REVIVAL Mike Flanagan Is No Longer Working on New Stephen King Flick By Mike Sprague
Gerald’s Game and
Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan was recently set to write and direct yet another King adaptation:
Revival. But over the weekend, Flanagan confirmed – in a round about way – his version isn’t happening.
[The Stand director Josh Boone and I] started emailing because I went on to eBay to buy a limited edition of Revival – a beautiful set of Revival, and Josh was selling it. I bought it, and he emailed me on eBay first when the transaction first started, like, ‘Uhhh, hi.’ ‘Oh my god!’ And so we got to go back and forth about Revival, being a project that Josh was doing first and then I also ended up not doing Revival. So we have that in common; we’ve both been through the ringer on that particular story.”
