Steven King's "Dark Tower" series is generally considered fans of the author's Magnus opus. Expiring over seven novels and novels, it's a wild spray that stimulates many talented screenwriters who have tried to adapt to film and/or television. Obviously, with so much material, the streaming series would make the most sense, but because a good part of the saga is cinematic in scope, writers and directors continue to dream of bringing it to the big screen.

After the 2017 movie debacleWhat inappropriately tried to compress the narrative and thematic essence of the entire series in a 95 -minute movie, the "Dark Tower" seemed quite dead for the coming years. But director Mike Flanagan, who became a favorite of King's fans through his adaptations to the "Ericerald Game" and "Doctor Sleep", They managed to interest Amazon's prime minister's video interested in full -fledged, live action to take books and, stunningly, the company has yet to get cold legs.

A few months ago, it sounded like Flanagan's "Dark Tower" series, it was still a lot of ways to go to the cameras, but no one other than King himself recently indicated that it was still very alive and progressed forward. Where do things stand now?

During the performance of IGN FAN FEST 2025King, who attended to promote the ultra-crispy translation of King of King's "Monkey" of Ozgud Perkins of the King of the King's Monkey, revealed that it is currently evaporating new material for the Flanagan series. By king:

"All I can say is that it's happening. Now I'm writing things and I think that's all I mean because the next thing you know, I'll wake up a bunch of things I don't want to wake up yet. I am in the process right now and say too much feels like a jine. "

He did so for the miniseries of Paramount+ of "The Stand" in 2020 to the hit-or versatile effect, so you may not get Also Excited only for his involvement here. That said, Flanagan seems to understand the scale of the challenge before him, and, like King, does not want to overcome the legion of the author's constant readers. As a director said a Hollywood reporter Last September:

"That something launched a tanker with oil. But we are working on it. It was first stopped by me, moving from Netflix to Amazon and again stalling strikes. Progress, and we're farther away than we've ever been.

"The components of the features" sounds like films, which would be amazing, but with the memory of the 2017 film is still going on, I wonder how eagerly the premiere video for financing Flanagan's medium-segment, ambitious vision. We have to wait until that oil tanker is a little further away from the port before we get a sense of how much the "dark tower" of a big flanagan will really be. In the meantime we may learn that The Jameses Van takes a crack in the "stand".
