The sequel to "The Shining" sounds pretty damn interesting.


I can't live the buttoned-down life like you. I want it all. The dizzying highs, the terrifying lows, the creamy middles. Sure, I may offend some of the blue bloods with my cocky stride and musky odors. Oh, I'll never be the darling of the so-called "city fathers," who cluck their tongues, stroke their beards and talk about what's to be done with this Homer Simpson?

I'm a big Stephen King fan, but I liked the Shining film better than the book.

Stephen King tends to complicate things by using the supernatural alot. The same thing happened in the Johnny Depp film "Secret Window, Secret Garden". But I've learned to pass that.

Weird for me. I'm a huge Stephen King geek, but...after consuming the Dark Tower series for a number of years (with large breaks inbetween each books) I'm not sure about reading another book set in this timeframe in the narrative. I dont see the point somehow. I'll still know the sucky ending is coming (even King has stated he isn't happy with the ending to this huge marathon). He always says its the journey that counts, not the finish...but, well -- I know the finish.

Who's looking forward to the film version of Dark Tower? Isn't Ron Howard involved?

P.S. I'd love a sequel to The Shining.

Quoted from B.C.

Universal turned down the project last week.
They were going to do a trilogy of films and then a follow-up TV series on NBC. But it doesn't look like any of it will be happening now.

This should be 7 films like Harry Potter. Making this series a trilogy would be difficult to do and would definitely not do this series justice.

I'm not surprised the films have fell through, to be honest. It's a really big gamble for any company to take on.

Shame, though.

Why not turn the books into anime? Not sure how much the spending would cost but probably less if shot in real locations.

Universal were probably trying to reach a wider audience. The problem with adapting them as anime is that you immediately exclude a large number of people who aren't into it, which would bring down revenues.

On the other hand, there was a graphic novel adaptation of "The Stand" that was very successfull, so doing something along those lines is not out of the realm of possibility.
