Scott Sigler - Inside Stephen King's Terrifying (and Sometimes Terrible) Movie Adaptations
2 December 2009 9:00 PM, PST | amctv.com - Horror Hacker: Scott Sigler | See recent amctv.com - Horror Hacker: Scott Sigler news »
I know, I know: We've all asked before (and will probably ask again) why Hollywood always seem to butcher Stephen King's stories. That complaint seems to come up all the time, but it's no longer entirely accurate. In fact, it's hard to remember where this perception came from: After all, King is the storyteller behind the movies The Shawshank Redemption, Misery, The Green Mile, The Shining and many others.

King's Colorado Kid Finds Haven on SyFy
30 November 2009 10:10 PM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Stephen King's been a busy man of late. What with the release of Under the Dome, his first tour to support a book in ages, a recent short story in the New Yorker and talk about a sequel to his early novel The Shining, as well as suggestions of a collaboration with Steven Spielberg, King has added one more project to his plate: Universal will produce a 13-episode limited series based on his novella The Colorado Kid for its SyFy channel, according to Variety.
Given the brand value of King's work, oddly enough Universal will rename the series Haven. I understand that The Colorado Kid sounds like something more like The Country Western Channel than a channel for science fiction fans, but why bother to buy the rights to a work from the most popular author of our time, and then slap a new title on it?

Stephen King Writing “The Shining” Sequel
26 November 2009 12:55 PM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Stephen King is writing a sequel to his cult classic “The Shining.”
“The Shining” was released in 1977 and was adapted into a Stanley Kubrick film in 1980, starring Jack Nicholson, Danny Lloyd, and Shelley Duvall.
According to the Torontoist, the 62-year-old novelist was at the Canon Theater in Toronto last week, treating fans to a 15-minute reading from his new book, “Under the Dome.” While there, King casually remarked about an idea that he began working on.
The second novel would center on Danny Torrance, the young boy from the original story with the gift of being able to communicate clairvoyantly with ghosts, and who is now an appropriately aged 40-year-old. All these years after being tormented by the spiritual inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel and his father’s alcoholism/homicidal rage, Danny is now working at a hospice using his supernatural powers for palliative purposes. King even offered a tentative »

Stephen King Ponders 'Shining' Sequel
26 November 2009 11:15 AM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
I haven't read a new Stephen King work in quite a while, so I'm in no position to say whether or not he's still got the mettle to carry something like this through, but the celebrated author told an audience in Toronto recently that he has thought about penning a sequel to The Shining, which King calls Doctor Sleep.
The Torontoist reports that King feels "the first novel never explained what happened to young Danny and his psychic powers" and that "he believes that the events that took place at the Overlook Hotel must have left Danny with lots of emotional scars."
Yes, well, I think that goes without saying. »

Shining: the sequel?
26 November 2009 | Cineman.ch/en | See recent Cineman.ch/en news »
In Toronto for a reading moderated by David Cronenberg, Stephen King has told fans he has been thinking about writing a sequel to "The Shining", which Stanley Kubrick turned into a movie in 1980. Even if the novel has yet to be written, it would hardly be a surprise if was not immediately adapted to the big screen, given Hollywood's endless penchant for sequels. Nevertheless, at a reading to promote his latest book, "Under the Dome", the master of horror told fans the sequel would concentrate on Danny Torrance, now about 40 and working in a New York hospice for terminal patients, using his powers to communicate with ghosts to help ease dying patients. The work-in-progress title is "Doctor Sleep". King added a caveat, stressing it's only talk at the moment: "Maybe if I keep talking about it I won't have to write it." It should also be noted that King considered »

Stephen King Not Writing ‘Shining’ Sequel
25 November 2009 10:00 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
At a reading of Stephen King’s new novel “Under the Dome” last week, the famous author answered questions from the audience and director David Cronenberg about his work. The filmmaker asked if King enjoyed looking back over his novels and the horror writer responded that he sometimes wondered what his old characters were up to.
This lead to a lengthy scenario, reported by the Torontoist, that would center on Danny Torrance, the Big Wheel riding kid from The Shining. “What happened after he survived the incident at the Overlook Hotel?” King asked himself last summer. In the author’s imagination, Danny would be 40 years old and living in upstate New York where he tends to patients in a hospice. His mysterious powers help those pass on to the other side in a novel King wanted to title “Doctor Sleep.” No return to the Overlook? No thank you.

