    No Doubt. That was a cool little video. And to hear King talk about was also cool. I sort of felt that in The Shinning, King himself was sort of like the Jack character being an alcoholic (which to me is what the book is really about). The much maligned TV series makes that point better. But now it's Danny that has turned drinking. Being an alcoholic and hitting bottom, sort of the way King probably did in real life. But then Danny turns it around (I am guessing). It is also showing that alcoholism runs in the family for different reasons. I also thought it was incredible that he said, out loud, that this was a sort of sequel to the Kubrick movie, even though we all know how much he disliked that. That video makes me want to see it even more now.

    I've been a King fan since the beginning back in the mid 70's. From the tenor of this post it appears to me that you became a fan many years later. That's awesome and cool, I just may have a different perspective on this original novel and the sequel both as a book and film some 20 aught years after the original classic. As far as I knew, King was still an alcoholic while writing and publishing "The Shining". Where he actually "was: on the subject personally at that time I couldn't say, but as I recall he didn't come "out publicly" as an alcoholic and substance abuser until around the time (or shortly thereafter) of the release of "Tommyknockers".

    Perhaps regardless, "Dr. Sleep" came out many years later while, King was well into recovery and he certainly reflects his own issues/struggles/recovery to a greater or lesser extent in "Danny" as a significantly aged and recovering alcoholic character. As far as the film goes as a rendition of the book in film, to my knowledge it is not "sort of" sequel to the, "Kubrick film". According to what I have read, King still is not pleased with the original "Shining", but has come to some sort of peace with the situation. The Dr. Sleep director made a concious choice to utilize the iconic nature of the original film to help frame the retrospective flash backs in the book by editing in the familiar scenes from Kubrick's film as a better way to educate those film goers that had never read "The Shining" book, but saw the Kubrick movie as a better frame of reference for those audiences as a better storytelling choice and marketing choice.

    I hope that gives you and any others a little better background and understanding behind the new film. FWIW, I really enjoyed the book and found it to be like getting a visit from an old and cherished friend while reading it. I'm therefore looking forward to the film and really don't have any issue with the use of clips being included as a storytelling device in this film. I didn't at all care for the Kubrick film as a valid interpetation of the book, but hell, virtually all of us have seen it and come to terms with it some form over the years. lol So, I get it as a film device and am more interested in how the "Danny 20 some odd years later" character is dealt with in the film and will likely not have any issues with the Kubrick edits/clips. BTW, can't wait for this film!!!!! lol lol Trailers look very good (but then they so often do, right?) lol lol

    That's cool Merlin. And your right. I came to King later. In the mid 80's. I figured that he was still battling with his addiction during The Shining. That's why I, personally, enjoyed the TV mini-series of The Shinning. I knew King did not like the Kubrick version but like you has said he has come to terms with it. I did not read Dr. Sleep (lazy), so I am looking forward to seeing the movie. Anyway, I agree with what you wrote. I am just interested in where he takes the character of Danny.

    My daughter invited me to see "IT 2" yesterday and naturally they showed the trailer for "Dr. Sleep" before the film (which was excellent IMHO). Seeing it on the big screen with the Dolby sound and all just got me even more pumped to see this film when it comes out!!!!!!!

    I think they will do a good job with Dr. Sleep. Like I said, not having read the book is probably a bummer, but that's usually the way things go with me.

    Clearly, I'm going to have to order some drinks for this movie then.
    I am officially excited about the movie.
    All that's left of what we were is what we have become.

    So the movie gets the "Stephen King's" title?

    I'm not crazy about these posters. Kind of dreading all the "'member Kubrick's 'The Shining'?" that they seem to be doing.

    That is my fear. Typical Hollywood dreck. Cobbled together formulas designed to exploit the Kubrick movie but doing the opposite and bombing. I hope I'm wrong but the trailer and posters seem to point in that direction. I'm actually a bit more excited for this movie after meeting Danny Lloyd but my expectations are very low. And to be honest, the book wasn't that great. Another warmed over King effort with all the usual King characters and storylines he is recycling over and over now.

    There is more of The Shining in that most recent poster than there is in the entire Dr. Sleep book.

    In the minority that I loved the book (Dr. Sleep) and hated the movie (The Shining) so this doesn't bode well for me.

    I'm wit you!! However I have high hopes for this film, despite, Webstar's insight offered. I'll be going and either be pleased as punch or, disappointed and feeling like I was punched!!!

    I guess there is no winning with me because I was disappointed in the book for not being "Shining" enough and ripping the poster for being too ""Shining" ughh. I'm an ass! Ha!

    The main issue: I wanted King to write a true sequal to the Shining not Mike Flanagan.

    No matter what happens love it or hate it it can not be as bad as TDT... I loved the shinning book, I also loved the film despite the fact it only loosely followed the book.. also really liked Dr sleep book... withhold judgment on ewan until I see it (on the big screen) but again compared to TDT its gotta be better.

    In the minority that I loved the book (Dr. Sleep) and hated the movie (The Shining) so this doesn't bode well for me.
    I'm wit you!! However I have high hopes for this film, despite, Webstar's insight offered. I'll be going and either be pleased as punch or, disappointed and feeling like I was punched!!!
    I guess there is no winning with me because I was disappointed in the book for not being "Shining" enough and ripping the poster for being too ""Shining" ughh. I'm an ass! Ha!

    The main issue: I wanted King to write a true sequal to the Shining not Mike Flanagan.

    I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts regarding "What you wanted from, King" in Dr.Sleep. We can do it via PM so as to not derail the thread. If you would be so inclined.

    Gotta agree with both of you here regarding TDT Movie. IMHO that was an even bigger rape of a King novel than even, Kubrick!!!! lol lol






    Spoiler:
    Please take notice that I highlighted "IMHO".

    I'd trust Mike Flanagan with anything at this point.

    Yeah. If The Shining is per King's analogy the beautiful car with the engine torn out then the Dark Tower film is that car covered in bird poop and beaten with a baseball bat.
