Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep (2013) is a sequel to The Shining (1977) which was adapted to the big screen by Stanley Kubrick in 1980.
We announced earlier this year that Ewan McGregor is set to star in Doctor Sleep with Mike Flanagan directing. The story follows a grown up Danny Torrance who is struggling with what had happened to his father and his family years before.

The movie is released on November 8th 2019.
