King's Dragon will open his eyes to Hulu
It's good to be Stephen King - and the fingers of two hands, perhaps, will not be enough to count the works of the King of Horrors, which will either soon go to the screens or have successfully reached the audience over the past couple of years. Now this list will be replenished with one more item: the streaming service Hulu has bypassed Apple in the fight for the rights to adapt the book "The Eyes of the Dragon.The action of the work, in which King departed from his usual horror genre and preferred fabulous motives to him, takes place in the kingdom of Delane. Peter and Thomas are the children of King Roland, and the first to ascend the throne after his father. However, the court wizard Flagg has very different plans. As a result, Peter is accused of a murder that he did not commit, and imprisoned in a high tower, and the weak-willed Thomas becomes the ruler, turned into a puppet in the hands of an insidious black magician ... The pilot will be scripted by Seth Graham-Smith (President Lincoln: The Vampire Hunter, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies). He will also act as showrunner and executive producer of the series. Some journalists have already dubbed the future show a successor to Game of Thrones, only without the "adult" content.  “I am delighted to dive into the world of Stephen King with Hulu, which has extensive experience in adapting the writer's works. Our goal is to make the series, based on the beautiful source and the only true fantasy of King with kings, swords and princesses, to be different from other film adaptations, ”said Seth Graham-Smith. In the early 2000s, Eyes of the Dragon was supposed to be an animation film, and in 2012, the Syfy channel's management planned to shoot a mini-series or a television film based on a fantasy tale, but both projects were never realized.
