The Shining (mini-series)
The Shining was a TV miniseries adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same name. The miniseries first aired in 1997, and was directed by Mick Garris and starred Steven Weber and Rebecca DeMornay.
King was widely known to have been unhappy with Stanley Kubrick's take on his work (the acclaimed 1980 feature film The Shining); this provided him with the impetus to re-acquire the rights to write another screenplay, which was the basis for the more-faithful TV miniseries. However, even this version revises the novel; while a number of plot elements and events are restored from the book, others are changed, in some cases differing both from the book and Kubrick's earlier film.
