Mike Flanagan is a modern Master of Horror, who is capable of telling stories on both the big and small screen. From Netflix's "Saving Hill House" to his insidious micro-budget thriller "Hush", the man proved time and time again received the goods. More specifically, Flanagan has shown that he knows what is needed to make a great adaptation to Steven King, with the director puting his stamp on the "Life of Chuck" later this year. For King's fans, (I hope) the best is yet to come as Flanagan is working to bring the author's "dark tower" The saga in life as a TV series.

While many remain in the air, King gave the project his blessing. More than that, he was not so far classified to classify Flanagan's "Dark Tower" as "perfect". At a recent episode of "The Kingdom", " Host Eric Vesp grew up the upcoming TV show and, while the famous author would not say too much, what he offered was extremely encouraging. By king:

"I've seen scenarios and terrains. It starts where it should start. The blows are perfect. They are just perfect. "

"He's a king whisper," King joked about Flanagan's growing reputation for the possibility of successfully adjusting the author's most challenging works, With "Ericerald's Game" in 2017 it may be the biggest example. ("Doctor Sleep" is certainly another.) Since the "dark tower" consists of eight books published over several decades, it would certainly be fair to say that the adjustment of this spraying EP qualifies as a challenge. This is to say nothing of the heavenly expectations that fans have for the show. Without pressure.

Something ironic, 2017 is the same year that The film "Dark Tower" hit theaters and bombed the box officeserves as a critical and commercial disaster. That film, directed by Nikolai Arcel, starred Idris Elba as Roland Deskin, Aka Gunslinger, appeared with Matthew McConaughey as Walter Padick, Aka Randall Flagg, aka the man in black.

To say that the adoption of a satisfying, faithful adaptation of the most ambitious King story on the screen is difficult to underestimate. After the film "Dark Tower" failed, Amazon tried to make A. TV -Show "Dark Tower" with former show -Show of "The Walking Dead" Glen Mazarathat was later abolished. Mazara's plan was to start a "wizard and glass", which is the fourth book in the series as a whole, instead of "Gunslinger", which was first and originally published in 1982. What about where flangan intends to start? It remains to be seen, although King seems to have a real idea.

Flanagan also feels like a real person for the job. Between his TV shows experience such as "Midnight Mass" and his proven performance by doing King's work to sing on the screen, it's hard to argue not to put it at the head. The only problem is that Flanagan is a very, very busy person. He is currently working on a new "exorcist" film about Blumhouse and UniversalWhat seems to be his next project. Also on the front of the king, He develops a TV version of "Kerry" for the premiere video.

Flanagan provided a little update to the project in November 2024, comparing the series "Dark Tower" to "Launching an Oil Tanker". He also explained that the play "was first stopped by me moving from Netflix to Amazon and again stalled by strikes". For those who may not remember, 2023 also saw the guild of the actors on the screen, and America's guys on America went on strike for months. With every happiness, after Flanagan ends with an "exorcist", this long -awaited project can really start.

"The Dark Tower" is left without a date of publication, But you can prepare yourself by picking up books from Amazon.
