Filming has wrapped on director Mike Flanagan‘s Stephen King adaptation Doctor Sleep, the sequel to The Shining. Flanagan has teamed up again with the Newton Brothers (interview) to compose the film’s score. The Newton Brothers, whose real names are Taylor Stewart and Andy Gush, and Flanagan have worked together twice before, first on the King adaptation Gerald’s Game and then again on Netflix’s haunting series “The Haunting of Hill House.” The Shining is such an impressive piece of work in all forms, and Doctor Sleep picks up from that in such a brilliant way. Stephen King is incomparable,” the Newton Brothers said. “Working with Mike is an incredible honor every time. The material he works with, the stories he tells and adapts, the talent, the crew, the producers … everyone involved brings their A-game every time and it inspires us to create the absolute best score for the film that we possibly can. It’s humbling to be on this team.”
