The late David Lynch was always best known for his fascination with the grotesque. Although Lynch never considered himself a surrealist, his films often stretched into the surreal, presenting a dark, bent version of reality where only dream logic applies. His debut feature, "Eraserhead," he once described as "a dream of dark and troubling things." Many celebrated his controversial 1986 neo-noir "Blue Velvet," a film that is full of murder, kink, and aggressive sexuality. He deconstructed soap opera dynamics with his somnambulistic TV series (and subsequent feature film version of) "Twin Peaks," went on a lusty crime spree with "Wild at Heart," and made a shadowy contemplation of shifting identities with his porn-inflected 1997 flick "Lost Highway."

Then, in 1999, Lynch did the strangest thing he could have possibly done. He made a G-rated biographical movie for the Disney company.

For "The Straight Story," Lynch eschewed his usual obsessions with sex, death, and violence,...

In 1967, when he was only 21, the late David Lynch moved to Philadelphia with his pregnant wife, Peggy. The city would change him forever. He moved into a cheap home in an impoverished neighborhood that was lousy with crime. He also felt he wasn't prepared to be a father, although he did very much love his daughter, Jennifer. In the interview book "Lynch on Lynch," the filmmaker said that Philadelphia was a city of fear. People regularly broke into his house, and his car was stolen. "There was violence and hate and filth," he said. He took a job as an engraver, and his thoughts turned dark.

From 1967 to 1970, Lynch began making his first short films, including "Six Men Getting Sick," and "The Alphabet." The former was to be projected on a specially sculpted screen that Lynch made himself, with six human figures emerging from the wall. At about the same time,...

Palisades Charter High School, which boasts a lineup of A-List alumni and has been the locale of several TV and film projects, has been significantly damaged by the Palisades Fire that sprung up Jan. 7 and has ballooned to over 23,000 acres since.

In a statement posted by the school to Facebook, many places on the sprawling campus were not visibly damaged by the blaze, including most classroom buildings and gyms, as well as the baseball field, stadium, aquatic center and lush quad. However, a “significant portion,” estimated at 40% has been either “damaged or destroyed.”

The famed campus has been home to such sets as 1976’s Stephen King adaptation Carrie, with Sissy Spacek, as well as the Lindsay Lohan body-swap comedy Freaky Friday, which filmed all of its classroom scenes at the school. More recently, MTV’s Teen Wolf, the 2010s supernatural YA series starring Dylan O’Brien and Tyler Posey, shot its...

When it comes to the genre of Horror as a whole, there tend to be several common characteristics from movie to movie. It's a safe bet to assume there will be suspense, jump scares, or over-the-top gore. However, regardless of any differences in plot, it is virtually guaranteed that one of the characters will make a string of poor decisions. The beloved Scary Movie films, which will gain another title in 2026 with Scary Movie 6, managed to build an entire franchise around this idea.

As frustrating as these stupid choices are, some don't hold a candle to others. In certain instances, a simple action could've completely changed the trajectory of the story and nullified the threat. These examples are typically present in films where the villain gains their power from some sort of summoning or ritual, or the ire of the villain could have been avoided through common decency. There...

Meryl Streep is the best of the best.

Her performance in Sophie’s Choice (1982) has been voted the greatest Oscar Best Actress winner ever, according to a Gold Derby ballot cast by 21 of our film experts, critics, and editors, who ranked all 97 movie champs.

Diane Keaton ranked second for Annie Hall (1977), with Jodie Foster following in third for The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Liza Minnelli for Cabaret (1972) and Vivien Leigh for A Streetcar Named Desire (1951) rounded out the top five.

At the bottom of the list of the Best Actress winners is Mary Pickford for Coquette (1929). Just above that film in the rankings are Luise Rainer for The Great Ziegfeld (1936), Helen Hayes for The Sin of Madelon Claudet (1932), Loretta Young for The Farmer’s Daughter (1947), and Marie Dressler for Min and Bill (1931).

