AI Summary

Mike Flanagan has become a frequent adapter of Stephen King, directing the 2017 film Gerald’s Game and later projects such as The Life of Chuck (2024) and Prime Video’s Carrie miniseries, which reached No. 1 on the Nielsen streaming chart with nearly 1.3 billion minutes viewed in its first five days. In 2019 he released Doctor Sleep, a film adaptation of King’s 2013 novel that follows adult Danny Torrance, played by Ewan McGregor. Flanagan blended the book’s narrative with elements from Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 The Shining, a version King has publicly disowned. The film earned 79 % from critics and 89 % from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes but did not perform strongly at the box office.
