First, Spielberg was distracted by the shooting of the film “Empire of the sun”, which was released in 1987. In the early ‘ 90s screenwriter Richard Lagravenese was hired to write the script of “the Mascot”, in 2000, Mick Garris attempted to turn the story into a four-hour mini-series for ABC, but all to no avail. Then it was decided to revisit the idea of a feature film, a new script was written by Ehren Kruger, and then it was edited by Carlo Bernard and Doug Miro, while in the Director’s chair methyl Vadim Perelman. Another candidate for the post of Director was listed by Edward Zwick. In the mid-2000s, are already on TNT could get a six-hour mini-series, but again did not grow together…

For nearly ten years, how about the film adaptation of this novel was not heard, although it would seem Stephen king! Although it would seem – Steven Spielberg!..

And the book itself, for that matter, are fairly good. In Russian it was published and republished in different formats in the order of 17 times. Here, for example, sounds like abstract extreme edition, 2016:

Again and again a twelve year old Jack Sawyer and his mother in the rush to move from one city to another, fleeing, changing hotels and taking care not to leave traces.
Who are they hiding from? Who — or what — is stalking them?
This Jack does not know, but he is absolutely sure that his mother was in mortal danger and only he can save her.
But for this he will have to cross the line to get into a different reality inhabited by the forces of Darkness, ready to strike…

It turns out that Spielberg still wants to film this story. Fresh news: he left his post, former Executive Director of Spielberg’s Amblin Partners, his place will be Steven himself. And here’s what he said about it:

I always enjoyed working with Michael [Wright, former CEO] and the unique experience of creative collaboration that we had, until recently, with Turner Broadcasting. I am very pleased to continue our relationship and I am very pleased that he will join us in working on future projects, “the Talisman” and “Wand” (The Wand) as Executive producer.

Thus, the film adaptation of “the Talisman” is still included in the plans of Spielberg and Michael Wright will be the Executive producer. Alas, it is not clear whether this will be a feature film or mini-series.
