The trailer for Netflix’s upcoming original film Gerald’s Game has been released and you can finally see how the story, which many thought to be unfilmable, is becoming a reality. The film has been a passion project for Mike Flanagan, who brought us Oculus and Hush, who has been attempting to adapt Stephen King’s book for years.

Starring Carla Gugino, Carel Struycken, Henry Thomas, and Bruce Greenwood, Gerald’s Game comes to the streaming giant on September 29th. It will make its world premiere at Fantastic Fest in Austin.

Book synopsis:
Once again, Jessie Burlingame (Gugino) has been talked into submitting to her husband, Gerald’s, kinky sex games—something that she’s frankly had enough of, and they never held much charm for her to begin with. So much for a “romantic getaway” at their secluded summer home. After Jessie is handcuffed to the bedposts—and Gerald (Bruce Greenwood) crosses a line with his wife—the day ends with deadly consequences. Now Jessie is utterly trapped in an isolated lakeside house that has become her prison—and comes face-to-face with her deepest, darkest fears and memories. Her only company is that of the various voices filling her mind… as well as the shadows of nightfall that may conceal an imagined or very real threat right there with her…
