This isn't really movie news, but once in a while we get our hands on "trailers" for new novels. We've already seen one for Guillermo Del Toro's "The Strain" and today we have one for Stephen King's 1088-page tome called "Under the Dome," which will appear in stores on November 10th. Check it out below.
Synopsis: On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when--or if--it will go away.
Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens--town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician's assistant at the hospital, a select-woman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing--even murder--to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn't just short. It's running out.

Stephen King is a nutjob, go to your cave and die already. Reading the IT scarred me for life, all those kids fucking the one girl to make it out alive, or the bully homo jerking off the other bullys. What kind of sick bastard thinks that stuff up?

Yeah IT was odd in that it had cool bits sprinkled with disturbing ideas. I think King went a bit too far into bad taste but then again people are sicker than anything he could write.

He did not get this idea from the simpsons movie, he has been working on this book for almost 30 years. If anything simpsons go the idea from him.
The Simpsons only stole it from a hundred sci-fi comics. It's going to be okay. I've learned to trust in anything that says "Stephen King" on the spine.
