King and Straub actually reunited years later to pen Black House, a sequel that catches up with Jack as an older man, now working as a homicide detective.
Written by Stephen King and Peter Straub in 1984, The Talisman follows a young boy named Jack Sawyer, whose mother is dying.
So if this first movie takes off, there’s a framework in place for a second film (Just like IT.)
Jack learns that he can cure his mom is he can acquire a talisman.
