That story culminates in The Dark Tower: The Battle of Jericho Hill, which chronicles the titular battle that destroys the kingdom of Gilead and sparks Roland's quest for the Dark Tower. That initial series was followed up by four more comic book miniseries that continue where the flashback leaves off and explore more of Roland's formative years. Basically an adaptation of the flashback portion of Wizard and Glass, The Gunslinger Born helps visualize a world that previously only existed in prose form and in a handful of painted illustrations.

According to the synopsis, the story will chronicle the life of Charles Krantz in reverse, 'beginning with his death from a brain tumor at age of 39, and ending with his childhood in a supposedly haunted house.' Mike Flanagan’s Dream Stephen King Projectīesides the upcoming movie, Flanagan is also currently working on adapting King’s famous The Dark Tower series into a five-season streaming series, which he has been describing as his 'dream project' for a long time now.

The project has been in development for several months now, with the script already written before the Writers Guild of America began its current strike. The film adaptation will be directed, written, and produced by Flanagan, who previously helmed another one of King’s stories in the form of 2019’s The Shining sequel Doctor Sleep. The Life of Chucky is based on one of the four short stories from King’s 2020 novella If It Bleeds.
