Mike Flanagan Hired To Direct Shining Sequel
In 2013 Stephen King published Doctor Sleep, a sequel to his famous novel The Shining that followed Danny Torrance as a grown-up. Such a high-profile release would inevitably become a movie someday. That day is coming soon: Deadline reports that Warner Bros, who produced Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 adaption of the original, now holds the movie rights to Doctor Sleep and intends to use them immediately. They’ve hired director Mike Flanagan to see the task through.
