Stephen King has a new book out called "CELL" The story is about a strange pulse that comes through when you answer the call,that then turns you into murderer or makes you commit a terrorist act ect...


“What happens on the afternoon of October 1 came to be known
as the Pulse, a signal sent through every operating cell phone
that turns its user into something...well, something less than human”



To promote the book the publishers have launched an elaborate Web and mobile phone based marketing campaign which includes ringtones of King's voice and you can download (buy) Talktones and Wallpapers from the book....check the site for lots of info and audio clip of Kings voice from the book. www.cellthebook.com

Sometimes the movies are never as good as the books but i know what you mean...

I remember that other film about mobiles aswell called CELLULAR which was'nt very good.But this being a Stephen King book i have high hopes for this as im a big fan of his stuff. [addsig]

Well it looks like the Cell will be made into a big budget movie,it was kind of enevitable really since most of stephen Kings novels have taken the Movie or TV route.

According to Variety

Dimension Films has acquired rights to Stephen King's latest novel \"Cell\" and has set \"Hostel\" helmer Eli Roth to direct it. [addsig]
