Mr. Harrigan's Phone adaptation coming in October 2022

Prolific producers Ryan Murphy and Jason Blum are teaming with Netflix for a feature adaptation of the Stephen King short story Mr. Harrigan’s Phone for the streamer. It will mark the Netflix’s fourth King project, following Gerald’s Game, 1922 and In the Tall Grass.

John Lee Hancock, the filmmaker behind The Blind Side and Saving Mr. Banks, has been tapped to write and direct Mr. Harrigan’s Phone. For Netflix, John Lee Hancock worked on The Highwaymen which remains one of Netflix’s most underappreciated gems.

The film is also one of many projects in the pipeline from Ryan Murphy at Netflix as part of his overall deal with the streamer. Murphy will serve as a producer on the movie. Blumhouse Productions, Ryan Murphy Productions and Paper Pictures are all involved.

Netflix’s Mr. Harrigan’s Phone is currently set to enter production in October 2021 in Connecticut, US according to issue 1261 of Production Weekly. There is no word yet on how long filming will take.

I really liked that story. Looking forward to seeing this

This is about what you might expect. A mediocre movie. Like an extended episode of Creepshow with no chemistry between the characters, stereotypes, and ridiculous plot. If you have low expectations, it is watchable. Otherwise skip it.

A shortened version of this, on the show Nightmares and Dreamscapes, would have been perfect.

I liked it a lot, though wish it was longer and had more of the creepy feeling that I felt when reading the story.

I thought it was pretty good and it was my favorite story from the collection.

IDK what u guys saw in this film. It was kind of a dud IMHO.

IMHO it was OK to watch - nothing great, but OK!

I did like the casting!
