Mike Flanagan and Intrepid Pictures are developing a film adaptation of Christopher Pike’s science-fiction/horror novel “The Season of Passage”….
Over the past few years, Mike Flanagan has become one of the most popular directors in horror and he’s sticking to his favorite genre for a new project being developed by his company Intrepid Pictures.
Flanagan, who is best known as the creator behind the popular Netflix series “The Haunting of Hill House” and “The Haunting of Bly Manor” as well as the director for “The Shining” sequel “Doctor Sleep,” will direct the upcoming adaptation while also co-writing the screenplay with James Flanagan.
“The Season of Passage” from author Christopher Pike was first released in 1993 and has become a sci-fi/horror classic since first hitting bookshelves. Here’s a synopsis of the story:
“Dr. Lauren Wagner was a celebrity. She was involved with the most exciting adventure mankind had ever undertaken: a manned expedition to Mars. The whole world admired and respected her. But Lauren knew fear. Inside―voices entreating her to love them. Outside―the mystery of the missing group that had gone before her. The dead group.
But were they simply dead? Or something else?”
This is just the latest book from Pike that has caught Flanagan’s attention after he developed the author’s novel “The Midnight Club” for an upcoming series headed to Netflix.
