Mike Flanagan Scares Up Another One With Stephen King: Turning 'Carrie' Into a TV Series

EXCLUSIVE: After scoring the big deal at the Toronto Film Festival with Neon for Audience Award winner The Life of Chuck, director Mike Flanagan and Stephen King are right back at it. Sissy Spacek played the title character, and John Travolta, Piper Laurie, Amy Irving, Nancy Allen, Betty Buckley and William Katt also starred. A24 has Paul Greegrass and JH Wyman adapting King’s Fairy Tale into a series, after an earlier attempt to mount it as a movie at Universal made them realize there was just too much story to pack into one feature.
