Yes, a loose remake of Stephen King's iconic thriller Misery is reportedly in development. While not a direct, scene-for-scene recreation, an untitled film is said to be taking inspiration from the 1990 classic.
Details on the Reported Remake
The upcoming project is described as a "loose remake" of Misery. This suggests that while it will draw heavily on the themes, premise, or core elements of the original story—a captive writer and his obsessed fan—it will likely offer a fresh interpretation rather than a faithful adaptation.
Key Reported Information:
- Project Status: Reportedly on the way.
- Original Source: A loose remake of the 1990 thriller Misery, which was based on Stephen King's novel.
- Starring Cast: The untitled film is said to star:
- Jenna Ortega
- Barry Keoghan
- The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye)
While specific plot details for this new interpretation are not widely available, the involvement of such prominent actors suggests a high-profile production. Fans of the original will be keen to see how this contemporary take reintroduces the chilling psychological tension of Paul Sheldon and Annie Wilkes to a new audience.
