“Just do the books.” Mike Flanagan on adapting Stephen King’
Mike Flanagan talks about his upcoming adaptation of The Dark Tower and why he believes other adaptations haven’t worked.“The thing about The Dark Tower, that’s so incredible is Stephen King builds an astonishing universe, and it’s huge,” Flanagan continued at this year’s NYCC. “It’s populated with such a richness of characters and scale and scope eventually, but he starts that story with one person following another person in a barren desert. It has one of the greatest opening lines of any novel of all time. That’s how you do it. And you start with two people in a simple story. One is trying to catch the other. That’s it, and everything else is gradually added to it.
