Highly in-demand writer/director Mike Flanagan (Doctor Sleep, The Haunting of Hill House) has found his next project: a feature adaptation of Christopher Pike's 1992 sci-fi horror novel, The Season of Passage.
Deadline reports that Flanagan will co-write the screenplay with his brother, James Flanagan, and will also produce along with Intrepid Pictures producing partner Trevor Macy.
Plot details for this take on the story are still under wraps, but the book "centers around celebrity Dr. Lauren Wagner who was involved in 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?"
Flanagan took to Twitter to confirm his involvement, revealing that The Season of Passage has been a dream project of his since he was a teenager.
