ABC is finally moving ahead with plans to turn Stephen King's "Kingdom Hospital" into a series, Variety reports. The project has been in development for several years but now has landed on the net's January 2004 schedule. The 15-hour outing will debut as a two-hour movie and will then unfold in 13 weekly installments. It draws its inspiration from a 1994 Danish miniseries titled "The Kingdom" that revolves around a haunted hospital built on an ancient graveyard. The drama was originally scheduled to air this season but was delayed after King announced that he personally wanted to pen the scripts for all 15 hours of the miniseries.thought you'd like to know.
