NEWS: Rumor Control -- 'The Shining' Prequel?

 Here's some bugging news on the blog-o-sphere. Get this: Warner Bros. is actually in talks to make a prequel to the 80's horror, 'The Shining'.

Los Angeles Times said that one person who is familiar in the 1980 Kubrick horror film who is unauthorized to spill the beans, publicly told them that Warner Brothers is also negotiating with screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis (the one behind the screenplays of the third 'Scream' and the recent Scorsese's 'Shutter Island) to work as producer alongside 'Shutter Island' colleagues Bradley Fischer and James Vanderbilt.

The prequel is said to focus on the events that happened in Overlook Hotel before Jack Torrance went crazy and tried to kill his wife and son. 'The Shining' was a 1980 horror film by celebrated director Stanley Kubrick, sourced from a 1977 same-name Stephen King novel.

One Warner Bros spokesperson however clarified that any 'Shining' prequel should be in a very early stage and is not yet even approved to be formally undergo development.

In my own, 'The Shining' is already an epic horror film that a prequel of any sort may not be a necessity at all, anymore. There is nothing left to be covered besides the freaky pig-mask BJ scene. I'd buy it if they'd clear this thing out.

While the prequel is still walking in the middle of yes and no, a Stephen King book will surely be released. 'Doctor Sleep' is the sequel to his 1977 hit-print, 'The Shining'. Visit his website for more information about this approaching printed pleasure!
