Mike Flanagan's 'Dark Tower' adaptation gets Stephen King's stamp of approval.
Over the last decade Mike Flanagan has quickly become a horror icon thanks to his twisted films like Oculus and mind-blowing scares on TV like Midnight Mass. Late last year it was reported that Flanagan had a series adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower in the works. Now, King himself has broken his silence on the potential series and gave his terrifying stamp of approval.
Responding to a passionate fan on Twitter eager for both Flanagan and Amazon to make the series, King simply said, “The writer happens to agree.” Now this shouldn’t be all too surprising as both Flanagan and King seem to have a great working relationship that started with the underrated 2017 Netflix gem Gerald’s Game. The critical success of that film would lead to Flanagan’s biggest film to date, 2019’s Doctor Sleep.

The writer-director, as of the end of last year, has already written a pilot that he’s very happy with. Flanagan ended his deal with Netflix in late 2022 and signed a new first look deal with Amazon.
