Mike Flanagan Vows His 'Mist' Adaptation Won’t Remake Darabont’s 2007 Film

He frames the project as a fresh return to King’s novella with timing still to be set.

Overview

Flanagan said on BlueSky that his film is “not a retread” and that “the differences start page 1.”
He explained he only pursues adaptations when there is an excellent answer to why he should do them.
The director praised Frank Darabont’s movie yet said there is “zero point” in remaking it, signaling a new direction.
Coverage notes initial fan puzzlement over the announcement, which his posts directly addressed.
No release date has been announced, and Flanagan is also working on projects like Carrie and a new The Exorcist film.
