To make a film of this would be a travesty in my opinion, there are a lot of side stories that need to be covered to complete the picture as a whole and to try and condense it into a 90-120min film would take away from the true essence of what King was conveying in the book.
A bit more info on the film

I enjoy King's books and seldom do the film's & TV adaptations come close to getting across Kings own thoughts and images that are so clearly seen in his writings.
Unabridged audio books of his works are very good too
