The Shining is one of Stephen King's earliest works, and is still considered one of his greatest. Stanley Kubrick's adaptation was critically acclaimed, and it appears that Alfonso Cuarón may direct the planned prequel "The Overlook Hotel." /film said a year ago that Glen Mazzara is writing the screenplay, but it is unknown if he has been replaced or it really is her script that Cuarón may direct. According to the SCHMOES KNOW's scoop, Cuarón is the top choice for the role, and it would be his if he wants it. It was also rumored a while ago that he would also direct Warner Bros.'s Fantastic Beasts & Where To Find Them, so it is quite possible that he would be directing The Overlook Hotel after he's finished with Fantastic Beasts. Although we are not sure of the exact plot, you can speculate simply based on the title. What do you think of the idea of a spin-off to The Shining? Sound off below!

You don't know who I am? Well sit back because my story is a beautiful tale of power and integrity, a captivating experience and ingenious story.

When I was sent to prison for a crime I didn't commit, I signed up for the weapon X program where I got some acid stuff in my eye which caused me to go blind except for whenever I shout the word, "SHAZAM." I was part of Project: Rebirth and given an indestructible shield, however I had gotten bitten by a radioactive spider which caused my father Odin to banish me from my home, only for both my parents to get shot in an alley. And to top it all off, I was exposed to gamma radiation when my mother died and I was abducted from Earth by a strange blue-skinned alien, which gave me the ability to teleport, shapeshift, read minds, and squirt milk from my nose.
