Mist for T-Day

Well today must be a day for release date announcements, as BoxOfficeMojo is reporting this morning that Frank Darabont’s THE MIST, based on the short story by Stephen King, has landed a release date- and it’s a lot closer than you’d think!

November 21st, 2007 is the date to keep in mind for the early 2007 holiday season, as one of King’s cooler stories is making it to the big screen by probably the best King adaptor ever- the man behind THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and THE GREEN MILE. Darabont’s also not a stranger to the horror, as he also wrote NOES 3 (one of the better sequels) and THE BLOB remake. Basically, the beloved short story is in good hands, and I couldn’t think of anyone else I’d rather see behind the wheel.

As production hasn’t even started yet, and the cast is only rumored to be Thomas Jane, this flick is set on a fast turn-around, and I can only hope that it’s not too rushed to make that release date. Finally! A movie to look forward to next Thanksgiving (though I must say, CASINO ROYALE did a good job at rockin’ my socks off this year).
