There had been talk of a movie version in 1984. James Mason agreed to play Kurt, but died from a heart attack before filming could begin. Richard Burton was considered as his replacement, but he died from a cerebral hemorrhage before he could accept the part. The first attempt to film this story in 1987 ran over budget and was stopped after six weeks of shooting, while only ten days of filming remained. According to Stephen King, who saw a rough cut of three-quarters of the movie, "it was really good". It starred Ricky Schroder as Todd Bowden and Nicol Williamson as Kurt Dussander, and was directed by Alan Bridges.
