The Shining Prequel Not Happening Because Doctor Sleep Slumped At The Box Office
According to director Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game, The Haunting of House Hill), Warner Bros. has shut the door on a The Shining prequel because of the underwhelming box office performance of his 2019-directed sequel, Doctor Sleep. In a tweet replying to fans, Flanagan explains they were “so close” to making a prequel happen, but the studio “opted not to proceed.”
Doctor Sleep was based on the 2013 Stephen King novel of the same name, and it’s unlikely that the iconic author will be penning a proper The Shining prequel anytime soon. The prolific King’s newest book, Fairy Tale, was published on September 6 and it already has Paul Greengrass (the Bourne series) attached to direct. Check out Flanagan’s exchange with a fan about the would-be prequel below, which was sparked by discussing a fan-made poster.
Because of DOCTOR SLEEP’s box office performance, Warner Bros opted not to proceed with it. They control the rights, so that was that.

In 2019, Doctor Sleep didn’t exactly win big with critics–even though it did include Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) and other big stars. Upon its release, it sat at 59 with Metacritic, with GameSpot’s Mason Downey writing, “[Director Mike] Flanagan finds ways to evoke the ambiance and tone of the Kubrick film that never overstay their welcome with cleverly matched shots, sound design, and character cameos. Even the handful of early flashbacks to Dan’s childhood manage to feel tasteful and appropriate.”

For the morning, the first step Strom suggests is to cleanse the skin before anything else.
After that, use a vitamin C serum next – Strom recommends Maelove, which also has vitamin E and Ferulic Acid.
“Also like CeraVe and L’Oreal,” said Strom.

Next is to moisturize and Strom recommends using either the Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer or the CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion.

Dad Photographs Son for Doctor. Google Flags Him as Criminal, Notifies Police
Mark’s wife grabbed her husband’s phone and texted a few high-quality close-ups of their son’s groin area to her iPhone so she could upload them to the health care provider’s messaging system. In one, Mark’s hand was visible, helping to better display the swelling. Mark and his wife gave no thought to the tech giants that made this quick capture and exchange of digital data possible, or what those giants might think of the images. With help from the photos, the doctor diagnosed the issue and prescribed antibiotics, which quickly cleared it up….
Two days after taking the photos of his son, Mark’s phone made a blooping notification noise: His account had been disabled because of “harmful content” that was “a severe violation of Google’s policies and might be illegal.” A “learn more” link led to a list of possible reasons, including “child sexual abuse & exploitation….” He filled out a form requesting a review of Google’s decision, explaining his son’s infection. At the same time, he discovered the domino effect of Google’s rejection. Not only did he lose emails, contact information for friends and former colleagues, and documentation of his son’s first years of life, his Google Fi account shut down, meaning he had to get a new phone number with another carrier. Without access to his old phone number and email address, he couldn’t get the security codes he needed to sign in to other internet accounts, locking him out of much of his digital life….
A few days after Mark filed the appeal, Google responded that it would not reinstate the account, with no further explanation. Mark didn’t know it, but Google’s review team had also flagged a video he made and the San Francisco Police Department had already started to investigate him…. In December 2021, Mark received a manila envelope in the mail from the San Francisco Police Department. It contained a letter informing him that he had been investigated as well as copies of the search warrants served on Google and his internet service provider. An investigator, whose contact information was provided, had asked for everything in Mark’s Google account: his internet searches, his location history, his messages and any document, photo and video he’d stored with the company. The search, related to “child exploitation videos,” had taken place in February, within a week of his taking the photos of his son.
Mark called the investigator, Nicholas Hillard, who said the case was closed. Mr. Hillard had tried to get in touch with Mark but his phone number and email address hadn’t worked….
Mark appealed his case to Google again, providing the police report, but to no avail…. A Google spokeswoman said the company stands by its decisions…
“The day after Mark’s troubles started, the same scenario was playing out in Texas,” the Times notes, quoting a technologist at the EFF who speculates other people experiencing the same thing may not want to publicize it. “There could be tens, hundreds, thousands more of these.”
Reached for a comment on the incident, Google told the newspaper that “Child sexual abuse material is abhorrent and we’re committed to preventing the spread of it on our platforms.”
