You know the story, the Stephen King book and movie about the main Town swallowed by a strange mist. And if you saw the movie you remember the Terrible ending. Mike Flanagan is poised and ready to remake the film and push it in a new direction.
In a series of posts on BlueSky, he said that his adaptation is going to be different from what people already saw and he’s going to go his own way. Everywhere Mike Flanagan goes we actually follow.
“The Mist is going to be great. If there wasn’t an excellent answer to why, I wouldn’t do it.” He continues in a follow-up post, “I love Darabont’s film, and there’s zero point in remaking it. Which is why I’m going in a different direction.”
He wrote further, “This isn’t a retread. The differences start page 1.”
“And FWIW, I got the same ‘but why’ comments for Haunting of Hill House, Bly Manor, House of Usher, Carrie, The Exorcist, even Ouija: Origin of Evil,” Flanagan said. “Also got it for Life of Chuck. I’ve been lucky so far in my career to only take on projects I’m really excited about.”
This was really exciting and we can’t wait
