The highly-anticipated follow-up to Stephen King's iconic haunted hotel film, The Shining, has just earned a release date. Doctor Sleep is based on the King novel of the same name. It will land in theaters on January 24, 2020.
Stephen King's website describes the story, "Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel where he spent one horrific childhood year, Danny Torrance has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father?s legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant 'shining' power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes 'Doctor Sleep.' Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan?s own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra?s soul and survival."
