The prequel to “The Shining” has gotten a new director. The Overlook Hotel will be helmed by Mark Romanek according to a report from Variety.

The film is described as an origin story of the infamous hotel where The Shining took place. We will see the Overlook Hotel “through the eyes of its first owner, Bob T. Watson. A robber baron at the turn of the 20th century, Watson scaled the remote peaks of the Colorado Rockies to build the grandest resort in America, and a place he and his family would also call home.”

The prequel was first announced in 2012 but then it got pushed to the back burner. The initial writer and producer Laeta Kaldridis and her partners Bradley Fischer and James Vanderbilt are still working on the project. Former showrunner of “The Walking Dead” Glen Mazzara wrote the original script and is also involved.

There is no word yet on when production will begin or anticipated release date. However, if The Overlook Hotel actually continues it will likely be released sometime in 2016.
