"IMAX has announced that Stanley Kubrick's The Shining will be re-released in IMAX beginning on December 12, a fitting date for the movie's wintry setting. Kubrick's 1980 film, based on Stephen King's novel, follows writer Jack Torrance (Jack Nicholson) as he accepts a position as winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, bringing his wife Wendy (Shelley Duvall) and son Danny (Danny Lloyd) to spend the season there alone. But the hotel is not what it seems, and Jack soon finds himself under its strange influence."
"The Shining is one of the most iconic and influential horror movies of all time, and even spawned a 2019 sequel, Mike Flanagan's Doctor Sleep, also based on a King novel. The Shining has also had renewed relevance in recent weeks, as the HBO prequel series It: Welcome to Derry, another King adaptation, has introduced a younger version of Richard Hallorann, the elderly man in The Shining who recognizes that Danny shares his telepathic powers."
IMAX will re-release Stanley Kubrick's The Shining beginning December 12 for a limited IMAX run timed to the film's winter setting. The film follows Jack Torrance as he becomes the Overlook Hotel winter caretaker, bringing wife Wendy and son Danny into the hotel's isolating and supernatural environment. The Shining holds iconic status in horror and led to a 2019 sequel, Doctor Sleep. Recent King adaptations like It: Welcome to Derry have renewed interest by spotlighting character backstories tied to The Shining. The IMAX presentation is a first for the film and will be available only briefly before other IMAX releases take over.
