Mike Flanagan’s adaptation of Stephen King’s “Doctor Sleep” had its first footage unveiled at CinemaCon on Tuesday, and the links to “The Shining” are strong.
While details are still being kept under wraps, the sneak peek did show Danny Torrance, played by Ewan McGregor, still struggling with the trauma stemming from the events of his childhood. And as he stumbles in the dark, he looks in the mirror and sees an ominous vision: “REDRUM,” the backwards version of “MURDER” that he muttered as a child and which was painted on the walls of the Overlook Hotel all those years ago.
