WTF a sequel to the Shining? This is the first I've ever heard of it.

Interesting that it heavily references the Kubrick film, when Stephen King didn't like it.

Here. For. IT!! Aw man I hope it's good, I'm not expecting Kubrick-level genius obviously, but you can't follow up a movie like TS with just "okay" yano? Last edited by LaLaLand; 14-06-2019 at 01:32 AM. |

I love Stephen King as an author but I find that his books don't often translate well to film (or maybe the ones that were made were just made at a bad point in time) so i fnd it odd that he wouldn't like The Shining considering, imo, it was one of the best films

Another obvious example is John Coffey, like the drink, only not spelt the same. And lots of theories that "Carrie" also has a form of The Shine. But yeah, it plays a huge part (obviously...) in The Shining but it's mostly glossed over in the Kubrick movie, despite the... err... title. I suppose that would be somewhat frustrating as an author. It's a good "simple horror adaptation" but the roots are severed. |

Speaking of Tom Cullen; I'm CONVINCED that the "Hodor = Hold The Door" twist is a Tom Cullen rip off .
Throughout "The Stand", Tom (who is illiterate and learning disabled) repeatedly says "M-O-O-N... that spells [insert incorrect word]" at random times, like "that spells bicycle!" etc... then towards the end at a moment where he plays a pivotal role... he just "knew what to do" (because, The Shine) when there's a big full moon in the sky and he says; "M-O-O-N ... That spells moon!". Hold The Door. |

In the Kubrick movie he DOESN'T regain his clarity, he freezes to death still trying to murder his son, the hotel remains standing, and also his psychotic nature is harder to pin down (he never seems like a good or loving father from the start). It's a major shift in tone and the "father-son" message (that deep down he always loved them) and taking King's family life into consideration, I guess the reasons for him not liking the changes are clearer. |
