Hollywood keeps making Stephen King adaptations and yet they haven't done this one. Why?

OP might have meant an actual Hollywood adaption and not a "made for tv" budget one. He wants a bad version.

The main character in the novel suffers from arthritis, and much of the prose is her internal monologue as she experiences the chronic pain.

>Movie version: the actress looks at her hands and frowns a lot

no... it is based on stephen king's work, so that means it has a decent premise, and then truns to shit in the the last third. HIs best work is in short stories

A grim warning of the future. But will we listen?

>On May 22, 1996, Needful Things was aired in a four-hour timeslot on TBS. This airing included more than an hour of excised footage not included in the THEATRICAL RELEASE, including scene extensions, abridgements, reordering, and additional scenes of character & world development, in addition to edits for language & violence.

He'd never allow it, he won't even let them sell it anymore I think.