Viola Davis has built a career on unforgettable performances that elevate every movie she’s in. The Oscar-winner has an incredible ability to take complex stories and make them richer through her presence, transforming supporting parts into the most memorable moments of the film. Her portrayals are a masterclass in nuance, as Davis creates layered characters that become the emotional core of a story. From the shocking ending of Fences to the intense action in The Woman King, it comes as no surprise that Davis’ best movies are defined by her ability to elevate every moment she appears on the screen.

Even in roles where she isn’t the lead, Davis has a knack for stealing the spotlight, leaving a lasting mark on the audience. The star’s commitment to authenticity makes sure that her movies resonate on a deeper level, proving time and again that she is one of the finest talents in Hollywood.

The 1991 political thriller JFK is one of the most ambitious films made by writer-director Oliver Stone. With a cast list that includes Kevin Costner, Sissy Spacek, Gary Oldman, and Vincent D’Onofio, the movie is jam-packed with so many stars that it would be easy to blink and miss one. One of those cast members is the late Donald Sutherland. Sutherland was famous for his film roles in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Pride and Prejudice, and The Hunger Games film franchise.

JFK tells the story of Da Jim Garrison’s (Costner) investigation into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. While based on historical events, JFK is rife with conspiracy theories and fictional accounts, making it a hotbed of criticism despite the film winning great acclaim. Though most of the plot is fictional, the movie’s characters are based on real people who were involved in the Kennedy assassination and investigations,...

In the last 50 years, there have been countless excellent adaptations based on Stephen King's stories. In many cases, the movies and TV shows paid tribute to the ingenuity of the King of Horror, proving themselves as brilliant, emotionally charged, and twisted as their sources. A feature that contributed to the success of these adaptations, in several instances, has been the performances of the actors.

Stephen King provides an exceptional foundation with his well-crafted and fascinating characters, but once a story unfolds on the big or small screen, the actors are the ones who bring those same characters to life. Their performances determine whether the tension, fear, and humanity in the author's books resonate with the audience. Some of these portrayals have captured the core of his work so profoundly that they cemented their place in cinematic and television history.

Nicole Kidman is one of the most well-known and celebrated actors today, so it is unsurprising that she has been nominated for numerous awards. Born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1967 and raised in Australia, Nicole Kidman became interested in acting from a young age, and she eventually dropped out of high school to pursue acting full-time. After appearing in several Australian films and television shows, she began to rise in popularity with films like Days of Thunder and Far and Away and became a household name by the mid-1990s.

Today, she is considered one of the best actors of the 21st century and has her own production company. Likewise, with the December 25th release of her new thriller Babygirl, Kidman is back in the spotlight. From the film's premiere at the Venice International Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival, Babygirl has already received impressive reviews, currently holding an 82% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Let’s face it. Theatre has been the most successful place for stories about popular musicians. Alicia Keys’ “Hell’s Kitchen” is selling big on Broadway, as is “Mj.” “A Beautiful Noise,” about Neil Diamond ‘s professional and personal history, had a nice run there, and is touring the country after its run in Los Angeles. We’ve had “Tina,” “Jersey Boys,” The Temptations’ “Ain’t Too Proud,” Carole King’s “Beautiful” and others. A new musical is being tested now about Frank Sinatra. But the most exciting news arrives this spring, when recent Tony winner Jonathan Groff portrays Bobby Darin.

But movies about musical stars? A mixed bag. (including Kevin Spacey in a bad one about Bobby Darin) Documentaries have been the safest form to chronicle the life of famous musicians: Ones about David Crosby, Joan Baez, Springsteen, and Linda Ronstadt. And, of course, “Woodstock” and Martin Scorsese’s “Last Waltz.

Hulu is definitely one of the most underrated streaming services out there as it is one of the biggest streaming services in the world but it doesn’t have as much flashy content as its other counterparts like Netflix or Prime Video.

So, here are the best horror shows you should check out right now.

