In today’s television news, a Stephen King novella will be coming to television:

King on King: Stephen King will adapt his 2005 novella The Colorado Kid into an hour-long TV series, retitled Haven, for indie studio E1 Entertainment. The action takes place in a town in Maine where cursed people go to live peacefully in exile; when their curses return, an FBI agent is brought in to fend them off while unraveling the town’s mysteries.
Much of the creative forces behind King’s TV adaptation of The Dead Zone for the USA Network are behind this one as well, which bodes well since Zone was a show we all watched and enjoyed and definitely did not find out about just now.
When Stephen King stuff comes to TV it’s usually pretty good. Freaky, but good. Are you familar with The Colorado Kid? Do you think it will make a good TV adaption? Who should play the main parts?
