Doctor Sleep: Stephen King’s Shining sequel to be made into a film

The plot picks up the story of Danny Torrence, the boy with psychic powers in The Shining, years after the traumatic events in the Overlook Hotel. Now Torrence develops a psychic link to a 12-year-old girl who he must save after she gets involved with a sinister group of paranormals.

King will be an executive producer on the project but a director is yet to be confirmed.

This is the first of King adaptations in the pipeline. Others include Cell, with John Cusack and Samuel L Jackson, and The Dark Tower, starring Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey.
