Mike Flanagan Is Following 'Doctor Sleep' By Adapting Stephen King's 'Revival' For Warner Bros.

Mike Flanagan may give James Wan a run for his money in terms of the number of projects he has in development. In addition to writing and directing the “The Haunting of Hill House” follow-up series “The Haunting of Bly Manor” for Netflix, he’s also working on both adapting the horror novel “The Midnight Club” as a series as well as the original concept “Midnight Mass.” Turns out, Flanagan is now adding a third Stephen King adaptation to his resume, in the form of an adaptation of the author’s 2014 horror novel “Revival” which Flanagan will turn into a film for Warner Bros.

THR has the report, which states that Flanagan is writing the script and possibly directing it. The filmmaker is once again teaming up with longtime producer Trevor Macy, to tackle the adaptation of the prolific author’s novel. “Revival” is one of the best Stephen King books from recent years, partially inspired by “Frankenstein” and with a Lovecraftian flair to it.

The story follows the unlikely relationship between a musician addicted to drugs and a minister who’s turned into a faith healer that treats patients through electrical experiments. The novel is full of personal tragedies before diving into some disturbing places, and its blend of drama and horror sounds perfect for Flanagan’s brand of emotionally devastating that can scare you and make you tear up.

“Revival” joins a long line of film adaptations of King’s books. In addition to the highly successful “It” adaptation and HBO’s recent “The Outsider”, J.J. Abrams is working on a new HBO Max series “Overlook,” which is inspired by “The Shining.” There’s adaptations of “The Stand,” “Lisey’s Story” and “Girl who Loved Tom Gordon” at different stages of development, while we’re supposed to get yet another adaptation of the vampire tale “Salem’s Lot”
