Creator Mike Flanagan details how his scrapped Doctor Sleep spinoff would have featured IT's Pennywise and act as a proper prequel to The Shining.
As he gears up for his return to Stephen King's world, Mike Flanagan details how his scrapped Doctor Sleep spinoff would've featured IT's Pennywise the Clown. The 2019 movie acted as both an adaptation of King's Shining sequel novel and Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the prior novel, exploring an adult Danny Torrance as he faced off against a group of psychic vampires known as the True Knot, and his own childhood trauma.
I had a great thing for the Dick Hallorann movie, which I was so excited about, which is him as a young man starting in Derry and had a little overlap with IT. Because in the canon, little Richie Halloran has an encounter with Pennywise as a young man. Then it was gonna be this whole other thing where he joins the army and ends up trying to work in law enforcement in New Orleans in a heavily segregated police department and is up against a kind of a cousin to the True Knot.
Then he goes up to Room 237 and has a weird thing with the bathtub and it flashes back to all the stuff in his life. Then at the end of the story we come back to him in the Overlook and they say the caretakers here. He'd come downstairs to meet them in the lobby and you think it's the Torrance family, but it isn't. It's Delbert Grady and his twin daughters and his wife. And you realize you're seeing the beginning of that story.
