“I always wondered what happened to Danny when he grew up,” King says of the young character with psychic powers at the center of his bookand later adapted into the 1980 Stanley Kubrick-directed film. “And I felt I had a story to tell.”at a slumber party, explained that for, an adult Danny Torrance continues to be haunted by what took place at the Overlook Hotel all those years ago.
King said what he wanted to see conveyed in the film is a man who was at the end of his rope. “You can’t really recover until you’ve finally reached your bottom,” he says. “And I wanted to see that in Dan on the screen.” The clip weaves their interviews in between footage from the film. In one scene, the adult Danny, portrayed by McGregor, is chugging liquor from a bottle. “Dan Torrance’s philosophy early on in the story is not to use ‘the shining,'” McGregor explains. “He’s drunk to suppress the horrible visitations, the spirits that are from the Overlook Hotel.”
