Frank Darabont's adaptation, starring Thomas Jane, Marcia Gay Harden and Laurie Holden, is set to play November 19th at the Egyptian Theatre (6712 Hollywood Boulevard) on Monday, November 19th. A cast and crew Q&A will follow (the lineup will be announced soon). For more ticket info and information visit EgyptianTheatre.com.
The October 27th podcast has some quick interviews with Stephen King, Frank Darabont, and Marcia-Gay Hayden.
Not a lot of info but fans should be interested.
They ran back to back and start eerily enough at the 14:08 mark!
Read your interview with Darabont in Rue Morgue, Bev. Great job with some excellent questions. Congrats.
...not only is THE MIST intelligent, thoughtful and empathetic toward its characters, it is proudly and unashamedly a horror movie through and through. Darabont has scored his third successful King adaptation in a row, and there’s nothing hazy about his intention this time to scare the hell out of all of us.
I should probably mention "down here" that my interview with Darabont is in the current issue of Rue Morgue magazine, too.
That's a VERY interesting article! It shows a view that I had never considered.

Andre Braugher, who co-stars in the upcoming horror film The Mist, told SCI FI Wire that his character is a stand-in of sorts for the audience during the tale's key debate.
Like the Stephen King novella on which it's based, the movie centers on a group of people who find themselves trapped in a small-town supermarket as a mysterious mist rolls in, bringing with it lethal and horrific creatures.
Braugher's character, Brent Norton, refuses to believe there's anything otherworldly in the mist.
"I kind of grounded it, but the audience knows more than I do," Braugher said in an interview. "The audience is in the loading dock [where the creatures first reveal themselves], so the audience knows that they're real. And so the gag's on me."
Braugher said that he did not stop—not even momentarily—to think about how his character would react were he to believe what was going on around him.
"I never thought about it, because it's absurd to suggest that something on a loading dock has snatched Norm the bag boy," the actor said. "It's absurd. It just is. It's just impossible for something with tentacles to have snatched Norm the bag boy. So I don't prepare for alien invasions, and I don't prepare for tentacles in the loading dock. So my character never actually thought about how he was going to fight this thing, you know? I don't know what it is." The Mist opens Nov. 21. —Ian Spelling
