Alfonso Cuaron Offered The Shining Prequel 'The Overlook Hotel'
SchmoesKnow is reporting that an offer is out for Alfonso Cuaron to direct The Overlook Hotel, a prequel to The Shining. No plot details have been released, but it's believed that the script is from former The Walking Dead showrunner Glen Mazzara. The powerful screenwriting team assembled for this movie includes Laeta Kalogridis (Shutter Island), Bradley Fischer (Zodiac) and James Vanderbilt (The Amazing Spider-Man). With both Beasts and Overlook on the table, Cuaron might select one, both or neither films to helm, as he's basically got a blank check after Gravity grossed $716 million worldwide.
