DreamWorks TV is looking to develop author Stephen King’s newest novel Under the Dome as a potential cable miniseries. King and DreamWorks founder Steven Spielberg will serve as executive producers.

According to the folks at Variety, DreamWorks TV plans to lock a writer to the project before shopping it around to prospective buyers. King and Spielberg collaborated once before on the yet-to-be-released screen adaptation of King’s 1984 thriller Talisman.

Under the Dome was released on Nov. 10 to positive reviews. The book’s story centers around the havoc caused by a mysterious force field that mysteriously drops over a small resort town in Maine. While “Simpsons” fans will surely make plot comparisons between King’s novel and 2007’s The Simpsons Movie, in which a dome is dropped over Springfield, it should be noted that Dome is a project King has been working on since the 70’s when it was called The Cannibals. Doh!

Under the Dome is available now everywhere books are sold. While you’re at, pick up my personal King favs Thinner and It.
