Alfonso Cuarón, director of HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN and GRAVITY, is reportedly in talks to direct THE OVERLOOK HOTEL, Warner Bros’ planned prequel to THE SHINING we brought you news of last year. This marks the second appearance by the acclaimed filmmaker in the news this week, with Cuarón also linked with the upcoming Harry Potter spin-off, FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM.

Though it’s been over 12 months since THE OVERLOOK HOTEL was first announced (with ex-WALKING DEAD showrunner Glen Mazzara penning the screenplay), little has progressed in terms of casting or story details, but with Cuarón in talks, it looks like we’ll be hearing more on the project very soon. Stay tuned…
