DoctorSleep director Mike Flanagan recalls how he convinced Stephen King to let him tie the film to Stanley Kubrick's TheShining. 'The initial feedback we got was 'no.' King really, really didn't like Kubrick's film...'
Despite knowing of his strong distaste for the prior adaptation, Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan pitched ties to Stanley Kubrick's The Shining to Stephen King, and it nearly didn't work.
I put together a proposal that outlined what I wanted to do - use Kubrick's visual language, and keep the Overlook standing as a setting for the final battle. The initial feedback we got was "no." King really, really didn't like Kubrick's film, and his priority was to adapt DOCTOR SLEEP - not to revisit THE SHINING.I told him that if he didn't want me to do it, I wouldn't - I'd walk away from the movie before I made something he hated.
