A new haunting story for Mike Flanagan.
No it will not be The Haunting of Mars, third season of the Netflix anthology. But the creator of Hill House and Bly Manor, Mike Flanagan, is actually preparing a new horror film around space and the red planet.
Director wants to adapt macabre sci-fi novel The Season of Passage (1992) signed Christopher Pike. Mike Flanagan will be behind the camera, but also a producer and will co-write the screenplay with his brother, James Flanagan.
The official synopsis tells us about the Dr. Lauren Wagner, who was a celebrity. She was on the most exciting adventure humanity has ever undertaken: a manned expedition to Mars. The whole world admired and respected her. But Lauren knew fear. Inner voices begging her to love them, related to the group that had preceded her on the Red Planet and had mysteriously disappeared. But are they really dead? Or something else? “
On Twitter, Mike Flanagan specifies that this adaptation of The Season of the Passage “ehas been a dream of mine since I was a teenager “, even revealing to have dreamed at the time of the trailer with Sarah McLachlan and her title “Possession“in soundtrack! We’ll see if he decides to keep this idea when the film is shot … We don’t know when, since the filmmaker is currently working on a film version of Stephen King’s novel, Revival (released 2014) for Warner Bros. and it also buckles The Midnight Club, another horror series for Netflix …
“I see you brought the fire…” This project has been a dream of mine since I was a teenager. I’m so excited to be collaborating with my brother James, and my partner in crime @IntrepidPix on this epic horror movie – in space – for @UniversalPics. https://t.co/YEn7iOj5yb
