When some information in Johnny's visions is beyond his perception, he considers that information as existing "in the dead zone." In the film adaptation, the phrase "dead zone" is that part of his psychic vision that is missing-a blank area that he cannot see. In the novel, the phrase "dead zone" refers to the part of Johnny's brain that is irreparably damaged, resulting in his dormant psychic potential awakening. The novel also inspired a television series of the same name in the early 2000s, starring Anthony Michael Hall, the pilot episode of which borrowed some ideas and changes used in the 1983 film. Walken plays a schoolteacher, Johnny Smith, who awakens from a coma to find he has psychic powers. The film stars Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom, Martin Sheen, Anthony Zerbe, and Colleen Dewhurst. The screenplay, by Jeffrey Boam, is based on the 1979 novel of the same name by Stephen King. The Dead Zone is a 1983 American science-fiction thriller film directed by David Cronenberg.
