Warner Bros. Planning New Two New Movies: ‘The Shining Prequel, ‘Space Invaders

Date:

Warner Bros. is currently making moves and ramping up production for several new feature films.

Variety reports that Mark Romanek will direct Overlook hotel, a Glen Mazzara-scrpited prequel to Stephen King’s 1977 book The Shiningabout the early days of the Overlook Hotel, that were glimpsed in the final scenes of the Stanley-Kubrick directed movie.

It is interesting to note that Stephen King did not really like Stanely Kubrick’s original take on his great novel, but even though it’s much different from Stephen King’s classic novel.

Warner Bros. is also planning on developing Space Invaders, based on the 1980s Japanese import arcade game.

Space Invaders served as inspiration for the upcoming movie Pixels, which stars Adam Sandler and Peter Dinklage and was based on a Patrick Jean-directed short film of the same name. It too will feature an alien invasion inspired by — and, in the film, caused by — classic arcade games.

Hollywood has designs on turning other classic arcade games, like Asteroids and Missile Command, into feature films.