Grotesquerie is a crime thriller horror drama series created by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken.

Sissy Spacek has been one of America’s top actresses for almost 50 years. Throughout her career she has received six Oscar nominations for Best Actress, seven Golden Globe bids and three Emmy nominations. The New York Film Critics Circle has been so enamored of her work that they have recognized her four times, placing her second behind only Meryl Streep as the organization’s most acclaimed actresses.

Stephen King‘s first novel “Carrie” first brought Spacek international stardom after she initially gained attention in the movie “Badlands.” Spacek has told the story of how she volunteered to do “Carrie” for director Brian De Palma as a favor. Spacek was in demand after her reception in “Badlands,” but after De Palma hired Spacek’s boyfriend and future husband Jack Fisk as the art director for “Carrie,” Spacek read the script, liked it and offered De Palma her services.

In Marc Forster's 2001 drama "Monster's Ball," Halle Berry plays Leticia Musgrove, a woman at the end of her rope. Her husband has been convicted of murder and is executed by the state of Georgia early in the film. Leticia is trying to put her life back together when her son Tyrell (Coronji Calhoun) is hit by a car and dies. Leticia can only find comfort in the arms of a gruff prison warden named Hank (Billy Bob Thornton), whose own son (Heath Ledger) recently died by suicide. What Leticia doesn't know, however, is that Hank oversaw her husband's execution. It's all very complicated, but handled tactfully and with the utmost sensitivity. "Monster's Ball" is a pretty great film.

Berry won the Oscar for Best Actress for playing Leticia at the 2002 Academy Awards ceremony, beating out Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Sissy Spacek, and Renée Zellweger. Her victory was well-deserved.

2024 was a big year for Stephen King, with new books, big plans announced for 2025, anniversaries, more adaptations of his works, and a lot more. The King of Horror has been terrorizing generations of readers for decades, with over sixty books and hundreds of short stories, either exploring fears in supernatural ways or in more grounded, realistic ways. King’s reign in the world of horror started in 1974 with the publishing of Carrie, though it wasn’t the first novel he wrote – that honor belongs to The Long Walk, published until 1979.

Since Carrie, King has been unstoppable and consistently publishing novels and collections with short stories, of which many have been adapted to TV and film, sometimes more than once. 2024 was no exception, and fans of the King of Horror were treated to not only new short stories and novels by King but also big news about some of the many upcoming adaptations of his works.

While Hollywood often rewards charm, good looks, and box-office hits, Tom Cruise’s enduring love from his fans goes beyond the glossy exterior. One of the most defining moments in his career was his bold stance against Harvey Weinstein.

When Todd Field, the director behind Little Children and Tár, found his debut film In the Bedroom at the mercy of Weinstein’s notorious habit of helping filmmakers by hacking up their creations, it was Cruise’s intervention that saved the day. Filmmakers had long feared Weinstein’s heavy hand in editing—changing films so drastically that their original soul often disappeared in the process.

But Cruise didn’t just stand idly by. In fact, his advice was the lifeline that Field and his team needed.

Most readers who enjoy the fantasy genre started consuming speculative fiction in childhood, and it's because of the books read during this period that they maintain a love for these stories. It's likely that the best fantasy books young readers pick up in their youth will hold up well in adulthood because they have universal themes and complex narratives that remain relevant no matter the audience's age.

Grab your eggnog and head under the mistletoe for a holiday kiss.

I’m a romantic at heart, and holiday romantic comedies are one of my favorite genres. I write them (with my wife), I watch them, and I love talking about them. From twinkling city lights to perfect snow falls, to the big kiss right before the credits roll, a great holiday rom-com captures the spirit of the season in a way no other genre can. So it begs the question: what’s the best streamer out there for watching Christmas rom-coms? Let me save you a (eggnog-induced) headache and tell you.

The Oscars have found in a new home in France.

Disney+ has picked up exclusive broadcast rights for the 97th Academy Awards, and will offer French subscribers access to the red carpet and the ceremony live from the Dolby Theater on March 2.

