Stephen King adapts his own book in 'Lisey's Story,' with disappointing results
CNN
Stephen King's usual policy of selling the rights to his books and washing his hands of the results goes out the window in "Lisey's Story," which the prolific author adapted himself. But the Apple TV+ limited series lands in the shallow end of the King cinematic pool, with a convoluted story that mostly squanders its big-name cast.
The Lisey of the title is played by Julianne Moore, who watched her husband Scott Landon (Clive Owen), a famous novelist, be murdered right in front of her. But Lisey's reluctance to part with his unpublished works irks an academic ("This is Us'" Ron Cephas Jones) who yearns to get his hands on them, and leads to unleashing a crazed fan (Dane DeHaan) to pursue the manuscripts. Still, that only scratches the surface of the dense and time-hopping narrative, since Scott keeps appearing to Lisey, dispensing vague advice and cryptic clues about what she'll need to deal with the threats she faces, exchanges that unfold heavily garnished by surreal and supernatural imagery.
