Stephen King’s first novel is being adapted into a series by Mike Flanagan
Mike Flanagan has become one of the most influential voices in the horror genre in recent years. In addition to his Netflix series Hill House, Midnight Mass and The Fall of the House of Usher, he has received considerable praise for his films Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game. The director also recently adapted Stephen King’s short novel Life of Chuck into a film starring Tom Hiddleston in 2020.
The release date of ASUS's new gaming phone, the ROG Phone 9, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, has finally been announced.
Therefore, Mike Flanagan is considered the right name for the new project. The experienced director is considered the most suitable candidate for this project, as he has made several Stephen King adaptations in his career. It is worth remembering that in addition to Life of Chuck, the movie Doctor Sleep is also a King adaptation.
Carrie, which will meet the screen with Amazon’s signature, was Stephen King’s first novel and was first published in 1974. The book quickly became a bestseller and was later adapted into a movie starring Sissy Spacek in 1976.
The movie, directed by Brian DePalma, grossed over $30 million against a budget reported to be under $2 million. The film is also widely regarded as one of the best horror films of all time, and now the popular film is getting ready to be adapted into a TV series.
