It seems Mike Flanagan it may have found his own CarrieAnd it is a choice that will be enthusiastic about horror fans.
According to the insider Daniel Richtman, Hereditary star Milly Shapiro It is in negotiations to take on the main role in the next Flanagan streaming adaptation Carrie, Stephen King ‘S classic novel.
Shapiro, known for his disturbing and unforgettable performance in the role of Charlie Graham in the director Ari Aster ‘Sort HereditarySo he has some experience with dark and emotionally intense material.
It could also be united by Samantha Sloyan (Silence, Midnight mass), which according to what was reported was watched to interpret Margaret White, the fanatically religious mother of Carrie and deeply unbridled. Another great choice of casting!
The project was announced for the first time last October and brings together Flanagan with King after their recent collaboration on Chuck’s life. Flanagan is destined to serve as a showrunner and executive producer for the eight -episode limited series, which is being developed for Amazon.
If you are wondering how this new interpretation will accumulate Brian De Palma’s 1976 Classic, there are many reasons to be cautiously optimistic. That version, led by Sissy Spacek like the fragile, telecinetic teenage and Piper Laurie Like his terrifying mother, he has long been retained as one of the best adaptations of the king out there.
The scene of the climatic dance of the story is easily one of the most iconic of literature and horror films.
This story has already been adapted a few times and when he has been asked in a previous interview, Flanagan explained why he wanted to tell this story again, Flanagan said:
“One of the only questions I had when he was put on the table was” why? “, What if I couldn’t answer” why do you do it again? “As for myself, it makes no sense to pursue the project.
“I will say that it is the same feeling that I had when we approached the shift of the vine, which had been adapted to dozens of times. And it is like” Okay, how is it completely different let’s do? “
When asked about what Stephen King thought that the story was told of again Flanagan said: “His first question was mine too. … Steve’s first reaction was:” Why do it again? “”
He continued: “I can’t ruin our approach to Carrie just to reassure the people we are not replying the same story. It is certainly a new approach to the material, and one of which Stephen King is enthusiastic about what is also important for me.”
When he talked about how he gained that enthusiasm from King, he said that if he didn’t get excited, he wouldn’t have done it.
“It has been done and was done magnificently, probably perfectly by De Palma and then made again for” reasons “., Why do you do it again now?
“And so when he examined the proposal I put together for this, his reaction was, Oh, this is actually very exciting for him. And then I said:” Okay, if it is excited, then we should do it. “But otherwise I wouldn’t have done it.
I assume that this will be a contemporary vision of history and when you make fun of her initial idea for the project, Flanagan added:
“Carrie White walking through a metal detector is interesting for me. Carrie White with social media. The iconic scene in the changing rooms is very different when people have phones in their hand.
“So this was the first germ of an idea, as, there is room to have a lot to say that it is very relevant. And I cannot ruin the changes we made to find a story that seemed to be told. But we made some rather substantial changes.”
