"Clearly, Adrian was pleased with his new work," the reporter wrote in the newspaper the day after interviewing Adrian, "Otherwise, he wouldn't claim it to be a nearly perfect film. I remain skeptical, even if Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman both agree with that statement. I've read Stephen King's original novel, which, unlike his horror stories, is a tale of hope and redemption. Given Adrian's previous works, he tends to excel more in fringe themes, so it's hard to say if he can truly handle this story. However, we have reason to look forward to his new movie, since 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels' and 'Memento' both surprised us."
