Mike Flanagan to Adapt Stephen King's THE DARK TOWER as Series + Feature for Amazon Studios
This is a pivotal moment for Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy's Intrepid Pictures, which the duo launched in 2004. After six years creating and producing for Netflix, including the last four under an overall deal, the duo behind The Haunting TV franchise and Midnight Mass are moving to Amazon Studios. Additionally, they are taking on their most ambitious project to date: a screen adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, which creator Flanagan envisions as a TV series to run for five seasons, followed by two stand-alone features.
This is massive news for King fans like myself. Flanagan has knocked his prior adaptations out of the park, with Doctor Sleep and Gerald's Game, and the idea of a proper version of The Dark Tower being done as a multimedia project has me salivating.
