When news Mike Flanagan to adjust Steven King's "dark tower" He appeared in 2022, few were more enthusiastic than King himself. The giant project maintains a low profile while Flanagan has been working on other things - and "The fall of Usher's house" miniseri and the adaptation of the king ", Chuck's life has diminished since the publication - but the author retained the torch. In 2025, King described King alone. Flanagan's plan to adapt "the dark tower" as "perfect", and confirm that He will write material about it (Although he later withdrawn that statement, which is a little confusing).

Now, Flanagan himself has provided a welcome project update. In an interview with Comic -bookHe confirmed that while his "dark tower" is still far away, he always works on it ... and that the king is just as enthusiastic behind the scenes:

"It's not that I lowered it. Just something is so big, it's like building an oil tanker. We've been moving it forward. Then it's, it's how big it's in the works, and you believe better as you may want to ask about it, Stephen King is no longer asking."

Flanagan is not joking when teasing the project scope. The series "The Dark Tower" consists of eight main books of king-sized, novella and a children's book called "Charlie Hu-Cho", and her story has several links with King's other literary output. Flanagan predicted his adaptation "The Dark Tower" as a five -season video show when he took over in 2022 ... but also with Amazon and King in his corner, who knows what the ultimate scale of the project will be?

Mike Flanagan is a truly appropriate person to drive the "dark tower". The Horror writer-director whose fruitful outcome almost rival King himself, Flanagan, is responsible for some of the most attractive horror has been presented and films of recent years. In addition to establishing itself as a genre laminar with projects such as inventive slaver "Hush" (2016), "the" Haunting "Anthology series, and magical Gothic Horror Miniseri Midnight Mass (2021), it also became something of the royal adaptation, 2019) ”(2019). In fact, the "Dark Tower" is not the only Steven King project Flanagan has on its plate at the moment. In October 2024, we learned that he was also Adjusting King's First Book, "Kerry", like TV Series For the premiere video.

Consider all this, and it is a miracle that Flanagan still finds time to deal with the huge entity, his vision of the "dark tower" seems to be destined to become ... and, to be honest, it will have to be if he really wants to respect the widespread original material. The news that the project is moving steadily (if slowly) is encouraging and shows that Flanagan's eye remains on the ball. Perhaps one day, his "Dark Tower" will finally be able to clear the film version of the movie "Abysmal 2017" from the fans' minds.
