![]() As we gathered to speak at length about the filming process, we were ushered into their recreation of (a much older, much more worse-for-wear) Room 237, where Flanagan took the time to answer questions. He and his production designers went to every length possible to create a faithful recreation of the iconic location-and their attention to detail didn't stop there. As he lead us through through the Colorado Lounge set, he'd pause, point out the tiniest details-photos on the wall, patterning on pillows, even the number of books on shelves -and cite frames from the Kubrick original. Instead, he welcomed the challenge - even though the idea was "scarier in practice than it was in concept." It's impossible not to feel Flanagan's enthusiasm-and similarly, his reverence-for the story when speaking with him. ![]() Doctor Sleep was always destined to be a complicated thing, considering the legacy that surrounds its predecessor, but the looming shadow of both Kubrick and King is not something Flanagan had any interest in trying to dodge or duck around. ![]()
