Mike Flanagan To Continue His Series of Stephen King Adaptations with Revival’
Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy, the filmmakers behind last year’s adaptation of King novel Doctor Sleep, are tackling the author’s 2014 novel, Revival, for Warner Bros.Flanagan is writing the script with an option to direct. Flanagan and Macy will produce via the pair’s Intrepid Pictures.
The novel focused on the relationship between a heroin-addicted musician and a dubious faith healer with a hidden agenda. The minister is obsessed with trying to find a way to communicate with his departed wife and child but ends up connecting to a Lovecraftian horror.
Revival is one of the King novels which I haven’t read, but my understanding is that it’s sort of a Frankenstein-esq tale.
What I do know is that I absolutely loved Doctor Sleep (which reminds me, I need to give the Director’s Cut a spin), so I’m game to see what Flanagan does with Revival.
