[FWDLK] Christine-Related Trivia



Who would've thought that watching Home Alone from 1990 would've led to me finding info about Christine...
 
The link:  the scary-looking neighbor in Home Alone was played by Roberts Blossom, who played George LeBay in the Christine movie.
 
As I continued reviewing the cast info from Christine, I was interested to see that Robert Prosky, who played Will Darnell, died earlier this month (apparently my head was in the sand to have missed that announcement; of course he was better known for more memorable roles, such as one of the the Sgts. in  Hill St. Blues).  Then there's the dude who played Arnie's dad (Robert Darnell)...he died in 1991.  I was surprised to see Kelly Preston, who played Dennis's g/f, has been active in recent years, including Sky High.
 
The most interesting thing I found is that Stephen King has a new novel to be released in 2009:  "From a Buick 8."  And golly, gee, that story takes place in PA and involves an old relic car with some dark secrets.  Sound familiar?  I haven't read an SK novel in many years, but I may actually try to read the Buick novel.
 
Apparently SK has another car-based novel also to be released in 2009:  "Dolan's Cadillac."
 
Both of SK's new works already have screenplays in progress, with Dolan's Cadillac already listed with a cast of actors.
