So many new Stephen King adaptations are headed our way that it’s honestly become hard to keep track. In the wake of this weekend’s IT, Mike Flanagan’s Gerald’s Game arrives on Netflix later this month, and it’ll be followed by Netflix’s 1922 on October 20.
The film is an adaptation of Stephen King’s 2010 novella, published in the collection Full Dark, No Stars. Speaking with Yahoo this week, King revealed that he has seen it, and he says that it creeped him out so much he can’t get it off his mind.
“The one you want to watch for is, Netflix did an adaptation of 1922 from Full Dark, No Stars,” King told the site. “I think that’s going to be out in October or something, and man, I saw a rough cut of that and it won’t leave my mind. That is super creepy!”
Thomas Jane (The Punisher, The Mist) and Molly Parker (The 9th Life of Louis Drax, The Road) star in the adaptation with Dylan Schmid, Kaitlyn Bernard, Brian D’Arcy James and Neal McDonough.
“1922 is based on Stephen King’s 131-page storytelling of a man’s confession of his wife’s murder. The tale is told from the perspective of Wilfred James, the story’s unreliable narrator who admits to killing his wife, Arlette, with his son in Nebraska. But after he buries her body, he finds himself terrorized by rats and, as his life begins to unravel, becomes convinced his wife is haunting him.”
1922 was directed by Zak Hilditch (These Final Hours), who also adapted the novella.
