Warner Bros. is going full-on horror in the coming years and has set the Mike Flanagan-directed The Shining sequel, Doctor Sleep, for release on November 8, 2019.

Carl Lumbly plays Dick Hallorann with Alex Essoe playing Wendy Torrance in the continuation of the storyline from The Shining. Kyliegh Curran has been cast in the role of Abra Stone, a girl who has the gift of ‘The Shining’. Bruce Greenwood plays the role of Dr. John. Alyn Lind is Snakebite Andi, with Jocelin Donahue also starring.

Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson also star. McGregor stars as the adult version of Danny Torrance, while Ferguson plays Rose the Hat. Jacob Tremblay could be playing a younger Danny.

Flanagan rewrote Akiva Goldsman’s adaptation of Stephen King’s 2013 novel that picks up the life of the Redrum kid when he is in his 40s and struggling with the same demons of anger and alcoholism that plagued his father.

In addition, they just announced The Witches, a remake of the Roald Dahl classic set to star Anne Hathaway, will put a spell on audiences October 16, 2020.

Hathaway will play the Grand High Witch in the new adaptation of Dahl’s 1983 novel, which was first adapted by director Nicolas Roeg back in 1990. Anjelica Huston memorably played the Grand High Witch in that film.

The film will be set in the Gothic South in the 1960s.

Guillermo del Toro and Alfonso Cuaron are on board to produce.
