help Hearts in Atlantis FAQ
Which Stephen King story is Hearts in Atlantis based on?
The film primarily adapts Low Men in Yellow Coats from King's 1999 collection Hearts in Atlantis. It borrows the collection's title even though it does not adapt the separate novella actually called Hearts in Atlantis.
Who are the Low Men looking for in the film?
They are pursuing Ted Brautigan, the mysterious boarder played by Anthony Hopkins, because of his psychic abilities. Ted hires Bobby Garfield to watch for signs such as lost-pet notices and strange chalk symbols.
How is the film connected to Stephen King's Dark Tower books?
The original Low Men in Yellow Coats story has explicit connections to the Dark Tower mythology. The 2001 movie removes most of that larger fantasy framework and presents the Low Men more ambiguously.
Who plays young Bobby Garfield?
Anton Yelchin plays Bobby as a child, while David Morse plays the adult Bobby. The story centers on Bobby's bond with Ted during the summer of 1960.
