Mark Romanek the genius video director turned good film director, Nine Inch Nails’ incredible “Closer” music video and One Hour Photo, is in negotiations to direct Warner Bros.’ Overlook Hotel, a prequel to the Stanley Kubrick classic The Shining, reports Variety.
My thought is he's visually perfect for this film. He has an eye for the creepy and unsettling.
Based on Stephen King’s original prologue to The Shining, which was cut from the book prior to publication in 1977, “the film 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“
In 2013, King published a “Shining” sequel “Dr. Sleep,” which Warners is also trying to get off the ground.
