Today we have word that The Shining and Doctor Sleep author Stephen King himself says that Mike Flanagan’s upcoming adaptation of Doctor Sleep “is going to blow your mind.”
The Haunting of Hill House and Gerald’s Game director Mike Flanagan is taking the helm of Doctor Sleep from a screenplay he wrote himself based on the The Shining sequel novel penned by author Stephen King.
Last week some of us, but not all, were knocked off our (somewhat) collective feet by the trailer for The Haunting of Hill House and Gerald’s Game director Mike Flanagan’s upcoming adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining sequel novel Doctor Sleep starring Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson, and Kyliegh Curran.
But, yeah, having read the source material that Doctor Sleep is based on, I can say that this new movie is going to be pretty mind-blowing for fans of Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of The Shining who are holding off on reading King’s sequel.
