Mike Flanagan says he's working closely with Stephen King on his Dark Tower adaptation: "I'm not gonna let him down"
Mike Flanagan says his Dark Tower adaptation is "constantly inꦛ the works"

Filmmaker Mike Flanagan has offered an update on his long-awaited TV adaptation of Stephen King's The Dark Tower, which was first announced at Amazon Prime back in 2022. And while Flanaga😼n doesn't have a date or a timeline nailed down, he's assuring fans that he's hard at work on the series - and that 🔥he's answering directly to King himself.
"It's ꧑not that I've put it down. It's just that the thing is so big, it's like building an oil tanker," Flanagan tells about The Dark Tower. "We've been moving it forward this whole time. It's just, that's how big it is. It's constantly in the works, and you better believe as often as you𒁃 guys may want to ask about it, Stephen King is asking me about it more, and I'm not gonna let him down."
Earlier this year, King disclosed that he was helꦛping write The Dark Tower TV adaptation, which is said to be planned to run for five seasons in order to fully capture theꦕ writer's sprawlin🌞g eight book epic.
"All I can say is, it's happe✤ning," King said at the time. "I am writing stuff now, and I think that's all I want to say, because the next thing you know, I'll stir up a bunch of stuff I don't necessarily want to stir up yet. I'm in process right now, and to say too much feels like a ji🍸nx."
The Dark Tower was previously adapted into a single film that is, let's say, poorly regarded among fans. That said, Flanagan has proven himself as more than capable when it comes to adapting King's work, including his upcoming adaptation of King's novella 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Life of Chuck, and another planned series adaptation of💞 King's seminal first novelꦏ Carrie.
The Life of Chuck hits theaters on June 6. The Dark Tower does not yet have a release date. For more, check out the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Prime Video movies and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Prime Video shows.