Best selling author, Stephen King, has shocked fans with the announcement that he is writing a sequel to his famous book "The Shining". The 1977 novel was adapted for the big screen three years after it hit retailer shelves and the film directed by Stanley Kubrick (Full Metal Jacket) and starring Jack Nicholson became a cult classic, considered one of the scariest motion pictures of all time. King confirmed he is writing a follow-up during an appearance in Toronto, Canada this week and revealed the story will be set 40 years later and revolve around the lead character Jack Torrance's son. The sequel is currently titled "Doctor Sleep". However, King admits he's nervous about writing a follow-up to his best story, joking to the crowd, "Maybe if I keep talking about it I won't have to write it."

Stephen King shines again?

Stephen King Not Writing a Sequel to The Shining
25 November 2009 11:05 AM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
We reported yesterday on Stephen King's supposed plans to write a sequel to The Shining, as relayed by Toronto 1st. Sadly some new first-hand info has come to light denouncing their report.
Dread Central reader syd13 was in attendance at the reading, and this is how he says things really went down:
"Not to burst anyone's bubble, but the report is bullshit. I was at the Toronto Q&A, and the "Toronto 1st" article is spinning a story where there isn't one. What happened was this: Cronenberg asked King if he enjoyed looking back over his works. King responded that he did sometimes enjoy looking over his older stuff, and sometimes wondered where the characters would be now. He then proceeded to lay out a few minutes about where he had pictured Danny Torrence being.
From the way he spoke, I got the impression that these were ideas he »

Stephen King is working on ‘Doctor Sleep’, a sequel to ‘The Shining’
25 November 2009 8:38 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Acclaimed author and Entertainment Weekly columnist Stephen King (I love his articles on movie theater candy, seriously) announced that he is working on a sequel to arguably his most popular novel, The Shining.
While King was promoting his new Under the Dome story in Toronto, he told fans and reporters that his current project is a story entitled Doctor Sleep.
King believes that the first novel never explained what happened to young Danny and his super-cool psychic powers and that the events at the Overlook Hotel left the lad with “emotional scars.”
“Danny is now 40 years old and living in upstate New York, where he works as the equivalent of an orderly at a hospice for the terminally ill,” says King. “Danny’s real job is to visit with patients who are just about to pass on to the other side, and to help them make that journey with the aid of his mysterious powers. »

Horror writer Stephen King has revealed that a sequel to The Shining would focus on a 40-year-old Danny Torrance
Jack Torrance's little boy Danny was last seen recuperating in Maine after escaping the insane evil of the Overlook Hotel, but Stephen King is now plotting a sequel to The Shining which would age the clairvoyant boy to 40 and transport him to a New York hospice.
Speaking to an audience of fans in Toronto about his new novel Under the Dome, King divulged that he'd begun working on a tentative idea for a follow-up to The Shining – first published in 1977 – last summer.
Danny, he said, was certain to have been left "with a lifetime's worth of emotional scars" after his experiences at the Overlook, where his father was possessed by the hotel, tried to kill him and his mother and eventually died.

