I used to follow the twins on Facebook and it was really delightful, just endless travel pictures of them smiling while visiting different museums and landmarks

love the hand-lettered wardrobe sign.

Speculation that a new 4K HD disc of The Shining will include the hospital coda:

SUprisingly bad movie lobby poster

these might not work promottionally (and don't capture the film's vibe) but I actually really like these!

I’ve read the coda as (part of the screenplay as I recall) and i think SK was right to cut it. Couple of caps and a link to the script :

I'm glad so far there has been resistance to the idea of The Shining 2: Danny Returns

. . . er

Yeah something tells me that will not be another blade runner 2046

I saw the hospital scene in 1980. It's superfluous and confuses things (even further).

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Danny isn't here Mr Green

Red ROM!

I had no idea about this! It looks like it could be very terrible haha.

mike flanagan! that... makes me more hopeful than it should

then again i never watched his adaptation of gerald's game

Yeah, I would normally not be onboard a Shining sequel starring Ewan McGregor, but Mike Flanagan's involvement makes me interested.

King predictably hates it already, tweeting this instead lol.

How about Netflix bringing back UNDER THE DOME, only starting from scratch and actually doing the book?

King's hatred of a movie adaptation of his work is about the only sure-fire way to pique my interest, especially if it's related to The Shining.

Always a good sign when the trailer for your sequel relies almost entirely on famous clips from the original movie, plus modern actors re-enacting iconic shots from the original movie. What could possibly go wrong?

haha, the Kubrick shots are in painful contrast with the "made-for-netlix" lighting on all the sequel footage.

I'm honestly kind of surprised that a trailer for a Shining sequel where a super handsome movie star furrows his brow and dramatically says "I always called it... THE SHINING" hasn't already been done on Mr Show or FunnyOrDie or something

This looks bad but then again trailers are bad but then again Flanagan will do everything he can to walk the line between reverence for kubrick’s film and fidelity to king’s crappy sequel novel, which will be bad

trailers are the least bad thing of all those things

I agree and I really don’t like trailers

I'm quite surprised Flanagan is leaning on Kubrick so much. His Gerald's Game adaptation was extremely faithful to the book - to its detriment

For sure, and that same impulse - pulled in two directions - is now gonna give us the worst of both worlds I think

I can't be mad about closing it with Wendy Carlos's arrangement of "Dies Irae."

It’s funny cause hill house was such a loose interpretation of the text, apparently it’s only the male SKs whose ~vision~ you have to respect

(Also proved that mike could come up with shitty mawkish endings all on his own without a source text like Gerald’s game)

tbf Shirley Jackson's initials are not SK

She’s not male either

lol rereading my elaborate opinions on gerald's game elsewhere, this shining film will be bad

also now i'm thinking of a kubrick version of gerald's game

cuffs wide shut

bondy lyndon

Dr Strangelove or how I stopped worrying and learned to love the bond

Or whatever the hell it was called~!

apparently the only shot in that trailer that is Kubrick's is the blood coming from the elevators -- everything else is new footage from Flanagan.

making, with Ready Player One, two movies in two years that have used re-created scenes from The Shining.

What scene did RPO use?

the elevators and Room 237

Oh wait, I was wrong - King likes this after all and this is probably going to be v bad, haha.

This movie is going to blow your mind. If you have any left after IT CHAPTER 2, that is. https://t.co/cUPCfwZS08

I still think Gerald's Game is a great watch as long as you skip the last five minutes or so.

King likes or claims to like any/all adaptations of his work these days

that said I like Flanagan in general, more for how humane, well-edited and well-acted his movies are than how "scary"

humane unless you have acromegaly :(

Why does King think all Indian burial grounds spawn evil
