One artist's conception of what Under the Dome might look like, if it were The Simpsons Movie.
The two big Steves in entertainment (other than Gutenberg, of course) are finally teaming up on a project: adapting Stephen King’s recent thriller Under The Dome into a TV miniseries. Yep, DreamworksTV has optioned Dome and is looking to bring it to cable. I think we speak for everyone when we say, “Thank goodness! We can’t wait to watch another watered down version of a King novel we might someday get around to reading if we’re stuck in an airport for over 12 hours.”
The book is about a small Maine town that suddenly finds itself trapped under an invisible dome. Since it’s King, we’re sure 95 percent of the town is alcoholic writers.

Any chance we could do this for real to Wichita, then turn off the oxygen supply?
Eight months winter, four months ugly people, nobody visits and precious few leave. That dome is just a waste of ink and paper.
I heard King told his sister the plot of this book he’d been working on for years and she said, “Oh you mean like The Simpsons Movie?” *points* Ha-ha!
Just tell me what night the Iowa Barnstormers play.
I can’t believe I caved to peer pressure just to get a fucking avatar. This better have worked or someone’s getting a boot to the balls.
The porn spinoff is going to have the exact same name.
