They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and quarantine has the potential to suffocate those who crave conversation and discussion, especially about pop culture and movies. Ex-New Yorker and current Texan Peter Marsh felt that strain and used his time off to create his own YouTube channel, AnchorPete, in which he does movie and book reviews and interviews with genre authors. Through a mutual friend, he contacted Chris D’Onofrio and me to do a horror podcast focusing on our favorite director, Mike Flanagan. After two successful shows on his channel, the three of us have created The Lasser Cast, a new channel and horror review video podcast now on YouTube.

The upcoming adaptation of Stephen King‘s sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep, isn’t arriving in theaters until November. A bit of a bummer for those who were wishing they could see it this Halloween season.

But now some people will have a chance to see it early. It’s been announced that Fandango is bringing the movie to theaters early for one night only, and just in time for Halloween.

Warner Bros. has released a featurette for Doctor Sleep, an adaptation of Stephen King‘s sequel to The Shining starring Ewan McGregor as a grown up Danny Torrance.

The featurette includes clips from the movie, paired with writer and director Mike Flanagan, McGregor, and King himself sharing their thoughts on the story and the sequel. You can check out the video below along with a lengthy synopsis.

Warner Bros. released the second trailer to Doctor Sleep, a sequel to Stephen King‘s The Shining. Written and directed by Mike Flanagan, the upcoming film stars Ewan McGregor as an older Dan Torrance who has fought to put the past traumas he experienced as a child at the Overlook Hotel behind him.

Check out the trailer here below.

Warner Bros. Pictures has released the first trailer for Doctor Sleep, an adaptation of author Stephen King‘s sequel to the horror classic The Shining which we first found out could happen 10 years ago now.

The movie stars Ewan McGregor as the all grown up Danny Torrance, decades after we saw him dealing with some unthinkably horrifying experiences in The Shining. In it, Torrance finds himself meeting a girl who shares his unique gift—or curse—who is hoping he can help her.

Netflix has ordered a follow-up to Oculus and Hush writer and director Mike Flanagan‘s hit horror series The Haunting of Hill House. But it’s not going to be a direct season two.

Instead, Netflix is turning the show into an anthology. The second season, which has been revealed as The Haunting of Bly Manor, will tell a brand new story with different characters from the ones followed in the first season.

Last year we found out that Netflix had given The Haunting of Hill House a 10-episode straight to series order. The show would come from Mike Flanagan, Steven Spielberg‘s Amblin TV, and Paramount Television.

After that it was revealed that the cast would include Carla Gugino, Michiel Huisman, Henry Thomas, Elizabeth Reaser, and Kate Siegel.

Now Netflix has released an official trailer for The Haunting of Hill House, which you can find below along with more info.

Young Danny Torrance from Stephen King‘s horror classic The Shining is all grown up in the author’s sequel, Doctor Sleep. And now an actor has been chosen to play adult Danny in the film adaptation of that sequel.

It’s being reported that Ewan McGregor (Trainspotting, Star Wars) has signed on to play Torrance in the project, which is being directed by Mike Flanagan for Warner Brothers.

Gerald’s Game
Based on the novel by Stephen King
Written by Jeff Howard and Mike Flanagan
Directed by Mike Flanagan
Starring Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, Carel Struycken, Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel
Netflix
Released date: September 29, 2017

The new film Gerald’s Game marks the fourth Stephen King adaptation of 2017. This summer’s The Dark Tower was universally panned and flopped at the box office, yet It, conversely, is currently breaking box office records. Mr. Mercedes is a television series on a new platform, AT&T’s Audience Network, while Gerald’s Game landed on Netflix right before Halloween season officially begins. King’s novel Gerald’s Game was published in May 1992 and remained one of the author’s lesser-known works until Netflix optioned it. Directed by Mike Flanagan, one of horror’s up and coming auteurs, who co-wrote the screenplay with collaborator Jeff Howard, the results are a tour-de-force of filmmaking and acting that needs to be watched, albeit from between the fingers of your hand covering your face.

The latest adaptation of Stephen King‘s IT is in theaters this week, and it’s getting rave reviews and looks like it’s going to be a box office hit as well. But that’s not the only King adaptation coming this month. Netflix has a movie based on the author’s Gerald’s Game coming soon, and they’ve released a first trailer for it.

The movie comes from Oculus, Hush, Absentia, and Ouija: Origin of Evil director Mike Flanagan, and it stars Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, Henry Thomas, and Kate Siegel.
