Hollywood has trouble making a normal Steven King book into a movie. I'm not sure why people think an epic of this scale would be worth watching. Look at the state of the new IT movie. A cluster fuck already. If you gave it an HBO GoT treatment or put it on Netflix, maybe. But a series of movies will be a shitfest.

Maybe something like the Marvel universe, since King has spent so much time working his other books into this one.

Good points. Maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part. I wouldnt necessarily want the GOT treatment. HBO has to have the sexier content which sometimes detracts from the story. Netflix sounds promising. For now the comics are a pretty good alternative.

Well I don't want HBO to try to sexy them up. I just meant the longer term series with good writing,direction and acting.
While I'd love to be able to sit and watch a well made version(to share w people who wont read it) I just don't have any confidence a series of movies will be well done. So I'd rather they not do it and give people a bad impression of the books.
