And guess what their dream project is? They’ve embarked on the journey to adapt Stephen King’s ‘The Dark Tower’ into a series. That’s right! The beloved novels are getting a fresh twist. While we haven’t heard much about it, Mike Flanagan, one of Intrepid Picture’s main guys, did mention that ‘The Dark Tower’ project would be his top priority once he’d wrapped up his other commitments.
Recently, Flanagan is also involved in the making of the next Exorcist movie for Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions. This might mean ‘The Dark Tower’ has to wait a while, but good news is, it’s definitely not forgotten.
Vernon Sanders, the big boss of Amazon MGM Studios television, confirmed in a chat with The Wrap that the studios are keeping in touch with Flanagan about ‘The Dark Tower’ and other Intrepid productions.

Sanders couldn’t share much about ‘The Dark Tower’, but he did reveal that they are figuring out how to prioritize their exciting projects. Imagine sitting in those meetings, deciding which amazing idea gets to go first!
For fans interested in how everything came together, Flanagan got the rights to ‘The Dark Tower’ by impressing Stephen King with a very detailed outline of what he planned to do. Good thing King loved it, because Flanagan wouldn’t have gone ahead if King didn’t approve. And King’s not just okay with it, he’s excited!
Flanagan plans a whopping five seasons for ‘The Dark Tower’ series. Can you imagine? Five seasons of intense, magical storytelling. And guess what? This might be followed by not one, but TWO feature films. But hey, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The main focus now is to get the series up and running.
‘The Dark Tower’s universe is vast, as many other Stephen King’s stories are connected to it in some way. The novel series itself consists of multiple books, including ‘The Gunslinger’, ‘The Drawing of the Three’, and ‘The Dark Tower’, among others.
