Stephen King's iconic 1974 horror novel is being adapted for TV with The Haunting of Hill House's Mike Flanagan at the helm
A 'twisted' Stephen King novel is set to grace the small screen half a century after its initial publication, with esteemed horror director Mike Flanagan leading the project.
The classic story revolves around Carrie White, a high school pariah who develops telekinetic abilities and uses her newfound power to exact revenge on her tormentors at school. Readers have previously called the book "utterly and totally a classic" with "highly memorable" characters, as well as hailing the "twisted" storyline.
Following the success of the 1976 film, a sequel titled The Rage: Carrie 2 was released in 1999. A TV film adaptation premiered three years later, followed by a 2013 remake directed by Kimberly Peirce, featuring Chloe Grace Moretz.
