IFC Films Nabs Distro for Stanley Kubrick/The Shining Documentary Room 237

Unfortunately, one Sundance 2012 film that we didn't get a chance to see and review was Rodney Ascher's experimental documentary Room 237, which explores numerous theories about the real meaning of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, but thankfully IFC Films is about to make up for it.

Stephen King Promises Dr. Sleep Will Be Goddamn Scary!

For my money neither of the adaptations (film, TV miniseries) of Stephen King's The Shining did the book justice, and it remains my favorite of everything he's written, which is why I'm really looking forward to its sequel, Dr. Sleep, and am super happy to pass on King's recent description of it.

The Shining NOT Being Screened with its Original Ending in Rochester, New York

We hate it when a plan falls apart. A couple of weeks ago, or was it last week? (so much new; so few brain cells)... Anyway, previous reports of a rare print of The Shining with an alternate ending being shown in New York have proven false.

Stephen King Brings a Shining Sequel to Life With Dr. Sleep

I'm sort of ashamed to admit I only read "The Shining" for the first time this summer. But I'm a big Stephen King fan, regardless, and have kept up with the majority of his recent output. That's precisely why this bit of news excites me. King's been on a winning streak with his last few forays into the horror genre so what better time to hone a sequel to one of his most beloved works?

The Shining Being Screened with its Original Ending in Rochester, New York

Oh, how we wish we were based out of Rochester, New York. Why? Because the Stanley Kubrick terror-driven tour de force The Shining will be playing up on the big screen like you've never seen it before.

Now THIS is pretty damned interesting ... a sequel to one of Stephen King's most beloved terror tales written by the man himself? Consider our attention officially gotten!
