When Jack hears his father on the CB radio, the voice belongs to actor Miguel Ferrer. Ferrer was also in the TV mini-series version of The Stand (1994), also directed by Mick Garris.
Jack goes to the shed to get an insect-bomb. As he leaves, he places the canister under his arm. When seen from the outside, the canister has switched arms.
Is this a remake of the Stanley Kubrick movie "The Shining"?
A
No. Both movies are inspired by the Stephen King novel "The Shining", but this version does not draw any inspiration from Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the novel. The creation of this miniseries is attributed to Stephen King's dissatisfaction with the 1980 version of the story by director Stanley Kubrick.
