20 Upcoming Horror Movies NOBODY Asked For

20. Mike Flanagan's The Mist

It was recently announced that a new adaptation of Stephen King's 1980 cosmic horror novella The Mist is in the works, with the great Mike Flanagan set to write and direct.

In theory, Flanagan's involvement should be a cause for celebration, considering both his stature in the horror realm and prior success adapting King's works. But Frank Darabont's previous 2007 film already did such a fantastic job of translating King's source material to the big screen, complete with a bleak new ending which King himself said he wished he came up with, that it's tough to see how a new take can really compete.

Again, Flanagan is tremendously talented and has already assured fans that he's planning to do something very different with King's original story, but considering we already have a very, very good big-screen version of The Mist, this can't help but feel like a waste of his creative energies.

Basically, nobody asked for it, but it'll probably be pretty good anyway, albeit endlessly compared to Darabont's original.
