According to an article at Variety.com, Steven Spielberg will be teaming up with Stephen King to bring his newest novel, Under the Dome, to the small screen. It seems that DreamWorks TV has optioned the property and will be distributing it somewhere on cable.  Unsure if this will be a maxi or mini-series but I am thinking HBO will pick it up.

The book looks good and I am planning on picking it up this weekend. Here is the blurb from the publisher:
On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester’s Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener’s hand is severed as “the dome” comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when — or if — it will go away.
