Talk:The Shining (miniseries)

Both Versions left something out

 * The 1980 movie had the great scene with Nickolson leering through the door "HEERSS JOHNNY" but petered out at the end with him freezing to death; The 1987 was faithful to the orginal story ending-but the chase scene between Jack and Wendy petered out as well. Prehaps it would have been a great Movie mini-series-with the Jack Nickolson/Wendy chase scene from 1980-and it ended as filmed in 1987 mini-series??


 * Um, this series was released in 1997, not 1987. My memory is hazy as it's been a number of years since I last read the novel, but I don't remember there being that big a chase sequence in it between Jack and Wendy. Kingpin1055 09:05, 13 October 2006 (UTC)


 * 1997 corrected!!!

Running time

 * We sure about the number of episodes/running time? It says there are 3 episodes and 65 minutes per episode / 273 minutes, total. 3 * 65 = 195. Wheres the other 78 minutes coming from?
 * I've seen it split into two and three episodes depending on the media... it was two episodes for the VHS version and three for the DVD... I don't have access to them at the moment but I'll try get the length of the full miniseries when I get home.-Kingpin1055 11:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Plot Summary
The plot summary is written like the back of a DVD box - has anyone seen this and have enough recollection to write out a proper summary? --Brandon (talk) 18:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree. I was going to comment on this. The plot summary is much more remeniscent of a promo than the actual story. Sevey13 (talk) 01:36, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Clarification needed in “Inspirations”
Why would King need Kubrick’s permission to make another adaptation of his (King’s) own story? Felicity4711 (talk) 06:18, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
