\"Mr.<\/img><\/p>\n

The Stephen King<\/strong> adaptation renaissance shows no signs of going away anytime soon. Since King is so prolific and pumps out app<\/a>roximately a bajillion books a year, there will always be material to adapt. Case in point:\u00a0Mr. Harrigan\u2019s Phone<\/em><\/strong>, a short story that appeared in King\u2019s recently published collection\u00a0If It Bleeds<\/em>, is now becoming a Netflix film. Blumhouse and Ryan Murphy<\/strong> are producing the flick for Netflix, with\u00a0Saving Mr. Banks<\/em> filmmaker\u00a0John Lee Hancock<\/strong> attached to write and direct.<\/p>\n

Per THR, Blumhouse and Ryan Murphy will produce\u00a0Mr. Harrigan\u2019s Phone<\/em>, a new Netflix movie from writer-director John Lee Hancock. The film is an adaptation of the Stephen King short story of the same name, featured in King\u2019s recently published collection\u00a0If It Bleeds<\/em>. In the story, a teenager named Craig starts doing odd-jobs for Mr. Harrigan, an elderly, eccentric billionaire who has moved into Craig\u2019s small town.<\/p>\n

The story begins during the release of the first iPhone, and Craig is able to buy one after winning a scratch-off lottery ticket he received from Mr. Harrigan. Craig introduces the old man to the iPhone, and the billionaire is fascinated by the tech, and (correctly) predicts that all the free access to information available on the phone will eventually have consequences. Craig ends up buying Harrigan a phone of his own, which the old man reluctantly accepts and then grows to be obsessed with.<\/p>\n

When Harrigan dies, Craig slips the phone into the dead man\u2019s pocket right before his casket is closed and he\u2019s lowered into the earth. Later, in true Stephen King fashion, Craig finds he\u2019s able to text the dead Harrigan, and the dead man is able to text back. Sort of. But the beyond-the-grave relationship goes beyond simple conversation. Craig discovers he\u2019s able to send Harrigan\u2019s ghost out into the world to seek revenge against those who have wronged him. This all sounds very convoluted, and not particularly original \u2013 the theme of someone calling from beyond the grave is a very, very old story device, and was even used on\u00a0The Twilight Zone<\/em>. But because King is such a good writer, and so skilled at building his characters, the story ends up seeming fresh, and creepy.<\/p>\n

While I have no doubt this material can make for a good film, I\u2019m not entirely sure John Lee Hancock is the person to do it. But maybe Hancock will surprise me and turn out to be skilled at horror. Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum<\/strong> will both produce, with\u00a0Blumhouse Television\u2019s Marci Wiseman and Jeremy Gold executive producing.<\/p>\n
