According to a report by THR, John Lee Hancock will write and direct the horror thriller.

'Mr. Harrigan's Phone' was part of King's 2020 released anthology 'If It Bleeds'.

The film follows a young boy (Martell) who befriends an older billionaire, Mr. Harrigan (Sutherland).
After the old man's death, the young boy learns that all dead people are gone and realises that he was still able to communicate with his deceased friend.

'Mr. Harrigan's Phone' starts production work later this month and is most likely to release in 2022.

Martell rose to prominence with the 'It' movies, while Sutherland's most recent work was the hit series 'The Undoing', co-starring Nicole Kidman, Hugh Grant and Noah Jupe.
