Take a look at the first footage from this summer's 13-part Stephen King adaptation Under The Dome right here...

We're counting on new thirteen-part adaptation Under the Dome to ease our passage through the bleak summer TV months (well that, and the concluding run of Breaking Bad), and this fairly exciting first look at the show does nothing to change our expectations.

Based on a Stephen King novel, executive produced by Steven Spielberg, adapted by Lost's Brian K. Vaughan, and with a pilot directed by The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo's Niels Arden Oplev, Under the Dome has potential up the wazoo. Take a glimpse at some early footage and a King talking head below:

Holy shit, I had no idea this was actually in production.

Apparently Bryan K. Vaughn is behind this, so that's a good sign. Also, while I never would have thought of Dean Norris as Big Jim Rennie, he's at least a good actor. Hopefully they won't stay too faithful to the book, though.

Seems cool, but I'm still kind of drained from reading the book, honestly.

Also, Stephen King adaptations are usually pretty hit or miss.

Really? How so?

It's true, I think his movies tend to fare better than his mini series, though. Probably because his longer books tend to be a bit unwieldy.
