Doctor Sleep aka The Shining 2 thread (Ewan McGregor to star)

Yeah man this is great. I’m still blown it didn’t do well at the box office.

Did it drop around Halloween? I'm trying to remember but I wonder if that would've helped a bit cause this movie was awesome.

It really is a shame. And I have to say I'm feeling some kind of way about 'Black Phone' lifting a lot of the same plot/character features and getting early praise like Doctor Sleep didn't exist.

You can praise both movies tho. Doctor sleep was praised. Just underperformed at the box office. That’s nothing but timing and luck.

Man Abra was so damn great of a character in this shyt. Best character in a King movie imo. She gave zero fukks about the dangerous shyt. She would fukk over Carrie and the Firestarter girl (was another good flick with the "Shining" aspect).

One of the few issues I had with the movie was her dad's death got glossed over too quick. That devastated me, but I feel like the film didn't respect it enough.

I need a rewatch now that Welcome to Derry has Hallorann in it.

One of the better King adaptations. I really liked this and even bought it on blu-ray. The actress playing Abra is incredible. I think she was in Fall of The House of Usher as well (Netflix).