Up until this year, French pay-tv service Canal+ held the exclusive license, often organizing marathon late night broadcasts that accented French talent and ran into the early hours of the morning.

Indeed, local interest has significantly expanded in recent years, once Gallic sons like “The Father” director Florian Zeller stepped into the limelight and as French-remakes like “Coda” bounded towards the best picture podium. Zeller even accepted his Academy Award for best adapted screenplay from the Canal+ broadcast studio in Paris.

If anything, that public interest reached a fever pitch once Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” scored across the board nominations and even a win best original screenplay earlier this year,...

From its Southwestern skyscraper surfaces to its bush- and junk car-pocked bedrock, there’s something slightly off-kilter about the America of Wim Wenders’s Paris, Texas. The solidly masculine cast is nothing if not indigenous: For one, when the sun-punched Travis Henderson, played by Harry Dean Stanton, first stumbles into frame, his uncultivated, hirsute face and dusty red cap seem like natural geological formations that have been patiently waiting, cragged and craterous, for us to anticlimactically discover them. And the relationship-oriented, plot-shunning dialogue by multihyphenate creative Sam Shepherd taps into dialectal heartbrokenness without a shred of disassociating local lingo.

But there are tellingly alien factors out there. How did Travis and his brother Walt (Dean Stockwell) wind up with women who drip sophisticated European sex appeal from their ripe lips and honey hair? And why does every truck stop along highway 10 emit the same sickly green aura that glows like a clumsy,...

We Need To Talk About Kevin director Lynne Ramsay is reportedly about to embark on another film: revenge thriller Stone Mattress.

With films like We Need To Talk About Kevin and You Were Never Really Here on her impressive resume, there’s no doubt that Lynne Ramsay is a celebrated film director. Given her penchant for making short films too, Ramsay has never been what you’d call a prolific director of features: her last film was 2017’s You Were Never Really Here, and before that, 2011’s We Need To Talk About Kevin. According to a new report, though, Ramsay’s next project may be her second to go before cameras in a single calendar year.

Ramsay has already finished up production on Die, My Love, a film ‘about a woman driven to the brink of insanity by marriage and motherhood.’ Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson, Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek all star.

Halle Berry famously won an Oscar for Best Actress thanks to her starring role in Monster’s Ball. However, she felt the odds were significantly stacked against her that year. So much so that she’d already accepted that she’d end up losing the Oscar to her competition.

Winning an Oscar was both a historic and shocking moment for the X-Men star. She became the first Black woman to score the prize, an accolade she was almost certain she wouldn’t walk away with. At the time, Berry conceded that the odds of winning were in actor Sissy Spacek’s favor. The veteran star won the Golden Globe for Best Actress for the 2001 film In the Bedroom. As Berry pointed out, being a Golden Globe winner was often a prelude to winning the Oscar.

Warning: The Article Contains Spoilers for The SubstanceThe first feature adaptation of Stephen King's work is of his debut novel, Carrie. The original film, starring Sissy Spacek as the titular teen, is about a young woman and outcast coming into her womanhood while also mastering her psychic abilities. While this is a drastically different premise from the plot of The Substance, both films do explore the societal pressures women are subject to, especially when it comes to beauty and acceptance.

The thematic ties between Carrie and The Substance makes the visual reference to the Stephen King film in Coralie Fargeat's movie stronger. The Substance is chock-full of cinematic references, including a handful to multiple Stephen King adaptations. The prominent Carrie reference is at the climax of The Substance, mirroring the climax of this Stephen King adaptation, which will receive a television adaptation soon.

You don’t need to be a Bob Dylan aficionado to appreciate Timothée Chalamet’s transformation into the iconic folk singer. Even if your knowledge of Dylan’s career is limited to a few famous tracks or a vague recollection of his controversial shift to electric guitar, Chalamet’s performance in “A Complete Unknown” is undeniably a career best. He’s emerging as a leading contender for his first Academy Award — a compelling performance that may prove difficult for voters to ignore.

