The Mist has been at the top of the most-desired Stephen King adaptations for a long time now. I know people who have no time for King at all, with The Mist being the sole exception.

Until now. According to The Mist star Thomas Jane in a talk with Fangoria.

“If you’ve read the novella, you understand the potential of the film, and Darabont has surpassed that. The script is missing the last 10 pages because he won’t divulge them to anybody—he’s changing the ending.”

The ending to The Mist is one of the reasons why it has such a devoted following. Darabont is taking a big risk changing possibly the most crucial aspect of the entire story. Here’s hoping he can pull it off.
