Mark Romanek will direct a prequel to Stanley Kubrick's classic horror film The Shining. The upcoming film, which is currently titled Overlook Hotel, will be distributed by Warner Brothers.
Glen Mazzara (The Walking) has already submitted a script for the prequel. Brad Fischer, James Vanderbilt and Laeta Kalogridis will produce it.
According to Variety, which broke the news today, the prequel will "tell the origin story of the Overlook Hotel through the eyes of its first owner, Bob T. Watson. A robber baron at the turn of the 20th century, Watson scaled the remote peaks of the Colorado Rockies to build the grandest resort in America, and a place he and his family would also call home."
Stanley Kubrick's classic film is already out on Blu-ray, courtesy of Warner Brothers. You can see our listing and review of this release here.
