'Doctor Sleep' director Mike Flanagan on Stephen King and creating a follow-up to 'The Shining' and following in the footsteps of both Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick.
Director Mike Flanagan is no stranger to adapting Stephen King’s more difficult works. After all, his adaptation of “Gerald’s Game,” a story long considered to be unfilmable, was positively received in 2017.
Although King was amenable to the idea, Flanagan was concerned about how the author would receive the film once it was completed. “I grabbed the book as soon as it was published and loved being with Dan Torrance again, but all the images in my brain were Kubrick,” Flanagan said. “I wanted to make sure that Kubrick’s film was canon. I didn’t think we could change anything, but I wanted to protect as much as possible of the arc of Danny Torrance as King had defined it, particularly in the first half of the book.”
“Mike serves both of us in a wonderful, inventive way,” he wrote. “Dick Hallorann is still alive in my book but dead in Kubrick’s version. Kubrick’s film ends with the Overlook frozen [while] my book ended with it going up in flames. Once I saw he intended to give the True Knot their full due, I was onboard. I just never expected Rebecca Ferguson to be so wonderful.

Nick Foles, starting quarterback, has recovered from his broken collarbone, and will make his triumphant return to the field whenever it is the Jaguars play next. I have not watched a single one of his games this season, but am confident in my assessment: Gardner Minshew II’s mustache heralds the return of the hot and handsome scumbag, and I am very much here for it.
