Ewan McGregor to play adult Danny Torrance in Mike Flanagan's Shining sequel
Ewan McGregor is going to have to start getting some practice riding a Big Wheel through the hallways of a spooky hotel, because he has signed on to play Danny Torrance in Mike Flanagan’s Doctor Sleep, the adaptation of Stephen King’s sequel to The Shining. That comes from Variety, which says King has “given his blessing” to McGregor’s casting, so hopefully he’s not preparing to disavow this like he has Stanley Kubrick’s version of The Shining. Also, McGregor’s great, so he can totally pull off the many Big Wheel scenes that we’re sure will be in Doctor Sleep.
