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)

Article status

Needs to be cleaned up some more. (Sugar Bear 02:29, 13 December 2005 (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)