On Wednesday night in Los Angeles, Searchlight Pictures hosted two packed screenings of “A Complete Unknown” at the Fox Lot, followed by Q&a sessions featuring director and co-writer James Mangold, actors Monica Barbaro and Elle Fanning, costume designer Arianne Phillips, and production designer François Audouy. Chalamet, currently filming Josh Safdie’s new period project “Marty Supreme,” was notably absent, but his presence wasn’t needed to dominate the conversation.

BayView Entertainment LLC is excited to announce that it has entered into a Distribution Agreement with Film Masters to bring restorations of film classics to the masses via streaming video platforms.

The agreement with Film Masters heralds BayView’s further commitment to classic film restorations.

Long Live Film!, Peter Flynn’s documentary about film collecting as preservation, has been a big success on the film festival circuit, and will soon be broadcast on Turner Classic Movies.

Having previously founded the preservation/restoration-minded The Film Detective, producer-archivist Phil Hopkins started Film Masters as a natural offshoot, with a focus on giving niche cinema first-class attention. “We are archivists, committed to storing film elements for future generations and reviving films that have been sitting dormant for decades.

In recent months, we’ve learned that Silver Linings Playbook Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, The Batman star Robert Pattinson, and The Book of Clarence‘s Lakeith Stanfield have the lead roles in the thriller Die, My Love, which is coming our way from We Need to Talk About Kevin and You Were Never Really Here director Lynne Ramsay. Now, Deadline and World of Reel have unveiled the first images from the film, and they give us a look at the characters played by Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. One of the images can be seen above, and the other two can be found at the bottom of this article.

Scripted by Ramsay and Enda Walsh, Die, My Love is said to be “set in a remote forgotten rural area,” with the story centering on a mother who struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis. The story is...

Robert Pattinson has come quite far since his role in the Twilight movies, which, to be fair, was one of his worst acting jobs. Throughout the four films, Pattinson’s performance progressively worsened. However, he did not have much to go on with the vampire character. Pattinson proved to be a performer in films like The Childhood of a Leader, Good Time, and The Lighthouse.

Robert Pattinson will play Mickey Barnes in Mickey 17 | Credits: Warner Bros. Pictures

Pattinson was not a fan-favorite when he was cast in the role of Batman. However, he surprised fans with his darker take on the character, something Matt Reeves also got credit for. The film has now set a major benchmark that James Gunn will have to surpass with his Dcu film, The Brave and the Bold. However, Pattinson’s upcoming projects seem to have more promise than his role as the Dark Knight.

Lynne Ramsay, an award-winning director, is making a strong return to feature filmmaking with “Die, My Love. ” It is a psychological thriller that examines the tough sides of marriage, motherhood, and mental health.

Jennifer Lawrence plays a new mother who is dealing with bipolar disorder and postpartum depression, and she’s the star of the show. The movie, based on Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 book of the same name, moves the story from a French village to the vast Montana farmland, giving it a very American feel.

The movie has an impressive ensemble cast and is produced by the famous director Martin Scorsese. Lakeith Stanfield plays Lawrence’s boyfriend, and Robert Pattinson plays her husband. Nick Nolte and Sissy Spacek, both of whom won Oscars, round out the supporting group.

Ramsay, known for telling honest stories in movies like “We Need to Talk About Kevin,” brings her usual passion to the job.

Jennifer Lawrence's new movie with Robert Pattinson, Die, My Love, has been revealed in three first-look images. Directed by Lynne Ramsay, who co-wrote the script with Enda Walsh based on the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz, the upcoming film follows the psychological unraveling of a woman living in rural America who becomes overwhelmed by the demands of marriage and motherhood. The movie stars Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson in lead roles alongside Lakeith Stanfield, Oscar winner Sissy Spacek, and three-time Oscar nominee Nick Nolte.

