Mike Flanagan loves an adaptation. He’s already tackled The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, The Fall of the House of Usher, and The Midnight Club, but he has a particular predilection for the work of Stephen King. From Doctor Sleep to Gerald’s Game and the upcoming The Life of Chuck, the two have established a strong partnership.
Flanagan’s next King adaptation is a real doozy: the creator intends to tackle King’s sprawling fantasy epic, The Dark Tower, with a long-term plan of five seasons and even follow-up movies. And despite the source material’s checkered Hollywood reputation, a new quote from King should reassure fans that everything is on the right track.
