As well as selling over 350 million copies of his books, the works of Stephen King are also among the most heavily-adapted source materials in Hollywood. Brian De Palma’s Carrie was the first to be brought to the big screen way back in 1976, and since then over 50 projects have been based on the author’s writing in some form or another, giving us the incredibly varied likes of The Shining, The Running Man, The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and It.
The Stephen King business is still booming, with 2019 alone bringing four adaptations of the prolific writer’s work. The most recent, Shining sequel Doctor Sleep, only hit theaters yesterday but in a recent interview, director Mike Flanagan revealed that he’s already developing another King-based idea.
“Stephen and I are talking actively about what’s next, and we have a great idea that I’m not allowed to talk about yet.
