Though the future holds many upcoming Stephen King adaptations to look forward to, a growing number of intriguing projects unfortunately never made it to the screen. One book-to-screen adaptation I was particularly excited about was "Revival," with horror maestro Mike Flanagan previously attached to direct. Unfortunately, it never came to be, and the creator of "Haunting of Hill House" shared his latest thoughts on the project, which slipped through his fingers.
"Revival" tells the story of preacher Charles Jacobs, who becomes obsessed with experiments involving electrical healing, and Jamie Morton, a young boy fascinated by Jacobs’ unusual abilities. Several attempts to adapt "Revival" into a movie have been made, with "New Mutants" director Josh Boone first taking a shot, and Mike Flanagan getting on board in early 2020.
