I just finished Stephen King's behemoth of a novel, Under the Dome, about half an hour ago. While it was an emotionally taxing novel, I must say that it's one of my favorite books, and somehow manages to convey an epic story within the confines of a small Maine town; it's The Stand trapped under a microscope. And now, it's going to be on the screen.

Stephen King, in one of his few book signings for the novel (or any of his novels), stopped by a Walmart in Dundalk, Maryland, and answered a few questions from the audience. Among questions about what scared him and what he was going to do next, an audience member asked King if Under the Dome would be turned into a movie.

"Uh, I think this is actually going to be an HBO series, Under the Dome," King replied, prompting the audience to cheer. »
