ITF Watch: Doctor Sleep (2019 film)

Director Mike Flanagan takes on the immense challenge of making a
film that is both a sequel to Stephen King’s 1977 classic novel
THE SHINING and Stanley Kubrick’s iconic 1980 film of the same
name with his movie, DOCTOR SLEEP. In episode 114, Luke &
James discuss where the ambitious movie succeeds, and where it
might miss the mark. 


 


Spoilers Begin: 36:49


Topics: what makes for a good sequel, the definition of “art
house,” the value of callbacks & references, reaction to the
recasting of Jack and Wendy Torrance, how this compares to Ready
Player One’s Shining references, Jacob Tremblay’s on-set antics,
Rebecca Ferguson’s scene-stealing Rose the Hat performance, what
may and may not be in Ewan McGregor's wheelhouse, and the
unification of the original novel and movie’s climactic moments.
