Publisher: Scribner

Its been nearly 40 years ago since moviegoers saw Danny Torrance and his psychic powers called “the shining” in the 1980 film adaptation of the Steven King novel of the same name.

“Doctor Sleep” follows Danny (played by Ewan McGregor) now an adult, an alcoholic and battling the childhood trauma that he experienced with his family in the Overlook Hotel. This week, Warner Bros. unveiled the film’s creepy trailer, giving audiences a first look at Danny since the events in the hotel.

Written and directed by Mike Flanagan, who directed the highly underrated Oculus from 2013 and the hit Netflix series “The Haunting of the Hill House.”

The film co-stars Rebecca Ferguson (Mission: Impossible – Fallout) and child actress Kyliegh Curran. “Doctor Sleep” is set to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures on November 8, 2019.

By Creative Media Times

Universal Pictures

Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Pictures has dated the fifth and final film in the The Purge film franchise, now set to open on July 10, 2020. The upcoming film’s official has not yet been announced.

Originally created by James DeMonaco, the action horror-thriller film series released its first film in 2013. That film starred Ethan Hawke and became a surprise hit for Universal Pictures, grossing nearly $90 million against a budget of $3 million.

The series started out as a home invasion thriller which followed a family during an annual Purge, a 12-hour lawless period when all crime, including murder, is legal.

That film was followed a year later by The Purge: Anarchy in 2014, The Purge: Election Year in 2016 and then The First Purge in 2018, which was in fact a prequel. DeMonaco wrote all four films as well as directed the first three. Derin Jacob directed The First Purge.

Though the upcoming film may be the last, there is a tv series based on the film that runs on USA Network. Last November, it was announced that the show will return for a second season.

Stephen King’s 1975 horror novel is said to be getting a big screen treatment, with James Wan and Gary Dauberman collaborating on the project.

Salem’s Lot tells the story of a writer named Ben Mears who returns to the titular town of his youth, only to find out that its residents have become vampires.

The vampire novel is King’s second published novel, and one of his most popular. Surprisingly, the novel never received a big-screen adaptation. It was adapted in a TV series in 1979, and was updated in a mini-series in 2014 which aired on TNT.

Wan and Dauberman have worked together on The Conjuring Universe horror films, including Annabelle and The Nun, which were written by Dauberman.

Dauberman will also pen as well as executive produce Salem’s Lot, while Wan will serve as producer together with Roy Lee and Mark Wolper.

Wan was responsible for kick-starting the Conjuring Universe in 2013 with its first entry The Conjuring as well as its 2016 sequel The Conjuring 2. He also recently helmed DC’s Aquaman film for Warner Bros.
