Mike Flanagan is adapting yet another classic Stephen King work. Like most King titles, this one has already had a film (2017), and an unaired pilot for a series (2020). We’re speaking of course about “The Dark Tower.“
According to Flanagan himself, he and his producing partners acquired the rights to “The Dark Tower” before signing their massive deal with Amazon.
“Predating our deal with Amazon, we acquired the rights to ‘The Dark Tower,’ which if you know anything about me, you know it has been my Holy Grail of a project for most of my life,” Flanagan said. “We actually have those rights carved out of our Amazon deal, which doesn’t mean that they can’t or won’t get behind it at some point — you don’t know. But that’s something we’ve been developing ourselves and are really passionate about finally getting it up on its feet at some point.”
This is VERY exciting, and hopefully we’ll actually get to SEE this one.

Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
