47 of 47 · most liked firstWhat has this guy not written about? - Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King (1999) Review. Lots of emotion with this one. Right off the bat, I love Stephen King and IT is my fav book of all time. I prefer his stories to go as batshit crazy as they can and this has been delivered with books like IT and Misery and Pet Sematary but then there are his other works, like 11/22/63 and Hearts in Atlantis which seem to be much more grounded and calm because their main focus is just normal people. So can…

neutral · AI labelView post →The Life of Chuck is going to be amazing!! I also would love to see the short story Hearts in Atlantis (not the Low Men in Yellowcoats that became the film w/ Anthony Hopkins) onscreen. It's still one of my favorites
positive · AI labelView post →Anton Yelchin is such a fucking STAR in HEARTS IN ATLANTIS, his very first film. That’s never gonna not be sad. #filmsky
positive · AI labelView post →My year of Book Covers Stephen King's Hearts in Atlantis Ted Brautigan's story. Much like Father Callahan's story. All things serve the Beam. *The movie should've been called Low Men in Yellow Coats, being that it's the title of the story adapted.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh boy, you are in for a RIDE. How far into it are you? Beyond the 8 books of the Dark Tower proper, there are a BUNCH of books that touch that part of the King Universe. Eyes of the Dragon, It, Insomnia, Desperation and the Regulators, Rose Madder, Hearts in Atlantis, The Talisman (indirectly), Black House (Talisman sequel, directly connects it together), The Stand, The Shining, Salem's Lot. Fairy Tale is similar enough, but not directly related. There's a 3rd Talisman book coming this year…
neutral · AI labelView post →I haven’t read this for years and it’s well past time to watch the movie again, but Hearts in Atlantis. IIRC there are no real dark elements except for men in black being vaguely spooky.
neutral · AI labelView post →ANTON YELCHIN #BOTD March 11, 1989 Actor Anton Yelchin remembered for his film roles, Hearts in Atlantis (2001), Fright Night (2011) & 4 #StarTrek movies (2009-'16). Passed in 2016 (age 27) from blunt traumatic asphyxia, when his car rolled backward onto him. #FilmSky
neutral · AI labelView post →I feel like the main reason that THINNER is dismissed as minor King has to do with the quality of the movie, not the quality of the book. Same goes for NEEDFUL THINGS and HEARTS IN ATLANTIS. Both are easily two of Stephen King's better novels, but they get overlooked because the films were "eh".
neutral · AI labelView post →Keep on the lookout for the 3rd Talisman book this year as well. Talisman did not directly tie in, but the sequel, Black House, puts a Dark Tower shaped pin in the plotlines running from Insomnia and Hearts in Atlantis.
neutral · AI labelView post →If the movie is IT-level quality I’m happy, if it’s Hearts In Atlantis-level, I’m disgusted
negative · AI labelView post →If you've seen the movie Hearts in Atlantis, it's Anthony Hopkins's house in that movie (the blue one with the big front porch). I need to sell a lot more books so I can afford homes that match my taste -- not mansions, but old and well-maintained.

neutral · AI labelView post →I see that it's just a straight line through 1-7. I had thought some other books would factor in majorly, like I read Hearts in Atlantis and one of the stories in it had a lot of connections to DT. I'll look them up in Libby, thanks I haven't read many stories with dogs. John Steinbeck had a dog be shot in *Of Mice and Men* and that was pretty sad
neutral · AI labelView post →Film #342: Hearts in Atlantis It's okay. It's mainly 60's nostalgia schmaltz with Anthony Hopkins doing the barest "Mystical old man" role. It never feels like the film has any stakes outside of, "Your youth will one day be behind you." #2026Films
neutral · AI labelView post →Yes, you do! Did you relish every page of Night Shift? One of the best collections of stories! I'm almost done the Hearts In Atlantis book & I'm going to watch the Anthony Hopkins movie based on one of those stories, next. Remember to try the Library if you can't find much at the 2nd hand store.
neutral · AI labelView post →There is discussion about replacing Ted in the Dark Tower with Dick as the facilitator and Abra being the powerful telepath, Ted is owned by whichever movie house made Hearts in Atlantis apparently, but I love Dick so much I don't mind
neutral · AI labelView post →I am immune to that movie, so thanks for being sentimental on my behalf. Meanwhile, I bawled the other day while watching “Hearts In Atlantis”.
positive · AI labelView post →I had heard 11 22 63 was good, but I didn't expect it to be as emotional as it was. And Hearts in Atlantis really came out of nowhere, as the film adaptation looked pretty bad. And I can definitely see that about Vietnam.
positive · AI labelView post →Yes, Hearts in Atlantis is really good. Apparently the film is a total mistake, adapting a different story from the same collection. I've read a couple of Koontz novels and they seem primarily to be wank
positive · AI labelView post →The movie, Hearts in Atlantis was also based on Stephen King’s writing, and was beautiful. I haven’t seen the movie currently being discussed yet, but I saw that many years ago and was stunned by its beauty and that it had been written by Stephen.
positive · AI labelView post →Movie - Enter the Dragon. TV - Thunderbirds Book - Hearts in Atlantis
neutral · AI labelView post →At his best, he can absolutely ruin you with how good his writing is. I read Hearts In Atlantis as we were invading Iraq, and the story (oddly not the one the film with that title was based on) set me on fire & burned me down. Forever informed how I look at peace & war, death & guilt & privilege.
positive · AI labelView post →Yes! Especially in Hearts in Atlantis. One of my favorite book to movie adaptations . I felt like he should have been Nick in Nick and Norah.
positive · AI labelView post →I gotta rant about what a weird adaptation Hearts In Atlantis (2001) was. Based on the book by Stephen King, which was an anthology tied together by core characters. The movie only covers one story , plus a sliver of epilogue. It did a great job of those parts but without having read this book &
neutral · AI labelView post →I am waiting for someone to film the actual "Hearts In Atlantis" from that book, because the movie is actually adapted from "Low Men in Yellow Coats", the opening story in *that* book.

