We’re in a new golden age of Stephen King adaptations. Granted, most of it is coming from Mike Flanagan, who just released The Life of Chuck and is now working on a Carrie series while also juggling the long-awaited Dark Tower show. But there’s also Edgar Wright’s Running Man remake, the upcoming Long Walk movie (for those who prefer walking-based dystopian game shows to running-based ones), and the It: Welcome to Derry prequel series (for those who want to see small-town sewer clown murders go intergenerational).
In addition to all of that, a renowned filmmaker is taking a crack at a theatrical adaptation of one of King’s most ambitious projects. The only problem? Its last adaptation was just a few years ago.
