DEVELOPMENT HELL presents STEPHEN KING UNSEEN, a 4-part limited audio series unearthing lost, canceled, and troubled adaptations from the Master of Horror.
Part IV: REVIVAL
For the series finale of STEPHEN KING UNSEEN, we take a shocking look at one of the darkest King stories yet to receive an adaptation. REVIVAL was published in 2014, and there have been two major attempts to bring this cruel and mean horror story to the screen. The book concerns two men whose lives have been interconnected over several decades, cultivating with a terrifying and maddening peek into a potentially unforgiving afterlife.
First, Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars) attempted to craft a film version but produced the 2020 CBS All Access miniseries remake of The Stand instead. A few years later, King favorite Mike Flanagan (Gerald's Game, Doctor Sleep) was tapped to write and direct REVIVAL for the big screen. We uncover why neither adaptation has yet to see the light of day and then draw our own conclusions about whether or not this movie will ever get produced.
Podcaster and Constant Reader Rachel Reeves (@thevinylgrrrl) joins us as a cohost for STEPHEN KING UNSEEN.
