Stephen King Chooses The Actor To Portray Him In Biopic
Stephen King humorously shares that while he would love to see a handsome actor portray him, he knows it won't happen, reflecting on potential candidates.
We owe many great book adaptations such as Carrie, It, and The Monkey to Stephen King. But when will the author’s own career be explored, and who would be the perfect choice to play King?
This question was recently posed to the writer via The Guardian by a fan, to which King’s first response was that he "would love to see a handsome lead actor, but I don’t think Brad Pitt would want to."
He continued: "He is much better-looking than I am, and I’m a bit old now, so I would say Christopher Lloyd or, who is that man in 'Twin Peaks', the tall man in the lead role? Kyle MacLachlan."
Although there is no biopic of the author currently in the works, his stories continue to attract filmmakers and cinemagoers alike, regularly appearing on the big screen.
The latest Stephen King adaptation, the action thriller The Running Man, directed by Edgar Wright and starring Glenn Powell in the lead role who must fight against a dystopian nightmare, will be screening in cinemas next fall.
