Stephen King novel Revival getting the feature film treatment

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

So, after news of a FIRESTARTER remake, THE STAND remake, a second season of THE OUTSIDER, and a feature film based off of THE GIRL WHO LOVED TOM GORDON, it seems Stephen King adaptations are going to keep coming at a rapid rate (expedited by the blockbuster success of the IT series). Meanwhile, Mike Flanagan (who wrote/directed yet another recent King adaptation, DOCTOR SLEEP) is set to write – and possibly direct – the 2014 Stephen King novel REVIVAL, which is about

the relationship between a heroin-addicted musician and a dubious faith healer with a hidden agenda. The minister is obsessed with trying to find a way to communicate with his departed wife and child but ends up connecting to a Lovecraftian horror.
