Everyone love a remake! Stephen King has been busy lately, adapting Lars Von Trier's classic horror film/mini-series The Kingdom for American audiences. Initially filmed as a 15 hour mini-series(to be aired on ABC), I wouldn't be surprised(or terribly thrilled) if this ends up as a regular addition to ABC's weekly lineup. No word as to whether he'll be following the storyline of Lars' original(including the sequel, and a third that went unfilmed due to the death of Ernst-Hugo Järegård, a key actor in the original series), or simply using it a launching pad for his own ideas.

The new series will be helmed by director Craig R. Baxley, whose blockbuster resume includes such hits as Action Jackson and a crapload of made-for-TV movies.
