Stephen King didn't want Jack Nicholson to play Jack Torrance because he was in "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" and that people would know that Jack would go nuts. King did base Jack on himself and his alcoholism. Great job though.

Thanks. Yeah, I've heard how much King hates the movie, but I think Kubrick was able to make something special and his own out of the material. And Jack, you either love his performance or hate it. Personally, this is one of my all time fav movies.

Cool. YEah it is, but as a writer, I can understand King's dislike for it.

You're welcome, Jack Nicholson is one of my faves!
