There’s no shortage of Stephen King adaptations, but this one’s had quite the development journey.

Originally announced in 2019 and filmed in 2021, the movie was first slated for a 2022 theatrical release before it was tabled. For a while, it wasn’t clear whether the movie would come out at all. But Warner Bros. opted to make it a streaming-only release amid a need for more Max content, in a move that was criticized by some fans.

The new HBO series follows the production of a fictional superhero movie, the latest in a floundering franchise very obviously modeled on Marvel Studios.

The satire pokes fun at the producers and entire industry behind the process of churning out formulaic Blockbuster movies that most can’t even pretend to believe in anymore.
