Director Rob Savage has given a recent update regarding the movie adaptation of Stephen King’s The Langoliers.Savage revealed that the rights to The Langoliers needed sorting out in an interview with ComicBook. The director was hopeful of a positive resolution: “There’s a bit of naughtiness when it comes to the rights, but I think hopefully we’ll be able to sort it out,” he said. The filmmaker also revealed they had a great idea for adapting Stephen King’s story. “We’ve got such a great idea for developing that one out from the short story. Of all the ones in King’s work that have been adapted, I don’t think it’s ever been done justice to,” he stated. Savage was referencing ABC’s adaptation of The Langoliers, a miniseries that aired in 1995 and was met with a lukewarm reception from critics and audiences.Savage was enthralled with the novella’s theme and looked forward to adapting The Langoliers. “It plays with ideas that I’ve never seen explored in a horror movie. The idea of time, and decaying time, and these creatures that are eating the time left behind — there’s such a great, cosmic horror movie to be made there that lends itself so well to film,” he said. “Film is all about stretching and compressing time, and you can do so many great, playful things in that space that go beyond what’s there in the novella. I’m so excited about that one. I think that one stands a good shot of happening.”RELATED: Forget Stephen King – This Horror Novel Should Get an Adaptation Fast-Tracked
