Stephen King's The Dark Tower Getting TV Adaptation by Haunting of Hill House Creator

Stephen King’s The Dark Tower is being turned into a TV show. According to Deadline, the ambitious project is in the works from Mike Flanagan and Trevor Macy’s Intrepid Pictures under a new deal with Amazon Studios.

“I wrote a pilot. We view it as a series that’s going at least five seasons,” said Flanagan. “And having lived with this project as long as I have, I have an enormous amount of it worked out in my brain. But I have a pilot script I’m thrilled with and a very detailed outline for the first season and a broader outline for the subsequent seasons.”

It shoulda been a series in the first damn place. You can't fit 8 books worth of mind screw, time fukkery, universe hopping and gun busting into a 2 hour movie.

 

[NeoSeeker]

Should've been a TV series from the start.

 

[Mr. Negative]

Also waiting on The Talisman. It's supposed to be done by Netflix. Hopefully it'll lead them to doing Black House, and possibly other Dark Tower tie-ins (*cough*INSOMNIA*cough*)

one can only hope.

Hope they don't fukk it up. Though I've enjoyed most of their adaptations.

So that's why he left

Flanagan is a big get. This would have been golden on HBO and I’m still a bit saddened the adaptation couldn’t go through there years ago. I’m…cautiously optimistic for now.

It shouldn’t shock anybody when Kate Siegel inevitably gets cast.

In Mike Flanagan we trust

This isn't an old story right? I remember Amazon tried to do a Dark Tower series before then it got killed. We back?

Correct. Different director. Amazon's Scrapped Dark Tower Series Sounds Intriguing as Hell

Hope it's fire like season 2 of Castle Rock
