Mike Flanagan Explains Why Warhammer 40,000 Is a 'Brutally Difficult Adaptation'

Mike Flanagan has discussed the challenges of adapting Warhammer 40,000 into an Amazon TV series, calling it “brutally difficult.”

Flanagan, writer, director and showrunner of a number of much-loved Netflix horror TV shows including The Haunting of Hill House, The Haunting of Bly Manor, and The Fall of the House of Usher, has signed a multi-year deal with Amazon to develop and produce original series for the studio. The first of these is an adaptation of Stephen King’s horror classic, Carrie, which recently hit Prime Video. Next up is a Warhammer 40,000 TV show, which will be part of Henry Cavill’s Warhammer 40,000 Cinematic Universe. The former Superman actor is set to star in the show.

Meanwhile, Flanagan has another project many fans can’t wait for him to get to: The Dark Tower. But this adaptation of Stephen King’s much-loved fantasy saga sounds even further away. Indeed, Flanagan admitted over the summer that he’s having a tough time getting a green light for The Dark Tower, despite the fact it’s relatively straight forward in his head.

Warhammer 40,000, however, is not. Speaking on The Process Unlocked, Flanagan explained why adapting Warhammer 40,000 is so much tougher than The Dark Tower.

“I'll tell you, I feel like I'm climbing my adaptation Everest right now, because I've been working — and this is out there so I can talk just barely a little bit about it — but I've been working on Warhammer,” he began.

Flanagan’s approach to adapting The Dark Tower is, straightforwardly, to adapt King’s books in order.
