People will be “really excited” by prequel to The Shining, says producer

October 6, 2015 by Tom Beasley

Overlook Hotel, the long-gestating prequel to Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining will be “completely its own film”, according to producer James Vanderbilt in Collider.

Vanderbilt, promoting his own directorial debut Truth, praised director Mark Romanek (Never Let Me Go) as “a strong filmmaker with his own convictions” and discussed the film’s identity. “You want a real filmmaker like Mark doing it… honestly I think people will really be excited about it, because it’s not like ’20 Years Before The Shining!’.

“I don’t want to give too much away about the story but the way [screenwriter] Glen [Mazzara] cracked it and the way Mark has sort of cracked it, it’s completely it’s own film, which I think is super smart.”

Overlook Hotel is currently in pre-production.
