Stephen King’s Gerald’s Game is heading to Netflix with Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood as the leads.

Henry Thomas, Carel Struycken, Kate Siegel, and Chiara Aurelia will co-star in the new production, about to start shooting in Alabama according to a report at Deadline. Mike Flanagan is directing from the script he co-wrote with Jeff Howard. The story is centred on Jesse Burlingame who has finally had enough of her husband’s sex games – but something goes wrong and she ends up handcuffed to a bed in a cabin in the middle of nowhere…

“Gerald’s Game has been my dream project for nearly twenty years,” Flanagan told Deadline. “As a lifelong fan of Stephen King, it is a true honor to be trusted with this amazing material. I am deeply grateful to my long-time partner, Trevor Macy, and to my new partners at Netflix, for making this dream project a reality. This is one of the reasons I wanted to make movies in the first place.”
