Now is the Perfect Time for a to Remake Stephen King's Directorial Debut

The Big Picture 2017 was a major year for fans of the author Stephen King. While adaptations of King’s work had been popular for decades, his loyal followers were treated to several highly anticipated projects within the twelve-month period. The Dark Tower may have been a financial and critical disappointment, but the first chapter of the It movies was warmly received and became one of the highest grossing R-rated films of all-time.

1922 TV-MACrime HorrorDrama 1922 is a Netflix original movie starring Thomas Jane, Molly Parker, and Dylan Schmid. The film tells the story of Wilfred James, who plots to murder his wife with the help of his son for financial gain. The film is based on Stephen King's horror novella of the same name.

1922 is a brilliant examination of the deteriorating effects of guilt. While persecution on the law enforcement side eventually does emerge as a threat, the majority of the story rests on Wilf’s inability to live a “normal” life in the aftermath of the murder. It’s never suggested that he felt particular affinity for Arlette to begin with, as their marriage was one of convenience. However, Wilf can’t get over the fact that he will have to live with this secret for the rest of his life.
