Stephen King is keeping quite active at the moment. He’s busy getting ready for the launch of his new book titled “Never Flinch”, working on a fairy tale picture book about Hansel and Gretel, and enjoying the flourishing success of Osgood Perkins’ adaptation of his work, “The Monkey”. Remarkably, it appears that The Life of Chuck director Mike Flanagan has managed to draw King into a more active role in the upcoming television adaptation of one of his most renowned novels. If this project manages to excite King, fans can only imagine the level of excitement they’ll feel about Flanagan’s daring endeavor.
The director of “Gerald’s Game” is currently developing a television series based on Stephen King’s lengthiest novel series, “The Dark Tower.” Despite a previous film adaptation that fell short, the intricate storyline of “The Dark Tower” books seems better suited for a series format. King was immediately impressed by Flanagan’s “spot-on” script. However, King has now revealed to IGN that he will play a more active role in the creation of this epic fantasy tale, contributing in the best way he can.
Flanagan’s adaptation of The Dark Tower series emphasizes staying true to the intricate narrative of the novels, aided by the foremost authority on the book series: Stephen King himself. At IGN Fan Fest 2025, IGN inquired about King potentially adding fresh content for Flanagan’s interpretation, similar to what he did with Paramount+’s limited series The Stand. During this interview, King expressed confidence that the series is being handled capably by both himself and Flanagan.
I can only confirm that it’s happening. At the moment, I’m busy writing and I don’t feel ready to reveal more just yet. I have a feeling that discussing further details might create unnecessary complications that I’d rather avoid for now. I’m still in the process of gathering my thoughts, and I don’t want to jinx anything by saying too much.
Not Just King, Mike Flanagan Has Got it Going On
Mike Flanagan is well-versed in the realm of Stephen King stories, having established a lasting connection through his adaptations like “Gerald’s Game.” After traversing from film festivals to distribution, Flanagan’s adaptation of King’s short story “The Life of Chuck” will grace theaters in May. Not content with just one King project, the director is also working on a series based on King’s 1974 novel, “Carrie,” for Amazon. Remarkably, this isn’t the extent of Flanagan’s plans.
Apart from commanding the limelight in the King adaptation movie sphere, Flanagan is also making strides towards one of the most buzzed-about happenings in comic cinema today: the reimagining of the DC Universe. This prolific writer has managed to persuade James Gunn to incorporate a film about a Batman villain rarely acknowledged, dubbed Clayface. The upcoming movie will be directed by James Watkins of Speak No Evil fame, with Flanagan penning the script. At the moment, this versatile filmmaker is ruling the roost in the cinematic world, and fans are eagerly anticipating his creative brilliance unfold on screen.
