We’ve known since earlier this year that Mike Flanagan was the person tasked with adapting Stephen King’s The Shining sequel, Doctor Sleep. And now, the movie has finally been given a set release date.

As revealed by Warner Brothers, Doctor Sleep has been booked in for a January 24th, 2020 release. At present, Flanagan is rewriting a screenplay initially put together by Akiva Goldsman, and Trevor Macy and Vertigo’s Jon Berg Goldsman are on board as executive producers.

To many genre fans, Flanagan is as good a fit as any to oversee Doctor Sleep, with him having impressed many with the likes of Oculus, Hush, Before I Wake and Ouija: Origin of Evil, not to mention having already directed an adaptation of King’s Gerald’s Game.

The synopsis for Doctor Sleep reads:

Doctor Sleep takes place years after the events at the Overlook Hotel and focuses on the now middle-aged Danny who is still traumatized. He’s followed in his father’s footsteps and has problems with anger management and alcoholism. He soon gives up drinking and settles in a small town in New Hampshire. While there, his psychic abilities start to resurface and he develops a psychic link with a 12-year-old girl named Abra Stone who he must save after he discovers her life is being threatened by a tribe of paranormals led by a man named Rose the Hat.

It’s not known just yet whether the big screen take on Doctor Sleep will actually acknowledge any of the previous adaptations of The Shining, but be sure that we’ll bring you more on all of this as we get it.
