Tien jaar geleden verscheen de zeer vermakelijke horror film The Mist, die gebaseerd was op het gelijknamige boek van Stephen King. Deze verteld het verhaal van een dikke mist waar in rare wezens zitten die via een interdimensionaal portaal in onze wereld zijn gekomen, en dit alles door een mislukt experiment van het leger. Deze film had twee verschillende eindes waar van de Directors Cut ongelovelijk hard en cynisch was. Afgelopen nacht is deze serie begonnen in Amerika en daarom had de website Collider een interview met Christian Torpe en daar van kan je hier onder een stukje lezen.

Collider: How did this come about for you? Was the idea of turning this into a TV series brought to you?

CHRISTIAN TORPE: I was approached by the Weinsteins. We had a general meeting. They read a pilot that I wrote, that they liked. I think Bob had seen the show that I do back in Denmark and really liked what I was doing there, and then they asked me if I had any interest in adapting Stephen King. I was like, "I love Stephen King!" I've been a huge fan since I was way too young to be a Stephen King fan. So, I read the novella and my first thought was, "Well, it's a relatively short story." It's 180 pages. I didn't know if there was a show in it, but it's a story about being blinded by fear, and I felt that was so incredibly timely, unfortunately, that I wanted to take on the challenge.
