If you loved Netflix’s new horror series, “The Haunting of Hill
House,” the director’s next project should entice you.
Mike Flanagan is one of the biggest horror filmmakers working
today, having also made “Gerald’s Game,” Ouija: Origin of Evil,”
“Hush,” and more before adapting Shirley Jackson’s “The Haunting
of Hill House” 1959 novel. Flanagan won’t be straying from horror
in the future, as he’s set to direct an adaptation of Stephen
King’s 2013 novel, “Doctor Sleep,” which is a sequel to “The
Shining.”
The movie stars Ewan McGregor as a grown-up Danny Torrance, the
son of Jack Torrance, who terrorized Danny and his mother in
King’s original novel and Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film. Flanagan
was confirmed to be the “Doctor Sleep” director in January, two years before
the movie comes to theaters.
King is already a fan of Flanagan’s, and praised “The Haunting of Hill
House” on Twitter this week.
“I don’t usually care for this kind of revisionism, but
this is great,” King said. “Close to a work of genius, really. I
think Shirley Jackson would approve, but who knows for
sure.”
“Doctor Sleep” comes to theaters January 24, 2020.
