Doctor Sleep


40 years after his terrifying stay at the Overlook Hotel, Danny Torrance is still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child. His hope to find peace is shattered when he encounters Abra, a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the “shine.” Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality.

PROJECT DETAILS:

Originally had a January 24, 2020 theatrical release.

Director Mike Flanagan confirmed in an interview that the film will acknowledge The Shining, saying: "I think you do have to acknowledge that. There is no version of the world where I am trying not to acknowledge one of the greatest films ever made. There’s no upside in shying away from that reality. At the same time, this is not The Shining. It’s its own story and in a very specific way. If you’ve read the book, you know exactly why it’s so different but it’s quite a tightrope that we’re walking I think. I’m having a great time doing it. I’m just going to get the movie out and then turn off the internet for two weeks and see how it all goes."

Carl Lumbly plays "Dick Hallorann."

Alex Essoe plays "Wendy Torrance," continuing off her character and storyline from The Shining.

Bruce Greenwood plays "Dr. John."

Emily Alyn Lind (Lights Out) plays "Snakebite Andi, a member of a nomadic psychic group who feeds off the ‘steam’ of those children gifted with ‘the Shining’."

Rebecca Ferguson is in talks to star opposite Ewan McGregor.

Ewan McGregor is set to play Danny Torrance in the film.

Akiva Goldsman (Insurgent, RingsThe Dark Tower) wrote an early draft of the script.

Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Before I Wake, Gerald's Game) will direct.

Based on the novel with the same name from Stephen King. The novel itself is a sequel to 1977's The Shining.
