Mike Flanagan, who caught the eye of Blumhouse with his indie Absentia and would go on to direct Ouija 2 and Oculus for the studio, would eventually find his footing with an adaptation of Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game back in 2017.

Since then, he’s become mostly a “King guy”, bringing several of the author’s most beloved stories to life, including Amazon’s forthcoming “Carrie” series, and, after, the promise of the long-developed “The Dark Tower”.

After years in development, Flanagan tells Empire Magazine that his series adaptation of “The Dark Tower” is making excellent progress. Flanagan specifically stated that the project is “moving” and that “We’ve got a lot of scripts done for it.” He even went as far as to call the project “a priority,” noted Collider, which shared the news.

As for the 2017 film adaptation of The Dark Tower starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey, Flanagan promises: “We can’t let that be the final word. We really can’t.”

The other King adaptation, “Carrie”, wrapped production in October and will hit the service sometime...
