The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (via JoBlo) brings word that the upcoming Warner Bros. adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining sequel, Doctor Sleep, will remain faithful to King’s novel.
Until now, fans had wondered whether Flanagan’s movie would be a direct sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror adaptation of The Shining, and this news indicates that Doctor Sleep will likely stem from the novel versions instead.
King’s distaste for Kubrick’s The Shining even became a critical plotpoint in the recent Steven Spielberg hit Ready Player One!
Are you glad Doctor Sleep will hew towards the books rather than the Kubrick film?
