Doctor Sleep: How Do You Make a Sequel to The Shining?
Why did Jack go crazy in The Shining?
The family has to care for the hotel for the winter, but they cannot leave the mountainous area. In this isolation every day becomes the same for Jack as his writer's block becomes quotidian. The combination of isolation, monotony, creative frustration, and supernatural forces extract Jack's insanity.
Like Jack Nicholson sat alone at the hotel's deserted bar before a bartender mysteriously appeared in the original, Danny does the same in the sequel. And sure enough, a bartender appears, only this time, it's his father, played by… Haunting of Hill House star (and E.T. alum) Henry Thomas, doing his best Jack.
Moments later, he would improvise the “Here's Johnny!” line, which was a reference to the intro of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Interestingly, Kubrick originally shot the scene with a fake door, but Nicholson – who once trained as a fire marshal – chopped it down too quickly.
The Shining is partially based on a true story, as the supernatural elements of Jack Torrance's stay at the Overlook Hotel are inspired by a real haunting in Colorado and the Stanley Hotel where King stayed.
146 minutes. However, as explained above, less than one week into its release, Kubrick cut the 2 minute coda from the end, reducing its length to 144 minutes. After meeting with poor reviews and erratic box office, Kubrick decided to further edit the film for its theatrical release outside the US by cutting appr.
Years following the events of The Shining (1980), a now-adult Dan Torrance must protect a young girl with similar powers from a cult known as The True Knot, who prey on children with powers to remain immortal.
Despite its widespread praise, King famously despised Kubrick's adaptation of his book, so much so that he called it “a maddening, perverse, and disappointing film,” likening it to “a great big beautiful Cadillac with no motor inside,” eventually remaking the adaptation himself into a teleplay to finally “correct” ...
He works at a hospice center in a small New Hampshire town, where his psychic “shining” abilities let him know when a patient is on the brink of death. Dan (as he's now called) uses this insight to comfort the dying as they pass from this world, earning him the nickname of “Doctor Sleep.”
Her disarming charm is part of her terrifying nature, and she shows no remorse for the many children she has killed over her centuries-plus lifespan. In the book Rose's age is never revealed, but in interviews Ferguson puts her at at least 700 years old.
Originally set to be a prequel, Flanagan's canceled The Shining 3 brings a death knell to the franchise, as he confirmed via Twitter that the project was given the ax after Doctor Sleep's performance at the box office.
Unfortunately for them, Room 237 doesn't exist at their property, and the Stanley says 217 has become its most requested accommodation, with reservations currently on the books for the next several Halloweens. We sought out the room, but it was disappointingly normal, at least from the outside.
Many varieties of blood, having various degrees of viscosity, shades and textures, were available. Since Tinegate's death, the name "Kensington Gore" has become a generic term for stage blood. Kensington Gore was used in the film The Shining.
Delbert Grady, better known as the Hotel Caretaker, is the overarching antagonist of Stephen King's 1977 novel The Shining, as well as its 1980 film adaptation and its 1997 miniseries adaptation. He was once a caretaker of the Overlook Hotel who went insane, murdered his family and committed suicide.
He was put in charge of the Overlook Hotel, and during the time there, was driven into madness by a demon that possessed the entire Hotel and attempted to kill his own wife, Wendy, and his own son, Danny.
It's made very clear from the beginning that he was a drunk and a violent husband and father. He seems to go to the closed down hotel in hopes to get sober, since there's no booze at the hotel when it's closed. However.. We also see how cold he treats his family during the ride up to the hotel.
Published in 2013, Doctor Sleep is Stephen King's sequel to his 1977 novel The Shining. Released in 2019, Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Doctor Sleep is an adaptation of the novel, and also a sequel to Stanley Kubrick's 1980 film of The Shining, which famously deviated from the text.
In conclusion, the claim that Jim Carrey recreated a scene from “The Shining” is not true. The video was created by the YouTube channel Ctr Shift Face and was created by using the deepfake technology.
Jack tells Danny to run and remember how much he loves him, before the hotel's power takes over again and forces Jack to bash in his own face with the mallet. Jack had forgotten to dump the boiler, which grows too hot and causes the hotel to explode. Jack is killed, but Danny, Wendy and Hallorann get out just in time.
