Movie sequel to ‘The Shining’ films scenes on Georgia coast
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — A movie sequel to Stephen King’s horror classic “The Shining” has begun filming on the Georgia coast.
Filmmakers set up vehicles including large RVs, a tent, beach chairs, a picnic table and a fire pit on the beach at St. Simons Island for scenes being shot Tuesday and Wednesday for the movie “Doctor Sleep,” based on King’s 2013 book of the same name, The Brunswick News reported .
The Warner Brothers production stars Ewan McGregor as an adult Danny Torrance, last seen as a child with psychic powers in the Stanley Kubrick-directed 1980 film “The Shining.”
A filming permit issued by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources said the scenes being shot on St. Simons Island feature a group of actors camping on the beach.
