Stephen King's Desperation

The Stephen King miniseries "Desperation" will be coming to ABC on the 23rd of May! Desperation is one of my favourite King books so I'm looking forward to seeing what it's like.

King posted this on his website -

Dear Web Site Visitors,

Those of you who are familiar with the wonderful world of television may have noticed that Desperation — probably the best TV movie to be made from my work — has been scheduled by ABC to run, not just against American Idol, but against the American Idol finals! When I see this kind of scheduling, my heart is warmed by how well I have been treated by all my friends at ABC. One can truly say that with friends like this, one doesn’t need enemas. Little joke there. But am I bitter? HELL, YES, I AM BITTER! Oh, well, good work always finds a place in time, and ours may be in the DVD racks eventually. For now, please remember that Desperation airs on ABC May 23rd. Those of you who watch will get a gold star. Those of you who don’t, and watch American Idol instead…well, just remember: I have strange powers. I have been watching you all for some time through your computers. (This is actually a power conferred upon me by the Bush Administration.) I watch you when you eat, I watch you when you sleep, and I watch you when you undress. In regard to this last comment, some of you need more stylish underwear, but never mind; the point is, I will know if you watch American Idol and if something bad happens to you, it will be your own fault.

Cordially,

Steve

I've seen some on set pics, and it looked really good. (they were on his site)
I hope some Dutch channel buys it, I'm really curious about it.
When I read that it would be made into a series, I re-read the book, and fell in love all over again, it really is a sick and disturbing book. (as many of his books are)
Many Stephen books where made into movies and series too early IMO, too little good special effects.
I love how he usually does a cameo!
Let a poor Dutchie know if he is in this one please?
