Mike Flanagan assures Stephen King fans that his new take on The Mist "won't be a retread" of Frank Darabont's iconic film: "The differences start page 1"

The Mist.

Mike Flanagan says he has no plans to remake Frank Darabont's adaptation of Stephen King's novella The Mist, and that we're in store for something totally different.

"If there wasn’t an excellent answer to 'why,' I wouldn’t do it. I love Darabont's film, and there's zero point in remaking it, Flanagan wrote on BlueSky. "Which is why I’m going in a different direction. I learned a long ago never to try to predict what the fans will or won’t argue about… but yeah, this isn’t a retread. The differences start page 1.”
