Who is the best in their field? horror/thriller When we talk about writing? Stephen King. Who is the person who has seen almost all of his works turned into series and films, but has not written his own screenplay for over 25 years? Stephen King.
Who is the author of the new Apple TV series and claims it to be his favorite work among all he has written? Stephen King.
As you can see, all questions lead to the same answer, which is followed by a few more details that reinforce our motivation to eagerly await the Lisey's Story.
This is a rare example of his work. King, as we often encounter the erotic element, romanticism, even in this version, which reaches the level of a psychological thriller and is perhaps one of his most realistic works.
This is because Lisey's Story interprets the processes that take place in a woman's mind during spiritual denial. Lizzie Landon has just lost her husband and is mourning him, grieving because she misses him. However, this pain is the catalyst for gradually unlocking memories that her mind had blocked or buried somewhere deep in her unconscious.
These memories create a completely different image of her husband, an image that instills fear and essentially erases an entire life, decades of emotions.
And all this happens in a pursuit of things that were revealed to her, which she had forgotten, but now the past is forcefully coming back to the present. «Was it real or a figment of my imagination?» Lizzie wonders, surrounded by all the darkness she kept inside her.
Lisey's Story premieres with the first two episodes on June 4, while the season consists of eight episodes in total, with the Apple TV building a strong tradition in mini-series, bringing us, a year after Defending Jacob, a promising series.
Not only because of King, but because it is directed by Pablo Larraín (Jackie, Ema, No, El Club, Neruda) and the cast includes Julianne Moore, Clive Owen, Ron Ciffas-Jones, and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
