Super Bowl TV Spot: ‘Under The Dome’

COMMENTS (14)

• oh wow I just saw the super bowl commercial, and now im so excited for the series, because right now I’m in the middle of reading the book. The book is so awesome, everybody should definitely read it. It costs about $20 and is like over 1000 pages, that’s about twice as thick as a bible.

• Wasn’t this idea behind “The Simpsons” movie?

• Let’s all cross our fingers it’s as good as the made for TV mini-series of “The Stand” and “The Shining.”

  • Neither of those were very good…

    I hope you’re wrong, Bobby.

    • sarcasm in print is a tricky mistress, I guess… I agree, and then some. the made for TV the shining and the Stand the stand are horrible. the books are fantastic, the TV miniseries are embarrassing.

      the sure-tell sign a Stephen King movie is bad is that it has his approval, involvement, and his name on it.

      he’s a great novelist. his taste in movies based on his own work is 100% terrible.

• It’s Terra Nova 2.0. The next Spielburg show that appear 2 years after its first commercial and won’t be cast until final day of shooting.

  • considering a premiere date of June 24th has been set and all the roles are either cast or offered out already, I’d say that’s a negative.

• spielberg = pasteurized, homogenized and sugar coated.

• Here was the pitch:

  “It’s The Simpson’s Movie meets The Truman Show, but it’ll have Stephen King’s name on the title to make it creeeeepy.”

• O.K. everyone that is saying that this is the Simpson’s Movie, it’s not he wrote most of this book in the 70′s or 80′s and updated and finished it in 2008-2009 from two of his previously unfinished works.

• Possibly the worst teaser I have ever seen. Aside from branding it with Stephen King’s name, it’s terrible, and does nothing to capture the attention of audience members who haven’t read the book. Plus the graphics look like Saturday morning cartoon fare. I would be instantly turned off by this. It’s about what I would expect from the people involved.

• Does it get shaken and turn into a giant snow-globe?

• King has never let me down. He is not writing college texts, just good scary novels. Give him a break.
