"I didn’t know anything about the remake until I read about it on the Internet," King told Entertainment Weekly, quickly adding of the potential film's scope, "Historically speaking, movie studios blow the budget on things like this, so maybe it’ll be fun to look at. The dough certainly isn’t going to me, although if it is a trilogy, and if it makes a lot of money, I might be able to buy a chicken dinner at Popeye’s. Great slaw!"
