Stephen King Endorses Lars Von Trier as the Most Talented Director and Weighs in on Other Recent Developments

Renowned author Stephen King has once again made headlines with his insightful opinions on the world of filmmaking and literature. In a recent endorsement, King has praised Danish director Lars Von Trier as the “most talented, amazing director in the world”.

King’s admiration for Von Trier stems from the director’s work on films like *Melancholia*, which King finds particularly compelling due to its exploration of themes such as depression and existential dread. King has expressed his desire to see Von Trier adapt one of his stories, highlighting the director’s ability to handle complex and provocative themes, a hallmark of King’s own writing.

In addition to his praise for Von Trier, King has been active in promoting various horror films and TV shows. He has recently endorsed several horror titles, including *Late Night With The Devil*, which he described as “absolutely brilliant” and urged his followers to watch.

On the streaming front, one of King’s highly acclaimed TV adaptations, the 2016 miniseries *11-22-63*, has recently moved from Hulu to Tubi. This time-travel drama, based on King’s novel of the same name, follows Jake Epping as he attempts to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The series has received positive reviews and is considered one of the best TV adaptations of King’s work.

King has also been a subject of discussion regarding his storytelling endings, with some readers criticizing his approach. However, King defends his method, stating that he writes by instinct rather than plotting everything out beforehand. Despite some divisive endings, many of King’s works, such as *Misery* and *The Running Man*, are praised for their satisfying conclusions.

In another interesting development, it has been revealed that King contributed to a Marvel Comics issue in 1985. For the super-sized issue *Heroes for Hope: Starring the X-Men*, King created a villain inspired by his novel *Thinner*. This collaboration showcases King’s versatility and his long-standing interest in comic books).
