We're Closer To Being Under The Dome On Our TVs

Variety has reported that Spielberg and writer Michael Green are working on adapting Stephen King's Under the Dome in order for DreamWorks to shop it for TV and/or cable.

I've felt that King's work has been hit or miss for a while now. I used to devour everything he wrote, but these days I'm so so on it. I'm currently reading Full Dark, No Stars
and it's pretty good so far. However, I must admit that I haven't read Under the Dome: A Novel. If this project moves forward, I'll read it before I watch it.

Book Synopsis:

Just down Route 119 in Chester’s Mill, Maine, all hell is about to break loose...

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day, a small town is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and rain down flaming wreckage. A gardener’s hand is severed as the dome descends. Cars explode on impact. Families are separated, and panic mounts. No one can fathom what the barrier is, where it came from, and when — or if — it will go away. Now a few intrepid citizens, led by an Iraq vet turned short-order cook, face down a ruthless politician dead set on seizing the reins of power under the dome. But their main adversary is the dome itself. Because time isn’t just running short. It’s running out.
