Stephen King he has a ton of novels and stories that have been adapted into movies and TV shows over the years, but there are still so many of his stories that have yet to be adapted. Many of these stories would make great movies or TV shows, but for some reason there are novels that no one has touched yet.
During a recent interview with Netflix’s Tudum, King was asked which of his non-adapted novel he would like to see made into a movie, and this was his replay:
“I think no one has ever opted for Rose Madder, which I thought would be a great movie.”
Rose Madder was a horror / fantasy novel first published in 1995 and the description of the story reads: “Rosie Daniels runs away from her husband, Norman, after fourteen years of violent marriage. During a bout of violence, Norman forced Rosie to abort their only child. Fleeing to a distant city, Rosie establishes a new life and forms new relationships. Norman Daniels, a police officer known for cruelty, uses his contacts with law enforcement to track down his wayward wife.
It’s a great story, and it sure would be a really good movie. King went on to talk about what it’s like for him to see his books taken up and adapted by saying:
“I always thought you want the best for this. It’s like sending a kid to college. You hope they don’t get in trouble, they don’t take drugs or they end bad relationships or get kicked out, but at some point you just have to leave. There are films that I absolutely love – and you probably know what they are – and there are films that I don’t like. But in any case, the book remains. The book is the boss. “
I’m sure someday Rose Madder it will get a film adaptation, but there are also many other King books that I would like to see adapted! Some of my favorites include Insomnia, The Regulators, Black House, Blaze, Rage, The Long Walk, The Eyes of the Dragon, and more!
