On Friday, we heard that Stephen King’s Under the Dome had been optioned by DreamWorks TV as an “event series.” I think the new novel is extremely well-suited to a miniseries format and can’t wait to see how it turns out (if you haven’t seen my review of Under the Dome, it’s here).
Mitchell
Of course, this news can only mean one thing—coming up with casting ideas! I could see Elizabeth Mitchell of “Lost” doing a good job as Julia.
Murphy in 'Batman Begins'
Actor Cillian Murphy has a talent for being creepy without becoming a caricature (Red Eye, anyone?), so he’d be a great Junior. But at 33, is he too old for the role?
As for Big Jim and Barbie—I’m stumped! And what about the endearing Joe McClatchy and his teen cohorts? Other Under the Dome readers, share your ideas in the comments.

I don’t know!! I am starting the book tomorrow and plan to read it over the holiday break. It’s sitting patiently on my shelf waiting for me. I can’t wait to dig in.

Oh, I can’t wait to hear what you think of it. I passed my copy on to my mom and she couldn’t put it down, so you are wise to wait for a holiday weekend!

Chris Evans or Seann William Scott would be great in the role of Dale “Barbie” Barbara!!!! I hope one of them gets the job.
