Doctor Sleep opens with Ewan McGregor as the grown-up Danny Torrance, now an adult at rock bottom of a drinking problem.
Ahead of the Doctor Sleep trailer debut today (check it out by clicking here!), director Mike Flanagan was on-hand at a special preview and spoke to us about the film!
While Flanagan sees The Shining as a story about addiction, he sees Doctor Sleep as the other side of the coin.
“He hasn’t used his ‘shine’ in decades,” explains Flanagan, “but now uses it for comfort in his job at a nursing home.”
