But when the network is TNT, and the work is based on the short stories of Stephen King, anything is possible. Beginning Wednesday, July 12 and running Wednesdays for four weeks, each of the eight hourlong episodes of "Nightmares & Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King" boasts the look and feel of a feature film and offers the suspense, drama and chills that fans of the iconic horror author have come to expect. Among those signing on for scares are William H. Macy ("Fargo"), Ron Livingston ("Office Space"), Claire Forlani ("Meet Joe Black") and Steven Weber , ("Wings"), who shared their journeys through "Nightmares & Dreamscapes." "When I read the script, there was no way I could not do it," explains Macy, who stars in "Urn-- , ney"s Last Case" on July 19.

"I feel that Stephen King is such a wonder; fill, storyteller, that every once in a while we forget the fact that he can really write," Macy says. Forlani was a little more hesitant to sign on, but no less drawn in by the project's pedigree. "1 was actually really worried when I got sent this script," she admits.
