Sam Raimi Recalls Stephen King Helping To Launch His Career While Dismissing Comparisons Between Send Help And Misery
A strange behind-the-scenes story from the Stephen King adaptation.
James Caan, known for iconic films like The Godfather and Misery, has died, according to his family.
Not just one of the best Stephen King adaptations, but an all-time great thriller.
The infamous scene where Annie Wilkes hobbles Paul Sheldon in Misery is cinematic legend, but what she did to him in Stephen King's book was worse.
James Caan earned acclaim for playing Paul Sheldon in Misery, but it turns out that Jack Nicholson almost starred in the Stephen King adaptation.
Misery, the film based on Stephen King's novel, is a perfect slow-burn horror movie. We've got some great suggestions from the same genre.
Castle Rock season 2 stars Lizzy Caplan as Annie Wilkes - but it's not quite the same version of the character that Kathy Bates played in Misery.
From co-creators Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason, the Hulu original Castle Rock is a psychological horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, where good and evil, and darkness and light, are brought out in the residents of the small Maine woodland town. And in Season 2, budding psychopath and nurse from hell, Annie Wilkes (played to perfection by Lizzy Caplan), gets waylaid in Castle Rock and finds herself in the middle of the battle between the Merrill crime family and the Somali community. During this 1-on-1 phone interview with Collider, co-showrunner Dustin Thomason talked about …
Sam Raimi and Columbia Pictures are getting back together for a little tropical vacation. With blood and frights! The untitled horror project will be written by Mark Swift and Damian Shannon, who penned 2017’s Baywatch and 2009’s Friday the 13th. Raimi will direct the film and produce under Raimi Productions. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the tone will be something like “Misery meets Cast Away.” Now that’s a marriage built to last. Imagine Kathy Bates marooned on an island with a debilitated Tom Hanks, her obsessed affections spilling into torture, in the hopes of escaping on his …
Hulu has released the official full-length trailer for Castle Rock Season 2, and boy howdy does it look like a humdinger. The original series was revealed to be anthology in nature at the end of Season 1, as it pulls from various Stephen King books to craft one serialized, over-arching story each season that is set in King’s multiverse. The first season drew heavily from The Shawshank Redemption, while it looks like Season 2 is anchored by Misery with Lizzy Caplan filling the role of Annie Wilkes. The character was memorably first brought to the screen by …

The first trailer for Season 2 of Hulu's Castle Rock is here at long last! Fans get their first good looks at star Lizzy Caplan as Annie Wilkes, a struggling mother employed as a nurse (and a psychopath in the making), as she arrives in the title town inspired by the many works of Stephen King.

There's never been a better time to stan a horror King. Just over a month after IT: Chapter Two dances its way into theaters, Hulu's Castle Rock—the series that mixes and matches the various nightmares of Stephen King—will return for season 2 on October 23. The second chapter of the horror hit will borrow a hefty dose from King's 1987 novel Misery, with Lizzy Caplan joining the series as insane super-fan/amateur ankle surgeon Annie Wilkes. (Kathy Bates famously portrayed the character in Rob Reiner's 1990 film adaptation.) Eighth Grade breakout Elsie Fisher …
Season 1 of Hulu's Castle Rock was a treasure trove of homages, Easter eggs, and story crossovers for fans of horror icon Stephen King. Season 2 looks to continue that trend by taking on Misery, King's 1987 psychological horror novel that centered on nurse Annie Wilkes and her deadly obsession with romance novelist, Paul Sheldon. Kathy Bates earned an Oscar for her performance as Wilkes in Rob Reiner's 1990 feature adaptation of the story, but now Emmy-nominee Lizzy Caplan gets a shot at the role. Joining Caplan to lead the Season 2 cast of Castle Rock …
