Trivia
Possibles Danny Torrence
Besides Ewan McGregor, Dan Stevens, Chris Evans, Matt Smith and Jeremy Renner were considered and have met with the director for the lead role. Even John Cusack had expressed interest.
Stephen King and sequels
Although many of his books share the same universe, the author doesn't usually write continuations to his novels. This is why King had to remember some details from 'The Shining' that he had completely forgotten.
Previous experience adapting King
This is filmmaker Mike Flanagan's second adaptation of a Stephen King novel, since the Netflix film 'Gerald's Game' in 2017.