Now, three first-look images from Die, My Love featuring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson have been revealed via The Film Stage. The first image shows a close-up of Lawrence's character drinking from a glass, followed by a second of her at a party with confetti falling around her. The third image shows Lawrence and Pattinson's characters, who are husband and wife, dancing in their farmhouse on the Montana countryside.

Up next from director Lynne Ramsay is the psychological thriller Die, My Love, and Deadline has shared the first look at star Jennifer Lawrence in the film.

Die, My Love adapts the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz; Ramsay co-wrote the script with Enda Walsh.

The rural American tale is “set in a remote, forgotten rural area; the story follows a mother who struggles to maintain her sanity as she battles with psychosis.” It’s said to be “a portrait of a woman (Lawrence) engulfed by love and madness.“

Robert Pattinson plays her husband, and Lakeith Stanfield portrays her lover. Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte also star in the psychological thriller.

The book’s synopsis also gives a clearer picture of the emotional intensity. In the novel, “In a forgotten patch of French countryside, a woman is battling her demons embracing exclusion yet wanting to belong, craving freedom whilst feeling trapped, yearning...

Jennifer Lawrence returns to her darker roots for “Die, My Love,” Lynne Ramsay’s first film in seven years. Check out a first-look image above.

The thriller is based on Ariana Harwicz’s 2017 novel, which centers on a woman (Lawrence) ravaged at the crossroads between love and madness.

Robert Pattinson plays Lawrence’s onscreen husband, with Lakeith Stanfield cast as her lover. Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte also co-star.

Ramsay returns to directing for her first feature since 2017’s “You Were Never Really Here.” Ramsay previously teased “Die, My Love” during the 2023 Sarajevo Film Festival, emphasizing the movie’s divergences from the novel. In contrast, the book was about a woman in a secluded French village who grapples with extreme mental health problems after giving birth. Ramsay has taken liberties with source material before, with “You Were Never Really Here” adapted from a Jonathan Ames novella and “We Need to Talk About Kevin...

Exclusive: Deadline has the first still from Die, My Love, starring Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson and Lakeith Stanfield, the new thriller from renowned Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay (You Were Never Really Here), which adapts the 2017 novel by Ariana Harwicz.

Set in rural America, Die, My Love is a portrait of a woman (Lawrence) engulfed by love and madness. Pattinson plays her husband, and Stanfield, her lover. Also in the cast are Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte.

Ramsay directed from her script written with Enda Walsh. Producers included Justine Ciarrocchi and Lawrence on behalf of Excellent Cadaver, as well as Martin Scorsese, Andrea Calderwood, and Black Label Media, which also served as the project’s financier.

In a statement accompanying the photo reveal, Excellent Cadaver told Deadline, “It’s impossible to convey what it’s like to witness Lynne Ramsay make art. She’s one of one.”

Carrie is an iconic character from the incredible mind of Stephen King, who has already had multiple live-action adaptations, but with Mike Flanagan now taking the reins for a new adapted TV series, the casting of Carrie needs to be perfect. Fortunately, Mike Flanagan has been honing his talents as a director for the last 25 years, and his success has led him to work with a variety of talented actresses who could tackle the role. However, there is a lot to consider in order to get the perfect Carrie.

In the novel by Stephen King, Carrie is described as being a "frog among swans." Obviously, this can be interpreted in various ways, but the book goes on to describe the character as a young white girl who often has many pimples and spots. She is also written to have blonde hair which verges on being completely white, and deep dark brown eyes.

Mike Flanagan is renowned for his horror TV shows and is once again teaming up with Stephen King for an adaptation of Carrie.

Carrie was Stephen King’s first published book and nearly didn’t happen. However, after he threw it into the garbage, his lovely wife, Tabitha King, rescued it and encouraged him to publish the terrifying book. Of course, there have been many more King books published, and while may be in the past, horror maestro Mike Flanagan is returning to Stephen King’s world to adapt Carrie as a series on the small screen.

