Stephen King can be easily considered to be the king of horror. His mammoth number of stories have found tons of success, with a lot of them being adapted to equally profitable on-screen adaptations as well. But what if we told you that his son, Joe Hill is also an author and that his novel, ‘NOS4A2‘ has been adapted into a television adaptation?
‘NOS4A2′ is an AMC show based on Hill’s novel of the same name and sports a rather twisted premise that horror fans will certainly enjoy. The tale revolves around Victoria “Vic” McQueen, an artist who finds out that she has a supernatural “power:” of being capable of tracking down the menacing Charlie Manx who appears to be immortal. Manx is infamous for feeding off kids’ souls and dumping the remainder to an otherworldly place called Christmasland. Christmasland is a village of Manx’s imagination where each day is Christmas and being unhappy is illegal. Vic realizes that she has to ensure her sanity stays intact while attempting to rescue Manx’s victims and defeat him.
Zachary Quinto plays the role of Manx while that of Vic is essayed by Ashleigh Cummings. Other cast members include Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Jahkara J. Smith, Ebon Moss Bachrach, and Virginia Kull.
NOS4A2 Filming Locations
As one might have guessed, there is a lot of speculation in ‘NOS4A2’ when it comes to the locations that the series is set in. There are tons of fantastical, otherworldly locations in the show. Hence, it is natural for the viewers to wonder where the series is shot.
Rhode Island
‘NOS4A2’ is entirely filmed in the state of Rhode Island in the New England region. Most of the filming is carried out on a set which is specially constructed for the show. The set is located in a warehouse in North Kingstown. Here, sets for the Shorter Way Bridge, Vic’s house, and the hospital are constructed. Sources have also reported filming being conducted in Woods State Park and Quonset Business Park.
