The West Wing and
ER star
Mary McCormack has been added to the cast of the latest (and about the 1000th)
Stephen King movie adaptation
1408. She joins an already strong looking cast of
Samuel L. Jackson and
John Cusack for director
Mikael Hafstrom who directed the little seen movie
Derailed last year. Here is a synopsis of the movie from
Filmstalker... "1408 follows a supernatural writer, played by Cusak, who checks into the notorious room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel. He does so hoping to prove that mysterious goings on there are just a coincidence, but gets more that he bargained for". I don't get to read many books these days but when I do it tends to be King's books I end up reading and they never let me down. However I can't say the same for the film adaptations. For every
Shawshank Redemption and
The Shining, there is a
Dreamcatcher and
Secret Window also. source -
