Stephen King's Thoughts on 'The Shining'
Stephen King, possibly the most frequently-adapted author, has expressed his dissatisfaction with Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of 'The Shining'.
In 1980, King shared his thoughts with David Letterman, explaining why Kubrick's version left him disappointed.
King's works have been adapted over 100 times, but he hasn't always been happy with the results, with 'The Shining' being a notable example.
King has long bemoaned how Kubrick chose to relate the story of Jack Torrance, a writer who agrees to act as a winter caretaker for the remote and possibly-haunted Overlook Hotel with his wife and son.
Author's summary: King unhappy with Kubrick's 'The Shining' adaptation.
