"The world will shine again."
Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for Doctor Sleep, revealing more details about the plot along with more footage set at the infamous Overlook Hotel. The film is based on the book by Stephen King, which serves as a sequel to the author's horror masterpiece, The Shining.
Still irrevocably scarred by the trauma he endured as a child at the Overlook, Dan Torrance has fought to find some semblance of peace. But that peace is shattered when he encounters Abra, a courageous teenager with her own powerful extrasensory gift, known as the "shine." Instinctively recognizing that Dan shares her power, Abra has sought him out, desperate for his help against the merciless Rose the Hat and her followers, The True Knot, who feed off the shine of innocents in their quest for immortality. Forming an unlikely alliance, Dan and Abra engage in a brutal life-or-death battle with Rose. Abra's innocence and fearless embrace of her shine compel Dan to call upon his own powers as never before—at once facing his fears and reawakening the ghosts of the past.
Check out the final trailer below!
The movie stars Ewan McGregor as Dan Torrance, Rebecca Ferguson as Rose the Hat, and Kyliegh Curran as Abra. Additional cast members include Carl Lumbly, Zahn McClarnon, Emily Alyn Lind, Bruce Greenwood, Jocelin Donahue, Alex Essoe, and Cliff Curtis.
Doctor Sleep comes from writer/director Mike Flanagan (Hush, Oculus, Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House). Trevor Macy and Jon Berg serve as producers on the film. Meanwhile Roy Lee, Scott Lumpkin, Akiva Goldsman and Kevin McCormick are all on board as executive producers. The movie is set to hit theaters on November 8, 2019.
