Shining - Prequel geplant ( "Overlook Hotel" )

[Trooper Death]

Sieht so aus, als wenn das Prequel zu «The Shining»  nun tatsächlich in die Kinos kommt.

Stephen King hatte sich ja unlängst dagegen ausgesprochen ---> http://www.filmstarts.de/nachrichten/18478039.html

Die Verlautbarung auf The Hollywood Reporter:

Former "Walking Dead" showrunner Glen Mazzara wrote the script for the Stephen King adaptation.

Mark Romanek is checking into the Overlook Hotel.

The director is in negotiations to direct the prequel to The Shining for Warner Bros., The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The Shining was one of Stephen King's early horror works and was adapted into the classic Stanley Kubrick movie, which starred Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall.

Overlook is based on King's original prologue to The Shining, which was cut from the book prior to publication in 1977.

The film will tell the origin story of the haunted hotel through the eyes of its first owner, Bob T. Watson, a robber baron at the turn of the 20th century.

Former Walking Dead showrunner Glen Mazzara wrote the script. James Vanderbilt, Brad Fischer and Laeta Kalogridis are producing.

Romanek is a music video director who last directed the clone-themed drama Never Let Me Go, starring Andrew Garfield, Keira Knightley and Carey Mulligan. He also directed the pilot for Locke & Key, the adaptation of a comic written by Joe Hill, King's son.

Mark Romanek ist schonmal ne feine Wahl.  :respekt:

Übt schon einen gewissen Reiz aus, die Idee - aber ob die sich dann an Kubricks Hotel orientieren oder ein neues Overlook konstruieren...muß man sehen.

Ich bin kein Prequeltyp (gibt keins, auf das ich nicht hätte verzichten können), aber die Vorgeschichte hat sicher ihren Reiz (Indianerfriedhof, anyone?  :icon_mrgreen:)
