as Earp a once outlaw type cowboy who became a law man and Hopper as the outlaw Billy the Kid. But I'm always up for new ways and interpretations of looking at movies, thanks for sharing your comments its much appreciated and I'll keep it in mind next time I watch. Cheers

    Between Easy Rider and Yellowstone which is playing now, It really tells how money, greed and power dictates how we are suppose to act, live, and carry on. I fail to see how we are free now days. We are under surveillance everywhere we go. We're basically told how much money we can make. I pick up on allot of lines from different movies that really make sense. Anything and everything you buy now days is made cheaper and don't last as it did when it was made 30, 40, 50 years ago. What used to be made of metal became plastic, and then soon becoming cardboard. All you see on TV commercials anymore are drug and pharmaceutical ads using scare tactics to get you to a doctor in one way or another. What happen to the good ole' "Maytag Man"??? What happen to freedom of speech???
