With his Dan Rather scandal-themed journalism drama "Truth" scoring potential awards notices, writer/director James Vanderbilt is looking forward to the next few months. One project he has in the works though will test him - the previously announced prequel to Stephen King's "The Shining" which he's slated to produce. Stanely Kubrick's original film adaptation is still considered one of the landmark films of the horror genre, so anyone attempting a remake, sequel, a prequel or a reboot is bound to draw a lot of ire - like Mick Garris scored in 1997 with his mini-series adaptation despite the project nabbing two Emmy awards. The signing of Mark Romanek ("Never Let Me Go," "One Hour Photo") to helm, Glen Mazzara ("The Walking Dead," "Damien") to script and Vanderbilt to produce the project has raised curiosity and interest.