Stephen King Has Been Working on a Sequel to The Shining?
24 November 2009 11:41 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
This isn't exactly news, but it's quite an earth shattering thought that could end up shaking cinema to the core. Recently The Torontoist attended an event where author Stephen King treated fans to a 15-minute reading from the author’s new novel, Under the Dome, as well as a candid interview chock full of stories passed in an on-stage interview with Eastern Promises director David Cronenberg. In this interview, King shocked fans when he began casually describing an idea for a new novel only to slowly reveal that it was his concept for a sequel to The Shining, the original novel that spawned Stanley Kubrick's classic horror film. Apparently the follow-up, referred to as Doctor Sleep, is something King has been working on since last summer where (spoilers for those who have neither read the book, nor seen the film) he's continued the story following Danny Torrance (the creepy »

Stephen King Hints at Shining Sequel
24 November 2009 5:52 PM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Big news from Lilja's Library, the unofficial chronicler of Stephen King's works. According to blogger Torontoist, while King was doing the rounds for his new mega-novel Under the Dome, he stopped in Toronto for an interview conducted by none other than The Dead Zone director and Canada's most famous horror director, David Cronenberg; during the discussion, King mentioned that a sequel to The Shining might be in the works. The novel would explore a grownup Danny Torrance's connection with hospice patients. King's prospective title? Doctor Sleep.
The description Torontoist gives doesn't actually mention the Overlook Hotel, or their snowy environs. It appears that King wants to follow the character, and not just merely return to the original's setting. This is the same ploy he used with Father Callahan in the Dark Tower series, instead of bringing the priest back to 'Salem's Lot (which would've thrilled me, as I've »

The luckiest audience in the world last night could be found at the Canon Theatre in Toronto, where a crowd of fortunate souls got to watch, for a full hour, two titans of terror in conversation -- Stephen King and hometown hero David Cronenberg (who, of course, brought King's The Dead Zone to the big screen in a first-rate adaptation back in 1983). Apparently so relaxed to be in the company of another horror god, King casually dropped the bombshell that he's considering a sequel to what is arguably his finest novel, The Shining. According to Books.Torontoist.com, King is interested enough in what happened to Jack Torrance's son Danny after Torrance unleashed Holy Hell on the kid... »
Stephen King: A Shining Sequel on the Way?

Now This is pretty damned interesting ... a sequel to one of Stephen King's most beloved terror tales written by the man himself? Consider our attention officially gotten!
Following a 15-minute reading of King's latest book, Under the Dome, legendary director David Cronenberg hosted a special Q&A with the author who revealed to the audience that he plans on writing a sequel to The Shining entitled Doctor Sleep.
From The Toronto 1St
"King dropped a fan bombshell on the crowd by casually describing a novel idea he began working on last summer. Seems King was wondering whatever happened to Danny Torrance of The Shining, who when readers last saw him was recovering from his ordeal at the Overlook Hotel at a resort in Maine with fellow survivors Wendy Torrance and chef Dick Halloran (who dies in the Kubrick film version).

Stephen King has been letting a lot of juicy news tidbits slip while making book tour appearances. His latest admission is almost unbelievable. While appearing at Toronto's Canon Theatre, King dropped the bombshell during his on stage interview with director David Cronenberg that he began working on a sequel to The Shining last summer. That's right... a Sequel to The Shining. According to the report from Torontoist, King wanted to revisit Danny Torrance, who was last seen on the page (spoilers coming up for the book and moie The Shining) recovering from his ordeal at the Overlook Hotel at a resort in Maine with fellow survivors Wendy Torrance and chef Dick Halloran (who had a much different fate in the Kubrick film adaptation), who has become the head chef. King breifly laid out his tenative plan for the novel, which would see the emotionally scarred kid, now a 40-year-old orderly »

A Sequel to 'The Shining' is Brewing Within Stephen King
24 November 2009 2:45 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Gotta love the book tour Stephen King is currently on to promote Under the Dome. First he tells a crowd in Maryland that he has written a draft of the television screenplay for Cell, that HBO wants to do an Under the Dome miniseries, and that he is working on new Talisman and The Dark Tower novels. And now an even bigger bombshell comes: he's got a book plan for a sequel to The Shining brewing in the back of his always-working mind.
But before getting to the news, I'd like to address the means by which it leaked out, which is equally interesting. While in Toronto, King followed up a 15-minute reading from Under the Dome with an hour long Q&A in a packed theater. The interviewer? David Cronenberg. Thinking about that taking place makes my heart hurt. My favorite director interviewing my favorite writer? What kind of »
