Christine I recall reading that after seeing the movie, King insisted on maintaining artistic control of all future movies! Read "The Shining". Just Do IT!…moreI recall reading that after seeing the movie, King insisted on maintaining artistic control of all future movies! Read "The Shining". Just Do IT!(less)