Mike Flanagan to adapt Stephen King’s Carrie as an Amazon TV series

Admittedly, Stephen King fans will feel a little trepidation over the adaptation of the author’s popular book, as many have not done his work justice.

Some very exciting news for horror fans this evening, as Mike Flanagan is re-teaming with Stephen King for a new small-screen adaptation of the legendary's author's first novel, Carrie.

Deadline reports that the pair - who recently collaborated on the upcoming The Life of Chuck - are developing the supernatural coming-of-rage tale as an eight-episode series for Amazon, with Flanagan on board as showrunner and exec producer.

Brian De Palma's 1976 take on the book is widely viewed as one of the better King adaptations, with Sissy Spacek delivering a terrifying and tragic turn as the title character, who begins to manifest destructive telekinetic abilities after being relentlessly bullied by her classmates and tormented by her domineering religious fanatic mother. John Travolta, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, Nancy Allen, Betty Buckley and William Katt also starred.

The movie's climactic bloodbath is often hailed as one of the most iconic scenes in cinema history.

It's hard to be down in the dumps when the start of the work week brings the news that horror maestro and Stephen King aficionado Mike Flanagan has been tapped to adapt the King's monumental first novel, "Carrie," as a TV series. Flanagan has consistently knocked it out of the park with his adaptations of King's work, like turning the seemingly unadaptable "Gerald's Game" into one of the best King movies ever made and doing the impossible with "Doctor Sleep" by bridging King's novel with the imagery of Stanley Kubrick's take on "The Shining." As of publication, Flanagan is set to release "The Life of Chuck" in 2025 after a successful premiere out of the Toronto International Film Festival, and is working to crack the script for his take on "The Dark Tower."

Filmmaker Mike Flanagan is reteaming with Stephen King to adapt Carrie into an eight-part television series for Amazon Prime.

Director Mike Flanagan has adapted several works by Stephen King over his career to date, and now he’s at it again. According to Deadline, Mike Flanagan is teaming up with King once again to adapt his classic novel Carrie as an eight part television series for Amazon Prime.

Carrie, the story of a lonely, abused, bullied girl who acquires telekinetic powers, was previously adapted into a film in 1976 by Brian De Palma, with Sissy Spacek taking on the title role alongside Piper Laurie as her mother. The Rage: Carrie 2, which was an original screenplay called The Curse that was hurriedly rewritten into a Carrie sequel, was released in 1999 to critical and commercial failure. A remake arrived in 2013, starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore.

Horror maestro Mike Flanagan is going back to the Stephen King well for his next TV project. The “Life of Chuck” director is developing a series adaptation of “Carrie” for Prime Video, Deadline reports. Flanagan will serve as showrunner of the eight-episode horror series, which is assembling a writers’ room now.

“Carrie,” originally released in 1974, was King’s first published novel. Director Brian De Palma adapted it into a classic film in 1976, which became the first of dozens of adaptations of King’s books. The film stars Sissy Spacek as the title character, an abused teenager with telekinetic powers, and Piper Laurie as her cruel mother, both of whom received Academy Award nominations for their performances. It got a poorly received sequel in 1999, “The Rage: Carrie 2.” “Carrie” also got a TV movie adaptation in 2002 and another film adaptation in 2013. Previously, there was a “Carrie” limited series adaptation in the...

When Mike Flanagan and Stephen King join forces, it’s game over for their competitors in the horror film universe.

The 46-year-old filmmaker has already produced a few critically acclaimed series like The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. The word on the street is that Flanagan’s next series will feature a classic Stephen King story that has already seen box office success, twice!

King’s literary debut is half a century old, and it’s been adapted multiple times already.

The most famous version, of course, is the 1976 Brian DePalma film starring Sissy Spacek, Piper Laurie, and John Travolta.

An ill-conceived sequel hit theaters in 1999, followed by two remakes (2002 and 2013) that also failed to make much of a splash.

Carrie is becoming a TV series.

