>mfw they are filming the TV adaption of The Mist in my city
I never understood why everyone loves this ending. It's just the exact opposite of a Deus Ex Machina, and exactly as lazy.
All things considered, his situation isn't that bad, he gets to start a whole new life in the post-mist world and the government will probably be looking for people with experience in fighting off the mist creatures.
>>71568517
Diablous ex Machina
>>71568517
Because its fucking unique, we never seen anything like that happen in recent movies at the time it came out, it was so cool for it not to be some cliche shit where someone saves them or they all die and its shitty depressing ending
>>71568356
The frustration by the end of this scene was ridiculous
>>71568389
I bet its either ABC, CBS, FOX, or NBC. Am I right?
>>71568631
I think it's through Spike TV.
>>71568671
At least it's not SyFy.
>>71568697
truth
What is it, The Mist?

>>71568813
is this from The Mist?
please respond
>>71568517
It's fucking brilliant from a screenwriter's perspective. Instead of a typical happy Hollywood ending, dude fucking kills them to hopefully put them out of misery, then discovers if he let them live just a bit longer they'd all have made it. It brings strong emotions out of the viewer.
>>71568389
>mfw that was my idea and they literally announced it after I complained about corpses being repetitive in TWD and how The Mist would make a better series because of all the spoopy monsters
Who'd have thought shills could be a good thing?
>>71568533
Wouldn't he go to jail since they'd find out he killed them?
>>71568884
SOMEBODY
>>71568977
Considering it's post apocalyptic I doubt they'd care
>>71568389
>>71568969
Wait it's gonna be a TWD style show? I'm extremely intrigued if they can actually keep it going for 2-3 seasons.
>>71568356
Why isn't Thomas Jane in more movies?
>>71568999
>ONCE
>>71569040
He's doing The Expanse at the moment, it's a great show
So, there's no way he didn't fucking kill himself after the movie, right?
>>71569040
I think it's because he's too "plain white guy," and by the time The Mist came around Patrick Wilson was starting to fill that role.
>>71569027
There's a lot more shit you could do with portals and an entire ecosystem of alien monsters.
Imagine if the survivors managed to somehow find themselves on the other side of the portal - it'd be hellish.
With the right actors it could go on longer than Walking Dead.
>>71569017
>post apocalyptic
It's not.
That was the twist.
There was an outbreak but it was contained and dealt with.
It was no more an apocalypse than Katrina was
>>71569227
More than that. They can go full Stephen King multiverse.
The Mist fits into his cosmology.
The monsters came in through a thinnie.
A weakspot in the universe.
Instead of just doing a monster world, they could end up somewhere else.
Like Midworld.
the boy was really problem like that old lady said so once he killed him the fog went away
So, what's the difference between this and The Fog?
>>71569040
Just found out he's in another Stephen King adaptation today - Dreamcatcher.
He seems like a really cool dude, very likeable, I think he's really picky though.
>>71569303
Isn't The Fog a horror movie about a small town and some girl who died?
>>71569227
I'm just tired of zombie media myself, monster TWD style show sounds like great fun.
>>71569304
Dreamcatcher was a great movie.
Up until it wasn't.
Book's good tho
>>71569217
But he's damn good.
His acting after he shoots his son is painfully believable.
What was the book's ending?
>>71569303
The Fog is about ghost pirates who can only manifest when the fog rolls in
>>71569369
I think he keeps driving on through the mist or something, with hope that things will get right.
>>71569217
I was thinking of Patrick Wilson when I typed out that question
hue
>>71569369
A lot lamer.
They're in a hotel room and he's writing down the story.
He ends it saying something like "I hope there will still be people to read what has happened to us. We'll keep moving on and try to look for other survivors"
>>71569333
The fuck is it with Stephen Kings and the movie adaptations of his books? I mean I read about how that awful made for tv adaptation of the shining is what he considered the better one, and now all that news about the Dark Tower movie and him trying to get those progressive brownie points?
I mean the man can(usually) write a fine book, but Jesus he needs to keep his mouth shut about the adaptations of them, he obviously doesn't seem to know quality when it bites his ass.
Someone post the spiders webm
Fun fact: The Mist short story is the inspiration for Half-Life 1.
>>71569367
He is good yeah, I like him a lot. The more I think about it though Patrick Wilson seems to have filled the shoes Thomas Jane would have if PW didn't do Watchmen and those other films in 2008/09.
>>71569476
I think he has a lot less control than what you imply.
He pretty much always supports his adaptations because it helps the brand.
Except for the Shining of course, but that doesn't matter because Kubric
>>71569289
I dunno, do you think that could work in a gritty TWD type show?
>>71569526
Sure.
Instead of fighting monsters, now they're in a post-apocalyptic wild west setting. Fighting mutants and demons instead
They can just keep going between worlds whenever things get boring .
>>71569523
Oh yeah, I'm not trying to imply he has much control, just his support on certain topics seems to off. I mean I guess money is money, even if your already going to go down as a part of literary history, just kinda disappointing.
>jane returns in the tv show as the monster punisher
>>71568977
>Wouldn't he go to jail
Yeah you're a fucking idiot, mate. No jury in the world would convict a person who did what he could to save people from the gruesome fates he thought were awaiting them.
Jesus Christ, get your fucking head out of your arse and quit being stupid all of your life.
>>71569490
Well, I like Wilson too so whatever
>>71569212
probably, he is the kind of guy who drinks himself to death.
That one guy who sits in the corner of a bar and always looks at his pint while having the "i have seen shit" look in his eyes.
>>71568813
Thanks for that picture, that's another one to add to my Closeups folder!
>>71569634
I worded it that way to get replies.
Good job, dumbass.
>>71569689
Don't thank me. Thank the Earth's gravitational pull!
