Castle Rock Entertainment is an American film and television production company founded in 1987 by Martin Shafer, director Rob Reiner, Andrew Scheinman, Glenn Padnick and Alan Horn. It is a label of Warner Bros. Entertainment, itself a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD).

It was founded in 1987. It is a part of Time Warner's Warner Bros. Rob Reiner, Alan Horn, Andrew Scheinman, Martin Shafer and Glenn Padnick founded the company. Reiner named the company after the fictional Maine town used in Stephen King stories.

After a failed attempt to divest the company, Time Warner integrated Castle Rock Entertainment into Warner Bros., and cut its production slate to five films per year. On June 27, 1997, Castle Rock's staff was reduced to 60 employees and Castle Rock International was folded into Warner Bros.

Castle Rock Entertainment, Inc., headquartered in Beverly Hills, CA, is a company specializing film production and television programming.

Castle Rock is set in Stephen King's world, and refers to certain elements that will be familiar to readers of his books, but none of the episodes are direct adaptations of any of his works. Each season tells a self-contained story.

Castle Rock (sometimes referred to as the Rock) is a fictional town appearing in Stephen King's fictional Maine topography, providing the setting for a number of his novels, novellas, and short stories.

Bill Skarsgård Is it really a coincidence that Castle Rock cast the man who played Pennywise the Clown in last year's It? Even if so, as the creepy kid found in the water tank at Shawshank, Skarsgård's presence adds another layer of menace to the show because of the monster we've already seen him play.

If Castle Rock is set in the present, then it's been 27 years since those events. In It, the titular creature (who takes many frightening forms, but is most frequently seen as Pennywise the Dancing Clown) lays dormant for 27 years before reemerging to wreak havoc on the people of Derry, Maine.

It's official. Castle Rock will not be returning for a third season. Hulu has canceled the psychological horror series starring Lizzy Caplan after two seasons, Deadline has confirmed. Season 2 of the anthology series premiered more than a year ago.

Castle Rock was destroyed at the end of Needful Things (published in 1991) after every prank and mysterious deed provoked by Leland Gaunt ended with the town being destroyed.

The new Hulu series Castle Rock doesn't adapt any single Stephen King story directly, but instead takes place in a world of interconnected short stories and novels set within the author's favorite creepy Maine town.

That goes for Castle Rock as well: though it's been the setting for several King stories (The Dead Zone, Cujo, The Dark Half, Needful Things), it is entirely a figment of the author's imagination.

Castle Rock's connection to The Shining is one of its more curious aspects. The novel, as well as Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film of the same name, takes place in Colorado, with flashbacks set in Vermont, not Maine. Why, then, are there so many allusions to The Shining in the show?

Castle Rock follows death row attorney Henry Deaver (André Holland), who is lured back to his unsettling hometown by an anonymous phone call regarding an unidentifiable man found caged underneath Shawshank prison (yes, that Shawshank).

Castle Rock tells an original story, about an orphan named Henry Deaver (Andre Holland) who left town and became a death row defense attorney after being blamed for his adoptive father's mysterious death. But its location, and even some of its characters, come straight from King, who gave executive producer J.J.

Robert "Bob" Gray In the novel, It claims that its true name is Robert "Bob" Gray, but decided to be named “It”. Throughout the book, It is generally referred to as male, usually appearing as Pennywise.
