Considering the results of the movies based on his writings, that he has been involved in, NO!!!

Agreed, he's much better in book form.

Most novelists do not write the screenplay. J. K. Rowling didn't write any of the Harry Potter films, though I believe she was a consultant on all of them. Screenwriting is actually quite different from novel-writing.

I thought SK wrote the original TV series, maybe he didnt, but i thought he had so I figured he had experience with it _________________ http://theyard.netii.net/"You can catch more flies with honey than vinegar but if you pull their wings off they'll eat whatever you give them!"

I'm pretty sure SK did the screenplay on the Shining mini-series. It was OK but not as good as the Jack Nicholson movie.

I didn't know he'd written the TV mini-series, Spooky. I can see in that case why you were wondering if he'd written movie scripts.
