The project is based on Stephen King's novel. Glen Mazzara, the former showrunner on 'The Walking Dead', is in talks to write the script, reported Ace Showbiz.
The original film, released in 1980, starred Jack Nicholson as Jack Torrance, a father who brings his wife and son to an isolated hotel for the winter.
Due to an evil presence in the hotel, Torrance goes crazy and becomes violent. It's based on a novel of the same name by Stephen King. A follow-up book titled 'Doctor Sleep' was released in 2013.
