Stephen King's novella "The Langoliers" was published in 1990 as part of the chilling collection, Four Past Midnight.
4 years later, writer/director Tom Holland began his journey to bring it to the TV screen. The challenge: Turn the original 200+ page story into a 4-hour, two-night, TV mini-series screenplay. The challenge was met, and the mini-series was a smashing success.
