Adapting the work of Stephen King comes with a lot of pressure. Not only do you have a rabid fan base watching your every move, but you also have to contend with the master of horror himself. With Mike Flanagan tackling the thought to be unfilmmable Gerald’s Game for Netflix, all eyes are on him. Even Kings.

Recently King saw the film and immediately took to Twitter with the following reaction…

“Saw a rough cut of Mike Flanagan’s GERALD’S GAME yesterday. Horrifying, hypnotic, terrific. It’s gonna freak you out.”

Color us extremely excited!

Carel Struycken and Henry Thomas co-star alongside Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood. Gerald’s Game will premiere on Netflix, but no release date is available at this time.

Book Synopsis:
Once again, Jessie Burlingame (Gugino) has been talked into submitting to her husband, Gerald’s, kinky sex games—something that she’s frankly had enough of, and they never held much charm for her to begin with. So much for a “romantic getaway” at their secluded summer home. After Jessie is handcuffed to the bedposts—and Gerald (Bruce Greenwood) crosses a line with his wife—the day ends with deadly consequences. Now Jessie is utterly trapped in an isolated lakeside house that has become her prison—and comes face-to-face with her deepest, darkest fears and memories. Her only company is that of the various voices filling her mind… as well as the shadows of nightfall that may conceal an imagined or very real threat right there with her…
