I read the book, I'd seen both the mini-series and the movie. I recently saw Dr. Sleep, written by King (which he claims to have written because fans were inundating him with requests to tell the story of what happened to Danny Torrence, sure they were Mr. King.). So I decided to re-watch this. Strangely, in Dr. Sleep things happen in Danny's memories that were not in this film, but in Stanley Kubrick's. For example, Danny remembers riding his big wheel in the hallways and seeing the twin girls. But Stephen, that was in Mr. Kubricks film, not yours! There are many other examples of this, and Mr. King wrote it, and took things from Stanley Kubrick's film. And Tony, unlike Mr. Kings film, wasn't Daniel Anthony Torrence's older self, but an imaginary friend. Dr. Sleep ends at the hotel, which actually burned to the ground at the end of King's version of the film. But in Dr. Sleep, it hasn't burned down, it's been condemned. The walls are still standing, there's wallpaper on the walls. There was obviously not fire there. It seems honestly, that Dr. Sleep continues on from Stanley Kubrick's film. Not this mini-series. Very strange Mr. King :)
