It looks like a sensation has ripened in Hollywood. The master of horror, writer Stephen King agreed to the proposal of screenwriter and producer Jeffrey Abrams to film his famous work "The Dark Tower".

King and Abrams, creator of Lost, are in talks to film The Dark Tower, the writer's famous seven-volume saga. The negotiations are still at the initial stage: even the format of the future film - television or cinematic - has not been determined.

The media is aware of several attempts to persuade King to film "The Dark Tower", but only Abrams, apparently, managed to convince the writer. While there is no formal confirmation of the agreement yet, the tabloids believe the director's chances are high - King has said on numerous occasions that he is a huge fan of the "Lost" series.

In the summer of 2007, the screen version of Stephen King's novel "1408" was released, which was included in the collection Everything's Eventual, consisting of 14 short stories, back in 2002. It tells of the infamous room at the Dolphin Hotel, where all sorts of terrible things happen. The film stars John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson. The script for "1408" was written by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, who worked on The People vs. Larry Flynt.

It is still unknown which film company will undertake the project. It is known that Jeffrey Abrams, known for such films as Mission: Impossible-3, Armageddon and some others, collaborates with Paramount (feature films) and with Warner Bros. (television projects). It is also not reported whether he will only produce "The Dark Tower" or take the director's chair.

Recently, King, Abrams and Lost executive producer Damon Lindelof participated in a roundtable organized by Entertainment Weekly. During the discussion, "Tower" was mentioned several times, from which the tabloids concluded that the collaboration of the writer with the filmmakers is more than possible.
