The Big Picture Between movies, TV, and even a few video games, there is a sea of Stephen King adaptations out there for fans to consume, but there are still a number of his works yet to be lifted from the page. One of these is his 1981 short story, "The Jaunt." This bite-size sci-fi horror story packs a ridiculous amount of substance into just over 20 pages.
What Is Stephen King's "The Jaunt" About? The story begins with Mark Oates and his family sitting in New York's Port Authority Terminal as they wait to be Jaunted to Mars for a two-year business trip. Oates' children become curious as to how the Jaunt came about, so until the Jaunting service comes to teleport him and his family away, Oates recounts the story of its invention for his children.
Why Is Stephen King's "The Jaunt" Perfect for a Film Adaptation? Close If there's any short story of King's that's perfect for adaptation into film, it's this one. It's easy to imagine "The Jaunt" as a tight 80-minute sci-fi thriller, one with a knockout ending that would quickly veer into some pretty shocking horror.
