Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film is now considered a horror movie masterpiece. So it begs the question: Who would dare make a remake of it? Well, Stephen King — the book’s author – hated the film and helmed the 1997 remake, readapting the book himself into a teleplay. The film aired as a three-part miniseries on ABC and starred Stephen Weber, best known for his role on the TV show Wings, in the role of Jack Torrance. While fans of King well argue that 1997 film is a faithful — therefore better — adaption of the book, it is still inferior to Kubrick’s classic film.
