Stephen King may be “having another moment,” with “The Dark Tower,” “It'” and other works of his returning to the big and small screen. And year after year, the works seem to endure, at least as film fodder.
“The Scapegoat,” “Hungry Hill,” “Frenchman’s Creek,” “September Tide,” “Kiss Me Again, Stranger” - the titles filmed, re-filmed, turned into teleplays, revived - the list goes on and on. Nicholas Roeg turned “Don’t Look Back” - a short story - into a sinister, smart hit in the early ’70s. “My Cousin Rachel” - remade and unleashed just this summer - delivered a dark dash of literary pretense to this summer of Spandex clad super-heroines and heroes.īut long ago, Hitchcock filmed “Rebecca,” “Jamaica Inn” and her short story “The Birds,” and irritated the writer no-end with his meddling with her narratives. Long after her death, decades removed from the days when she was a brand-name novelist, famed for dark, romantic thrillers, Daphne du Maurier remains a Hollywood favorite.
