According to trivia, King could pull the plug on any adaptation of his at any time. He approved Rob Reiners choice to direct the film and casting decisions that Reiner & the casting directors made before shooting. Production on the film occurred during the summer of 1985 and post-production took less than a year to complete. Before submitting the final cut to the studio that would help subsequently him with distribution (Sony/Columbia), he showed the first cut to Stephen King at a private screening.
