Having never read the book this trailer is not very interesting. However I trust everyone's opinion on the book and may check out the movie.

I agree with the person that said the best Stephen King movies are the ones that are not touted as Stephen King movies. Can we include "The Shining"? Wasn't it made before anyone knew who King was?

I don't know about Stephen King's fame at the time; but from what I've heard the film deviates significantly from the plot and tone of the book. Its more Kubrick than King.

I've consistently heard it listed on the short list of films that are better than the book.
