Um.

Balls the size of moons to create a sequel to a Kubrick film.
 
I'll watch on streaming
 
Looks like it might be interesting. I was never a huge fan of the shining to begin with though.

Yeah. I am excited about Ewan Mcgregor, but what's next, Blue Velvet 2?
 
Yeah, let’s just add some magic marker to the Mona Lisa while we’re at it.

To be fair it’a sequel to Stephen Kings novel shining as opposed to Kubricks version Although I doubt the distinction will be apparent while watching the movie.

Flanagan has been impressive with his adaptations, though,
 
Ewan McGregor hasn't been in anything interesting in a while.

I'll wait for reliable reviews to see if its worth checking out.

The trailer shows clips from the Kubrick film. Looks like its a sequel to that.
 
Looks like a generic horror movie. Doubt it comes close to living up to the original.

Obviously the trailer will connect the two to get attention. I can’t go into details without spoilers, but there are differences between the shining novel and movie, and the story King wrote ignores the movie adaptation.

I know I read the book. Kubrick actually ignored King's screenplay and wrote his own and King hated the Kubrick version. So yeah to now make a movie about King's sequel and then reference the Kubrick movie is a little weird.
