Doctor Sleep

[Rorschach2012]

I ****ing loved the novel. McGregor is great casting. Martian Manhunter as Halloran is too perfect. Can’t wait for the trailer!

Another horror movie to throw on the 2019 pile.

We're in for a great year in horror.

The Lodge, Midsommar and this.

Hopefully it's gonna be good I heard the book ain't great

 

[Sawyer]

You heard wrong.

I loved the book and it's probably my third favorite King book behind Pet Semetary and The Shining. Danny's memories and feelings about his father and what happened at the Overlook was wonderful.

 

[Roose Bolton]

The climax of the novel is one of the best King has written in ages.

 

[Sawyer]

Hnnngh

Thought he was going to only reference The Shining book, but it’s nice he’s also including the movie. I mean, how could he not?

 

[:eek:]

First Clip From Doctor Sleep

/Film has seen a clip from Doctor Sleep at CinemaCon 2019 in Las Vegas and here is what they said about it.

Doctor Sleep: We got a glimpse behind the scenes, with Ewan McGregor (sporting a beard as the grown-up Danny) explaining that the film directly addresses his character’s traumatic stay at the Overlook Hotel. Specifically: “How does he deal with that terrible experience from his childhood?” Naturally, the presentation also noted that Stephen King is very involved in the production.

The sneak peek itself featured snippets of intriguing footage. A car driving through the woods in the beginning was clearly reminiscent of the opening sequence from The Shining. A group of people gathered around a campfire – possibly the villains of the film, a nomadic group of people with powerful psychic abilities who prey on those who can “shine.” We also see Danny touch hands with a young girl (possibly Abra Stone, a psychic kid played by Kyliegh Curran). Then there’s a shot of a woman walking with a needle hidden behind her back. Could this be Rose the Hat (Rebecca Ferguson), the main villain of the film?

Finally, the kicker: Danny stands in a filthy bathroom and “redrum” is scratched into the mirror.

And Folks... It was a critical mistake.

No I think that was a smart move

No I think that was a smart move

From warner bro's marketing point of view, absoFrickenLutely. They are going to cash in on tying this to Kubrick's film.

 

[Boom]

Trying to make a direct sequel off of a Stanley Kubrick classic?

I mean, good luck I suppose. That's a tough one.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Wonder how Stephen King feels about that.

Guess it’s better than being a sequel to Steven Webber.

 

[terry78]

well whatever.

 

[Rorschach2012]

The ending might be a little different considering the moral differences between Jack in the book vs the film, but that doesn’t bother me much. Dick Halloran died in the film and didn’t die in the book though right? Wonder how they’ll address that considering Martian Manhunter has been cast as Halloran.

I actually loved hill house.

Spoiler: But

This on the other hand is a different story, fortunately for them they have 6 months to fix some of these highly questionable decisions.

 

[moviedoors]

I always figured they'd go the direct sequel route. Making it a sequel makes one of the major locations much more interesting and enticing to visit.
