King's Technophobia

According to the recognition of the famous filmmakers of Hollywood, the protracted production played an evil joke with the film. Almost immediately after the presentation of the novel, he was going to film Eli Roth, but soon after the creative disagreements the director left the project. After manufacture and at all have frozen. So, the creators missed the point when the global spread of cellular communication was perceived as an excuse for fear. Perhaps the authors should have moved the action to the social plane. Networks Instagram or Facebook, although, as shown by the latest horror, this is not a panacea.
