(King, for the records, claims to have not heard of The Simpsons Movie plot at the time of publication and we can probably put it down to one of those happy coincidences).Įven people who haven’t read UNDER THE DOME, or seen the TV series of the same name, know what it is about. King had actually been playing with the idea since the late 1970s with the unpublished and unfinished novel The Cannibals, originally titled (you guessed it) Under the Dome.
Yet the truth is not as clear-cut as all that. So, when UNDER THE DOME was published in 2009, many were quick to point out the similarities between that film and the plot of the movie and King’s novel. In The Simpsons Movie (2007), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) imprisoned Springfield under a giant glass dome. No matter what scenario you create in pop culture, The Simpsons got there first.
