Doctor Sleep aka The Shining 2 thread (Ewan McGregor to star)

[KevCo]

Ewan McGregor to Star in New ‘Shining’ Movie ‘Doctor Sleep’ (EXCLUSIVE)

“Doctor Sleep” begins as Torrance carries the trauma of the Overlook Hotel into adulthood. He’s become a reflection of his murderous father, with lingering rage and a drinking problem that dulls his pain as well as his “shining” powers. Those powers return when he embraces sobriety and uses his gift to help the dying at a hospice. He establishes a psychic connection with a young girl who shares his extreme abilities, and who is being targeted by a group with similar abilities.

Ewan McGregor is playing Danny Torrence, son of Jack Torrence

The book is dope, Shining is god status so it's hard to come close but SK took an interesting approach.

Didn’t expect them to lean so heavily into the shining since I hear the dr sleep book is so different from the shining and very much its own thing.

It’s Flanagan tho so I’m down

Yeah...its does appear they are leaning on more callbacks.

Spoiler

In the book the hotel is gone...been totally demolished. They visit the site, but in the trailer it seems as if he goes back and visits. Also, the girl is much older in the trailer than the book.

Trailer looks straight though...but The Dark Tower has me worried anytime I see major liberties being taken with the source material.
