ABOUT THE BOOK:
Stephen King and Peter Straub wrote a novel in 1984 called The Talisman which had a little different style than their normal writings. It was more in the style of J. R. R. Tolkien, who is the author of The Lord Of The Rings series. The book has an established fantasy world and a character named Jack Sawyer, who wants to save his mother but he has to acquire an artifact and that’s why he explores America as well as struggling with himself.
ABOUT THE ADAPTATION:
The rights of the book were brought by Steven Speilberg even before they even wrote the book. And now he wants to adapt the book. The idea is already proposed to Netflix and he wants to hire the Duffer Brothers and his team, who made the stranger things possible. There is no news related to the release date or even anything about the screenwriters.
