Description
Mike Flanagan explains why he almost didn't make Carrie at all, and the answer that got both him and Stephen King excited about doing it.
He also opens up about the pressure of following the 1970s film and whether Amazon's series could continue.
Anthony Orlando sits down with filmmaker Mike Flanagan, creator of Amazon's new series Carrie. They talk about the pressure of adapting a story that's already been done iconically, how the characters differ from the book and earlier adaptations, and how the series keeps the nonlinear, eyewitness-account structure of Stephen King's original novel. Flanagan reflects on King being his hero, earning his seal of approval across Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep and The Life of Chuck, and whether there's more story to tell after this season.
