Overlook (David fincher The Shining Biopic) (2027)

A biopic of the making of the 1980 classic The Shining

Step behind the locked doors of Room 237 and into the cold heart of genius gone mad. From visionary director David Fincher comes a descent into the making of The Shining — a film that consumed its cast, its crew, and its legendary director, Stanley Kubrick. It’s 1979. Warner Bros. has given Kubrick total freedom — and he’s determined to build the ultimate nightmare, brick by brick, take by take. Inside London’s Elstree Studios, he transforms a soundstage into a snow-bound maze of obsession. Days turn to months. The cameras never stop rolling. And young actress Shelley Duvall (portrayed with raw brilliance by Mia Goth) finds herself trapped between the role she’s playing and the fear that’s consuming her for real. As conspiracy theories bloom and paranoia spreads through the corridors, Vincent D’Onofrio delivers a powerhouse performance as Kubrick — equal parts god, ghost, and prisoner of his own perfection. Every frame blurs the line between fiction and madness, between the Overlook Hotel and the set that birthed it. With a haunting score by Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross and Fincher’s trademark precision, OVERLOOK pulls you into a world where art becomes possession — and no one walks out unchanged.
