Why Mike Flanagan MUST Adapt Joe Hill’s Heart Shaped Box NOW!
One notable feature of Flanagan’s career involves his frequent adaptations of Stephen King’s literary works. This pattern started with the 2017 movie “Gerald’s Game,” which was based on King’s 1992 novel of the same title. Following this, in 2019, Flanagan released “Doctor Sleep,” an adaptation of King’s 2013 novel with the same name. Flanagan’s affinity for adapting King’s work persists, as evidenced by his recent release, “The Life of Chuck,” and his current projects, which include adaptations of both “Carrie” and “The Dark Tower” for Amazon. Considering this trajectory, it’s intriguing to contemplate if Flanagan might shift from adapting King’s works to adapting the work of Stephen King’s son, Joe Hill.
