If they were going to remake something, how about the horrible Dark Tower? Hollywood is kinda out of ideas
Netflix horror master moving to Amazon for new classic Stephen King adaptation
Popular horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan, best known for his creation of several thrilling Netflix mini dramas and movies, has reportedly inked a deal with Amazon to adapt an eight-episode series based on a Stephen King classic.
Flanagan previously directed a handful of hit Netflix shows, including The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, as well as Warner Bros’ 2019 horror fantasy Doctor Sleep, based on King’s 2013 novel. Now, he’s once again teaming up with the prolific horror author to adapt King’s 1974 classic novel, Carrie, according to Deadline.
I found Hill House tedious and boring, and didn’t make it far, but, regardless, Carrie has already been made twice. The first was awesome, the second in 2013 was OK. Why do we need it a 3rd time? How much Woke or idiocy will be in it?
Chucky 3 director Jack Bender is currently directing an adaptation of King’s 2019 book, The Institute, and Edgar Wright is helming a new iteration of 1982’s The Running Man. Meanwhile, Francis Lawrence is working with Lionsgate on The Long Walk, which was released in 1979 under King’s pseudonym, Richard Bachman.
Well, maybe if the Running Man is closer to the book. The Long Walk? Not sure, that is a seriously dark story. Just like one expected from early Stephen King. They could do a newer Dead Zone. Insomnia has never been done. They could do Under The Dome according to the book, rather than the horrible two season show. Couldn’t get by season 1. They could make movies or TV episodes out of his collection books Night Shift, Different Seasons, and Skeleton Crew, like has been done with some.. Sun Dog would be good from Four Past Midnight. You’d probably be shocked how many movies have been made from his books and short stories.
King has previously vocalized his dislike of Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaptation of The Shining, once describing it as “a big, beautiful Cadillac with no engine inside it.”
He also slammed the director’s portrayal of Wendy – played by the late Shelley Duvall, opposite Jack Nicholson’s Jack Torrence – as “one of the most misogynistic characters ever put on film.”
Do one that mirrors the book. Seriously, though, there are tons of books in scifi and horror I could recommend be turned into movies and miniseries. Many of them would do gangbusters on the big screen. And some thrillers. The Jack Sigler series by Jeremy Robinson would be great. David Achord’s Thomas Ironcutter mystery series is awesome. Something lighthearted? Mango Bob. Most of Greig Beck’s stuff would work well. I could keep going.
Anyhow, I’m seeing more interesting stuff coming from European nations and Australia than Hollywood. Sure, there is some stuff. But, there used to be tons. Go back and look at October 2004, 1994, 1984, etc. There were so many more good films being released.

Not that you’d know it from this year’s Presidential campaign. Vice-President Kamala Harris, since becoming the Democratic nominee, has spoken very little about climate change. To the degree that a transition from fossil fuel has been discussed at all, it’s been in the form of her assuring Pennsylvanians that she won’t interfere with fracking. She has spoken about creating green jobs, but not much else. The reasons are fairly clear. First, the Democratic Party essentially had no primary season. Biden faced only token challenge, and when he stepped down Harris was nominated by acclamation, so activists had no chance to elevate climate change to a crucial electoral issue, as they had done in 2020. Remember the backdrop: Greta Thunberg’s movement had crested in the fall of 2019, with some six million people marching in protests around the world. In this country, the Sunrise Movement was pushing a Green New Deal. The governor of Washington, Jay Inslee, who was also briefly a Presidential candidate, called that time a “magic moment” for climate politics. NBC reported, “Climate change has recently shot to the top of polls of issues that Democratic voters care about in the presidential primary, rivaling for the first time longstanding bread-and-butter topics like health care.” Harris, in her primary bid, said that global warming “represents an existential threat to who we are as a species.” Biden, after winning the nomination, secured Senator Bernie Sanders’s support by committing to work with him on climate initiatives.
