Although his career is long (he has been directing series and films for more than 20 years), the name of Mike Flanagan has become particularly popular in the last five years, thanks to works such as The Curse of Hill Houseone of Netflix's most acclaimed series, along with Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass and most recently The Midnight Club.
The director, who specializes in terror, the supernatural and the occult, is about to make the leap from Netflix to Amazon Prime Video, a platform on which he will realize a personal dream: to create a series adapted from a work of Stephen King. We are talking about The Dark Tower, a saga of novels between 1982 and 2012in which we can find genres as diverse as horror, fantasy and even western.
The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix is one of the most acclaimed horror series of the past decade.
"It's not about making it Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings"
If Flanagan is clear on one thing, it's that the main focus of the show is to respect Stephen King's original work. Several weeks ago, the director commented in an interview with IGN that The Dark Tower is " the project of your dreamsand that "nothing would make him happier than having the honor of working on something like this". In addition, he made a point of specifying that in the event of collision, fidelity would be a fundamental element: "The characters are what they are and the story is what it is, It's not about turning The Dark Tower into Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings“, he explained.
Mike Flanagan's relationship with Netflix is on hold. On the one hand, the cancellation of the Midnight Club and his signing for Amazon Prime Video leaves us with clear clues about his future. However, on the other hand, we have your express desire to continue with Midnight Mass and do a season 2. Something that Netflix hasn't yet commented on, but it doesn't seem crazy, since after all the series has been very popular and fans of horror and vampire stories liked it very much.