I’m so excited
neutral · AI labelView post →Hearts In Atlantis. I’ve watched more movie adaptations of his books than read them.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm just sad that the middle earth movies didn't include Tom Bombadil. Yeah, it would have severely interrupted the movie flow but that's kinda Tom's whole deal. The Hearts in Atlantis movie is wholly different from the book and I really can't get myself to enjoy the movie even when trying not to compare because the underpinning plot drivers were removed. It would be like doing King's Insomnia as a movie and not including the little doctors. It's complicated and a difficult tightrope to…
negative · AI labelView post →Also recommend Hearts in Atlantis, a mystifyingly overlooked movie that comes closer than most to capturing the tone and atmosphere of Stephen King's books. Screenplay by William Goldman (see also Misery).
positive · AI labelView post →@stephenking.bsky.social One of my "now" favorite all time movies is "Hearts of Atlantis" loosely adapted from Stephen King's Dark Tower tie-in "Low Men in Yellow Coats," a novella in a 1999 collection Hearts in Atlantis from which the film was named. I had no idea he was so versatile as this.
positive · AI labelView post →Definitely Stephen King's Hearts in Atlantis. The movie was less than half the book, but the book was really two books plus a short story, so...

neutral · AI labelView post →Remember that Stphen King movie "Hearts in Atlantis" remember how they used the lost dog posters to hunt the people they were looking for. That Ring commercial reminded me of that movie. It had a very creepy dystopian vibe.
neutral · AI labelView post →After that, I lived in Virginia Beach, VA, from summer 1982 to fall 1984. Less has been filmed in Virginia Beach (mainly TV), though apparently one film partly shot there was HEARTS IN ATLANTIS.
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh yeah the bit was watching an hour of Stephen King movie trailers. From Carrie all the way to Hearts in Atlantis we watched every trailer for every movie released before Dreamcatcher. It was actually hella fun to see them all back to back and how movies changed and trailers changed over time.

neutral · AI labelView post →By the time I graduated high school, I'd read through King's entire(at the time) fictional bibliography*, so while I was already sold, I'm even more "sold-er" now. LOL *I'm dating myself by saying the current book at the time was 1999's Hearts In Atlantis(great story, movie was bleh).
negative · AI labelView post →Time for a movie....Hearts in Atlantis....Based on a Stephen King novel...stars Anthony Hopkins and the late actor. Anton Yelchin, which was his debut film, the music soundtrack is amazing too, anywho, got some red wine and some munchies....time to chill from chillin'...lol😂
positive · AI labelView post →The first time I saw The Green Mile in the theater I cried from the moment John Coffey appeared on-screen pretty much through the rest of THREE HOUR film. I don't know that this'll be that bad, but we might reach Hearts In Atlantis levels.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just watched the film "Hearts in Atlantis" and loved it so much I plan to watch it again. Thank you for writing such a wonderful and interesting story. Never predictable, always worthwhile waiting to see what comes next. You continue to surprise me in the best way.
positive · AI labelView post →There are a few extremely tedious ones in there… but there’s also some great ones that I still think about! I loved “Project Hail Mary,” “Hearts in Atlantis,” and “Horror Movie” the most. I might need to reread PHM, that was the one I read the fastest because I couldn’t put it down.
neutral · AI labelView post →The 'Hearts in Atlantis' movie poster but it says Hearts of Romaine and Anthony Hopkins is holding a bottle of Hidden Valley Ranch
neutral · AI labelView post →Tired: @ replies remembering movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit Wired: me in your @ replies remembering novel Hearts in Atlantis
neutral · AI labelView post →Hearts in Atlantis (2001) Adaption: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Movie:⭐️⭐️⭐️ Necessity has them jettisoning the Dark Tower stuff of the story and what’s left is a bland, colorless adaptation. Sure the main plot points are there & it’s nicely shot but it’s missing the quirkyness as well as the heart.
negative · AI labelView post →This is certainly a case of less is more from Sir Anthony Hopkins. His considered performance as "Ted" lends much to this otherwise rather simple story of a widow (Hope Davis) and her young son "Bobby" (Anton Yeltsin). He befriends the young boy - much to the suspicion of the rather selfish, but loving, mother - and soon they are sharing confidences and the odd secret power as their bond gradually cements. It looks at the story from the older man's perspective as he reminisces about his own…
