The Shining 2: "Doctor Sleep" movie

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/80198

Ewan McGregor has been cast as the adult Danny Torrance.

I know she's a mess now, but I'd love to see them bring back Shelly Duvall as his mom.

Final trailer:



Also I'm hearing a lot of hubbub that they're doing CGI funny business to a dude's face to bring 1980s Jack Nicholson to life in it.

hope its better than that mess daring to call itself pet semetary in 2019.

My god, what a disjointed, un feeling mess that was. If you didn't see the original movie to fill in the blanks, NOTHING in it would make sense. Might as well have edited pascow out of it. he was a non entity in this thing and had less than a minute or two of screen time.

Saw "Doctor Sleep." I thought it was great. A worthy sequel to "The Shining" that feels very much organic to that, with plenty of Kubrick-like touches. I don't know if it was ever SCARY, but there was more than a few chilling moments and some surprising brutality in what the "steam vampires" do to people, particularly children. It expands the mythology of "The Shining" without torpedoing it in the process... like "Dark Fate" did to Terminator's.

Spoiler:
Didn't think Danny needed to die at the end (yeah, it makes it a LITTLE vague if he survives, but the way it was presented there's no way). It ends things on a really dour note that it didn't need to. I think he survived the book, too.

Also, it's just me, but I was hoping we'd get some kind of CGI magic on the Jack Nicholson stand-in to REALLY make him look like young Jack. Maybe even with Nicholson's voice dubbed in. Even without that, I was expecting a little bit more from Jack than what was here, but it's not a problem.


Apparently it's set to lose 20-30 million, though... sad. This deserved to do really well.

Good, it’s a very entertaining movie despite the poor box office.
