Mr. Harrigan’s Phone Trailer: The Latest Stephen King Adaptation Heads To Netflix
Netflix By Shania Russell/Sept. 15, 2022 3:25 pm EST
The Stephen King adaptation renaissance is showing no signs of slowing down, in large part thanks to Netflix, which has recently brought three of the author’s short stories to our screens. Joining the streamer’s library alongside Mike Flanagan’s “Gerald’s Game,” Zak Hilditch’s “1922,” and Vincenzo Natali’s “In The Tall Grass,” Netflix has finally released a trailer for the upcoming film, “Mr. Harrigan’s Phone,” another movie based on a chilling story from the famed horror writer. This time around, the supernatural is clashing with one of the scariest concepts of all: growing up. The film comes from writer-director John Lee Hancock (“The Highwaymen,” “The Little Things”) and stars Jaeden Martell and Donald Sutherland in the lead roles.
Coming-of-age drama takes center stage in this story about Craig (Martell), a teenage boy befriending a reclusive billionaire (Sutherland as the titular Mr. Harrigan). They form a bond so strong that not even death can split them apart; Craig learns this the hard way when his elder companion passed away, and he accidentally stumbles upon a way to keep their connection alive. As you can probably imagine, a lot of bone-chilling consequences ensue, which involve more than a few bodies piling up as Craig grapples with the horrifying reality that he’s stumbled into. So how exactly do these two break down the barriers of life and death? With — and bear with me here — an iPhone.

Watch the Mr. Harrigan’s Phone trailer
When Craig, a young boy living in a small town (Jaeden Martell) befriends Mr. Harrigan, an older, reclusive billionaire (Donald Sutherland), the two begin to form an unlikely bond over their love of books and reading. But when Mr. Harrigan sadly passes away, Craig discovers that not everything is dead and gone and strangely finds himself able to communicate with his friend from the grave through the iPhone in this supernatural coming-of-age story that shows that certain connections are never lost.
I have seen a close-to-finished cut of MR. HARRIGAN’S PHONE, written and directed by John Lee Hancock, and it’s nothing short of brilliant. Donald Sutherland, Jaeden Martell. Netflix. This fall.
