![]() Prior to the release of Doctor Sleep, writer/director Mike Flanagan teased that he was “talking actively” with Stephen King about making a third adaptation of the author’s work (having previously made 2017’s Gerald’s Game), and in May of 2020 it was revealed that said work was Revival.ĭepressingly, the project didn’t make it to New Year’s Day 2021 before falling off the vine. Sadly, the film ended up in development hell, and never found an exit.Ībout three years later, the idea of a Revival movie was, for lack of a better word, revived. Jackson, who plays supporting parts in Stephen King adaptations 1408 and Cell, was lined up to play Charles Jacobs shortly after the movie was announced as being in development. The project gained speed quickly, with Josh Boone hoping to start production within the year, and it even attracted big name talent. In February 2016 it was announced that The Fault In Our Stars director Josh Boone was developing a spec script adapting the book – with Stephen King himself giving the potential project his stamp of approval, according to Deadline. It took about a year-and-a-half after the publication of Revival for a movie to get in the works. ![]() (Image credit: Audience) The Attempts At Adapting Stephen King’s Revival Thus Far ![]()
