Jacob Tremblay Reunites With Director Mike Flanagan For Stephen King’s ‘Doctor Sleep’

Child actor Jacob Tremblay has already made a name for himself, starring in films like Before I Wake, Shut In, and The Predator. Now, the young man will reunite with Before I Wake director Mike Flanagan for Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining, Doctor Sleep, though his role in the adaptation has yet to be announced.
Tremblay joins previously announced cast members Ewan McGregor (Danny Torrance), Alex Essoe (Wendy Torrance), and Rebecca Ferguson (Rose).
On highways across America, a tribe of people called the True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless—mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, the True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the steam that children with the shining produce when they are slowly tortured to death.
Doctor Sleep is aiming for a January 2020 release date. As soon as we know more we’ll give you an update.
