“The fact that they made a great change of the genre – made me nervous. Apparently, Stephen King loved him.”

In King’s book, Ray Garraty (Cooper Hoffman) wins the competition and simply exceeds the eldest, following a mysterious figure in the dark. The film takes things in a much more explosive direction. Competitor Peter Mcvries (David Jonsson) Pistols down for the eldest in a brutal act of revenge after Ray was killed.

Hamill explained:

“I mean, we should have changed it if he didn’t do it. But he approved it, and I’m glad he did it. I said to Lawrence:” If I had done my job correctly, when shooting me, the entire audience should burst into applause. ”

“And after a couple of tests of tests, he said:” You will be happy to know, there was a great joy when you get it. “I thought:” Oh, well.