Director Mike Flanagan and Stephen King are collaborating on an 8-episode series for Amazon, according to Deadline.

Brian De Palma was the first to adapt the novel about a young sheltered girl with a domineering mother whose bullying caused carnage with her hidden hyperkinetic powers. Sissy Spacek played the title character. The movie was followed by 2002′s The Rage: Carrie 2, and a 2013 remake that starred Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore.

Mike Flanagan is developing a television series adaptation of Carrie. Flanagan has adapted many of Stephen King's past works, including Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep, The Life of Chuck, and is currently developing a Dark Tower series adaptation. Carrie is King's first published novel and has received multiple film adaptations in the past, with the most famous being the 1976 version starring Sissy Spacek in the titular role and with John Travolta as Billy Nolan.

According to Deadline, Flanagan's Carrie adaptation will be an eight-episode series made for Amazon. Flanagan and his frequent collaborator, Trevor Macy, will be executive producers on the series, with Macy having worked as a producer on Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep, and The Life of Chuck. A writer's room is already being opened for the Carrie series as development continues to swiftly move forward on Flanagan's newest project.

What This Means For Carrie The Series Already Looks...

One of horror's most famous and influential stories is receiving its most significant adaptation in years, and we couldn't possibly think of anyone more suited for the task. Mike Flanagan has made a career out of taking prolific author Stephen King's written words and spinning them into live-action gold, from 2017's "Gerald's Game" all the way to his well-received prequel to "The Shining" with "Doctor Sleep" in 2019. Along the way, Flanagan has also built himself a veritable television empire, debuting multiple spine-tingling limited series for Netflix in the span of just a few years. This latest news brings together the best of both worlds, as Deadline reports that Flanagan is setting his sights on a series adaptation of "Carrie" -- the very first (and arguably most daunting) of all of King's works.

According to the report, Flanagan will be spearheading an 8-episode series for Prime Video that will attempt...

Mike Flanagan has his sights set on another classic piece of IP: “Carrie.”

The “Doctor Sleep” and “Exorcist” filmmaker is adapting Stephen King’s novel for an eight-episode series at Prime Video, IndieWire has confirmed. King’s “Carrie” was first brought to the screen by Brian De Palma in 1976. There was a sequel film, “The Rage: Carrie 2” (1999), and a 2013 remake of the original “Carrie” starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore.

“Carrie” centers on a teenager who has a sheltered life in part due to her controlling mother. Yet the titular Carrie soon realizes that the torment she has endured both at home and at school with her bullying peers has heightened her hyperkinetic powers, and a revenge plan is brewed….

The official logline for the series teased that the show will be a “bold and timely reimagining of the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White, who has spent...

Mike Flanagan has lined up his next project at Prime Video: The Haunting of Hill House writer/director is developing a TV adaptation of Stephen King’s 1974 novel “Carrie,” TVLine has confirmed.

Flanagan’s version is said to be “a bold and timely reimagining of the story of misfit high-schooler Carrie White, who has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother,” according to its official description. “After her father’s sudden and untimely death, Carrie finds herself contending with the alien landscape of public high school, a bullying scandal that shatters her community, and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers.

Stephen King’s Carrie is getting another adaptation — this time in series form.

Amazon MGM Studios is developing a drama based on King’s 1974 novel, which has been the basis for four previous feature films. Mike Flanagan (Netflix’s The Haunting anthology, Doctor Sleep) is adapting the book and will serve as showrunner, executive producing with Trevor Macy of Intrepid Pictures. (Flanagan and Intrepid have overall deals at Amazon MGM Studios.)

Should it go forward, Carrie would stream on Amazon’s Prime Video.

Flanagan has adapted several of King’s works in the past, most recently The Life of Chuck, which won the Audience Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. He also wrote the screenplays for The Shining sequel Doctor Sleep and Gerald’s Game (the latter with Jeff Howard). He and Macy also have rights to King’s Dark Tower novels.

Amazon MGM Studios describes the project as a...
