The Shining (sequel?)

[Heavenley]

I was just thinking what would you think about a sequel to the Shining? Good idea or bad? Since there are so many sequels being made.........(I'm not talking about The Shining remake that was on tv, I love the original film, and nothing can ever top that anyways for me............:)

[Juice]

I'm going to puke now.

Seriously, just the fact the Kubrick is dead makes it impossible to make a sequel. The Shining is a stand alone classic like The Thing or Susperia. It also shouldn't be seen next to the brilliant book. The idea of a sequel makes me shiver.

[Living_Dead_Dude]

Yer agreed, the very idea is heracy, not only with no Kubrick but I don't think ol' Jack would be quite the same as he was now

[BorderEevilIII]

Unless Stephen King is involved, no no no no no no no no!

[Xipe Totec]

Errr, NO!.......unless there are some bloodsucking cabages from Mars involved. They could have the power to bring Jack back to life, then they pair him up with a zombie bunny rabbit to wreak havoc on Earth. I`d have nothing against that, but otherwise NO......NO, NO, NO

[pyscho dude]

I don't really see a sequel as a possibility.

[Cronos]

oh, nonononono

[Mr.HyDe807]

Whoever even thinks about making a sequel to a horror classic like the shining should hit themselves on the head for that!!!!!! How could they think of the plot??? Those dead twins come back to the grave to kill little danny torrence.

Review for The Shining 10/10:p
{do not soil this classic!}

We still haven't gotten a good first film yet, why make a sequel! You heard me, Kubrick's version blows dogs for quarters. It doesn't follow the book at all. The TV mini-series remake was much superior though it too lacked many things. At least there was an attempt in it to have the film resemble the source material unlike Kubrick's piece of shit. No Shining sequel. Lets wait for a GOOD adaptation first.

Advice: Read the book and forget the first film version.

Yes, AND...??

Let me tell you something, a book is not a movie. You should see the movie as it is, a great horror movie. It's inspired by the book, but Kubrick took the freedom of making his own version.

[ERIN_LoJ]

Juice is right. I hate when people compare books to movies all the time. I have heard a lot of people not like the shining because the "book was better". Kubrick had a different vision for it, and I'm glad he did.

[chinton]

I hate Kubriks film not becuase its different from the book but becuase its an emotionally dead and cold film. i usually dont mind that but I couldnt care less about what was happening to anyone especially that annoying kid or the whiny Shelly Duvall.


As for the sequal nooooooooooo. If they even tried I think kubriks ghost would rise from the grave and joing King with killing that poor idiot. I think they would finally ahve something to agree on.

[skweemkween]

Oh Christ..... I can see it now. Really....can't you? Some lame tv movie director, young, up and coming.done a lot of music videos.....and the plot.....*sigh* oh god maybe I'm channeling some board meeting going on in Hollywood....the plot...little Danny Torrence....is all grown up.....and he visits the place....where his father supposedly died...his mother has been in an institution of COURSE for several years. Little Danny has had foster parents who have tried to help him with the best psychotherapists and doctors to try and recall what happened THAT LAST night at the Overlook. He decides to take a trip to back to where it all began, a healing trip to exorcise the demons of Overlook with of course, his foster sister who is the same age and who he has always had a bond with....this is the foster sister that of couse will become his first lay and love of his life only to lose her to the ghosts of the Overlook...blah blah blah....jesus, I think all these antibiotics I 've been taking have opened a door.......but let's all keep this in mind.....

No one ever thought that a sequel to Saturday Night Fever could be done....and hey...that turned out pretty swell...dont' you think.........?

[chinton]

Spoilers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!






Questions is though which ending would they go with. In the book the hotel is blown up.

Ive read the book and seen the film. Both are good, but I'm glad Kubrick had his own interpretation, as I thought King's book was, while being very creepy in places, severely lacking in subtelty. Like the scene from the book where the fecking bushes come alive, or where the same thing happens to the fire hoses (spot a theme here?). The book was full of scenes like that, and I wouldn't be able to take the film seriously if they where included. I always viewed the book as airport-softback horror at best.

Agreed completely. Kings remake of the movie also had zero subtlelty. I can't understand how people can find the mini series frightening.

sequel? Maybe not such a bad idea really.

Dan Torrance, now in his mid thirties, with a beautiful wife and two TWIN GIRLS, has completely blocked out everything that happened to him and his parents as a child. Now he finds himself falling into the catatonic trances he fell into as a child, being haunted by visions of his family in torment by people he knows to be from his past, but remembers nothing about. After becoming more and more puzzled by his visions, he searches for the answers from his mother, Wendy, now an alcoholic running from her own ghosts, and plagued by the same visions. Knowing that the answers can only come from remembering the past, Dan, his mother and his family return to the Overlook (rebuilt at the turn of the century, because "greatness should not be allowed to die"). Not realizing they have been summoned there BY these visions, the family finds themselves in the grip of the evil forces bent on consuming the family of the one man who tried to destroy them.
