Mike Flanagan’s Next Stephen King Movie Officially Hits a Major Milestone

Frank Darabont’s The Mist set a punishing standard for anyone attempting another adaptation of Stephen King’s novella. Its final scene remains one of the most devastating endings in modern horror, ensuring that any new version will face immediate comparisons. Mike Flanagan is not running from that challenge, but he has no interest in recreating what Darabont already accomplished. Flanagan’s upcoming Mist movie reunites him with King after Gerald’s Game, Doctor Sleep, The Life of Chuck, and the new Prime Video adaptation of Carrie. Warner Bros. announced the project earlier this year, but has not revealed its cast, production schedule, or release date. Flanagan has now offered a concrete update on how far the movie has progressed behind the scenes.
