EXCLUSIVE: Oculus and Somnia director Mike Flanagan has http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/gerald__140518131440.jpgcommitted to next helm Gerald’s Game, based on the bestselling novel by Stephen King. Flanagan wrote the script with his writing partner Jeff Howard. Trevor Macy and his Intrepid Pictures banner will produce, as he also did on Flanagan’s two horror films.
Flanagan and Macy originaly intended the next picture to be Diver, a film that would have started production this summer. They’ve pushed that picture back and instead will plunge full on into Gerald’s Game, which is casting for a fall start and will be selling here at Cannes. King is very hands on and particular about filmmakers he trusts with rights to his novels. He takes option fees as low as $1, and when you are lucky enough to get one, you try to move fast.
http://www-deadline-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/flan__140518131621.jpgGerald’s Game revolves around a seemingly harmless contest between a married couple in a remote retreat. It escalates to become a harrowing fight for survival, wife Jessie must confront long-buried demons within her own mind — and possibly lurking in the shadows of her seemingly empty house.
“In the tradition of Misery and Dolores Claiborne, Gerald’s Game is one of the most intense and compelling novels I’ve ever read, and this has been a dream project for many years. Trevor and I are very excited to help translate that experience for an audience,” said Flanagan, who’ll push Diver back to 2015. Flanagan and Howard are repped by APA and Nelson Davis Wetzstein. Paradigm represents King, Macy, Intrepid and film sales for Gerald’s Game.

[Rocketman]

Oh man, this is genuinely my favorite King novel, and it's THE one I've always wanted to see as a movie. The psychological aspect of the premise is so intriguing and somewhat abstract, I can understand why it's taken so long -- It's also not a Horror story in the traditional sense - definitely a psychological drama/thriller, like Gone Girl or Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. This is like a dream come true.

As I understand the history, critics were blasting King in the late 80's for not being able to represent strong female characters, or female characters who were interesting in general as primary protagonists, and as a response to that, King did this epic triple-whammy of Gerald's Game, Dolores Claiborne, and Rose Madder, and later continued the streak with The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon and Lisey's Story.

^ Aside from The Green Mile and Bag of Bones, I think this era was King at his most creative and most literary. He definitely evolved from the "Firestarter/Cujo/Salem's Lot Guy" to a legitimate name in literature.

Mike Flanagan is also the PERFECT director for this film (and he wrote it!) judging by his work on Absentia and Oculus - two of my favorite Horror movies in recent years, specifically because of the level of emotion and drama involved in the stories -- absolutely perfect for what Gerald's Game needs.

It’s been a while since we heard anything about an Gerald’s Game adaptation (back in 2014 to be more exact) but Mike Flanagan is still determine to make it happen. Rue Morgue recently spoke to Mike…

With OUIJA: ORIGIN OF EVIL ready for its October release, director Mike Flanagan is confident that his long-mooted adaptation of Stephen King’s novel GERALD’S GAME will get off the ground next. And he’s committed to doing right by the book—about a woman left handcuffed to a bed in a remote cabin after a sex romp with her husband goes awry—knowing that the track record of King movies has been the definition of uneven.

Gerald’s Game to Star Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood

Gerald's GameBruce Greenwood Carla Gugino Movie News Netflix Stephen King streaming

Gerald’s Game to star Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood

Netflix announced today that Carla Gugino (The Space Between Us, San Andreas, Watchmen) and Bruce Greenwood (Star Trek Into Darkness, Star Trek) will star as Jessie and Gerald in Mike Flanagan’s (Universal’s upcoming Ouija: Origin of Evil, Hush, Oculus) Gerald’s Game for Intrepid Pictures.

Flanagan adapted the script with Jeff Howard (Oculus, I Know What You Did Last Summer). The film is based on Stephen King’s 1992 suspense novel of the same name. Intrepid Pictures’ Trevor Macy will produce the thriller; which Netflix will distribute exclusively worldwide.


Henry Thomas (Ouija: Origin of Evil, Gangs of New York), Carel Struycken (Men in Black), Kate Siegel (Hush, Ouija: Origin of Evil, Oculus), Chiara Aurelia (“Agent Carter,” Big Sky, “Pretty Little Liars&#8221 will round out the cast, with principal photography beginning today in and around Mobile, Alabama.
Gerald’s Game follows Gerald and Jessie Burlingame, who have gone to their summer home on a warm weekday in October for a romantic interlude. After being handcuffed to her bedposts, Jessie tires of her husband’s games, until things take an unexpectedly tragic turn. Still handcuffed, she is trapped and alone. Painful memories from her childhood bedevil her. Her only company is a hungry stray dog and the voices that populate her mind. As night comes, she is unsure whether it is her imagination or if she has another companion: someone watching her from the corner of her dark bedroom.
Director Mike Flanagan said: “’Gerald’s Game’ has been my dream project for nearly twenty years. As a lifelong fan of Stephen King, it is a true honor to be trusted with this amazing material. I am deeply grateful to my long-time partner, Trevor Macy, and to my new partners at Netflix, for making this dream project a reality. This is one of the reasons I wanted to make movies in the first place.”
Gerald’s Game marks Macy and Flanagan’s fifth collaboration since 2013, following Oculus and Before I Wake for Relativity, Hush for Netflix, and Ouija: Origin of Evil, which Universal Pictures will release on October 21st. Intrepid Pictures has produced fourteen feature films distributed worldwide by both major and Independent studios including Stacy Title’s The Bye Bye Man which STX Entertainment will release on January 13th.
King is one of the most renowned authors of contemporary horror, supernatural fiction, suspense, science fiction, and fantasy. His books have sold more than 350 million copies, many of which have been adapted into feature films, miniseries, television shows, and comic books.

I've always thought that Carla Gugino was one of the sexiest women out there. Even into middle-age, she brings the heat.

Trevor Macy Talks Gerald's Game

Trevor Macy talks Gerald's Game in this interview.

Is it safe to say that even though it may not be a page-for-page adaptation, that it does keep that same tone from the book that worked so well?

Trevor Macy: It’s a very faithful adaptation in that way, it’s just that there’s a—I don’t mean to be too cryptic, but I don’t want to give it away [laughs]. There’s a storytelling device that we use that the book doesn’t. It’s really nice to get Stephen King’s support in doing that, even at the script stage, so he feels and we feel that it’s a very faithful adaptation.
