DOCTOR SLEEP interviews (spoilers) - Mike Flanagan, Rebecca Ferguson, Ewan McGregor, Curran

(WARNING: MINOR SPOILERS). Entertainment Reporter and film critic, Kevin McCarthy, sat down with Mike Flanagan, Rebecca Ferguson, Ewan McGregor and Kyliegh Curran for Stephen King’s Doctor Sleep.

[@TheBreathless24]

Rebecca Ferguson is such a natural beauty. She's absolutely gorgeous!

[@spring802007]

I agree

[@sonesunny7632]

I loved her acting in the movie Life.

[@chantellecomas1286]

agree!

[@jmferris1138]

She is so beautiful, i could die. No, literally.

[@thecowboy9698]

When I saw the trailer, I thought she was Michelle Pfeifer. I mean she looked so much like her.

[@joeyslade3931]

I am in love with Rebecca Ferguson

[@RizztrainingOrder]

My Lord! Agreed! Can have my steam anytime!

[@rondavis6700]

I have never seen such a beautiful woman before!

[@johnnydaller]

It is not just the looks. Posh British accent makes women 10 times more beautiful.

[@sweiland75]

@@johnnydaller What's strange is that she is Scottish and speaking with an English accent.

[@johnnydaller]

@@sweiland75 Her father is Swedish and her mother English. This is her natural accent and the Irish accent is for her role.

[@Dufrense1978]

It bomb at the boxoffice. What a shame. Such a brilliant movie. Watched it 3 times and never a second was i bored.

[@spencerpommier806]

honestly I think it's going to make its money back once it hits digital and if anything it will help everyone else's career due to fan feedback and the general positive reviews, get it five years the movie will be seen as a cult classic

[@mistyapril29]

A bomb? So it's second to a war movie on veterans weekend? OK, that's obviously nothing to do with the movies quality

[@christophertom5552]

I like the movie. But not what I was expecting for a sequel. There were a lot of things my girlfriend and I questioned. One for example was where the hell did the knots come from? To me, I was expecting the I Overlook hotel to be more of an emphasis throughout the movie, but it wasn't until later

[@incogniftoar3943]

Longer duration, less screening time. Also non-fans or moviegoers would avoid a 2,5 hours movie

[@DoNutx777]

Well I think they made a bold move to call it solely as Stephen King's Doctor Sleep instead of The Shining:Chapter Two. Add that to a minimal marketing, it's a miracle they could broke the box office. But it's more rewarding for true fans...

[@AshtonGleckman]

I have a hard time thinking of a better researched, genuinely curious, passionate interviewer. Seriously man, amazing questions.

[@Dorkalest]

He's really good

[@TheLonesomeChef]

I disagree. Like does anyone really give a shit if its shot on 35mm or digital? Does anyone really care if this or that was done on CGI or with practical effects? These are literally the only questions he asks interview after interview. It's a very self-indulgent form of interviewing of asking questions that are so esoteric its more to satisfy his own nerdy curiosity. And the dorky over excitement with the talent is starting to feel manipulative.

[@ProffessorLazarus]

​@@TheLonesomeChef Would you prefer that he asked the same dull questions that nearly every other interviewer asks? Compare his interviews with any other press junkets for the same film and you'll see that the actors/directors are visibly enthralled by his questions. Remember that the people he interviews are film enthusiasts themselves and that 90% of the people watching these videos are film enthusiasts too, so you can't seriously think that no-one cares about how a film is shot.

[@AshtonGleckman]

TheLonesomeChef bull. I can look at any one of the other 300 interviews for this film to get the answers to the same old same old questions. Kevin asks genuinely unique questions which I find super admirable. Plus, his passion about film is radiating, which is unique in interviewers now of days.

[@chrisebert7989]

kinda sounded like Chris Farley in the SNL skits, especially with the director...."that was awesome"..."I so thought it was real"

[@jasonlamb9400]

I've never seen an interviewer like this and I love him. He's fantastic: his questions, his enthusiasm & passion, his charm without trying to be, all that. Great interview. And Rebecca Ferguson, love her.

[@i8qiwjwjduwi]

This interviewer was perfect, you could see he's actually a fan

[@eafjr76]

Rebecca Ferguson is menacingly terrifying in her character as Rose The Hat. Amazing performance. 👍🏿

[@bluepolarbear]

Well... Hi there...!

[@cristaniancatembung1160]

Well, hi there! I totally agree!

[@Thyy1]

Sexy too!

[@rondavis6700]

Rebecca Ferguson...most beautiful woman in the world! Seriously. Also, I always am amazed at how the actors/actresses lose their natural accents and why they are chosen instead of American ones. It must be very difficult. Excellent job to all! BTW, did I mention the beauty of Rebecca Ferguson?

[@Beulzabob]

Haunting beauty in a non-ghostly way.

[@nedschneebly4829]

This was my introduction to her. I agree she is wonderful.

[@JaymeSplendid]

Seriously, Stephan King "movies" have been hit or miss, mostly miss but these past few years have been hit after hit after hit. Finally a movie to do his books justice. Doctor Sleep is SUCH a good book.

[@hamhockbeans]

Would you be on if King wrote a prequel to the Shining. Maybe call it the Overlook. The first novel the Shining told alot of history from that hotel even the story behind the lady in the tub.

[@johansmallberries9874]

hamhockbeans maybe find out what happened at the New Year’s Eve ball 1921..

[@hamhockbeans]

@@johansmallberries9874 That could be near the end of the movie. Everyone dies and the music play and as the camera zoom out the front door it closes on its own. ... 😶😱 damn just thinking about that is creepy.

[@AREA-jp8vb]

I think filmmakers are getting better at understanding and bringing forward the undertones of Stephen King’s writing. The stuff that makes his story’s so good.

[@TheProphegy]

Rebecca Ferguson was the best performance of the film. Her character was delivered so well that it’s hard to believe she was just a character and not a real person. All of her scenes with the little girl Abra was amazing.

[@Fahrenheitluverxoxo]

TBH I think the best performance was of a cameo character and that was the baseball kid scene. It was such a visceral scene.

[@collincusick8464]

Jeannie that’s Jacob Tremblay. He’s a pretty good actor. Did very well in that scene, was so scary

[@nedschneebly4829]

@@Fahrenheitluverxoxo I'm with you. Not taking away from Rebecca and Ewan but my god- Jacob came in for a small cameo on his birthday, with no direction, and shocked everyone with his incredible performance. Flanagan said "I'm going to get out of Jacob's way" because he worked with him before, saw Room, and knew he was dealing with an all-time great. When accomplished actors are moved to the point of tears and struggling to stay in character in the presence of a child prodigy, you know that he is incredibly special. I hope he stays strong, successful, humble and happy, because this is the tip of the iceberg for him.

[@eaglewinnings8003]

[@L-Rod]

Watched it last night. Loved it. I am officially a fan of Flanagan as horror director. Perfect sequel to The Shining.

[@buibuddha]

She was so THUG. Blew me away, absolutely!

[@Blorp52]

Can you believe it’s her first role?

[@thegreatmrt]

Glad they chose her and not someone that was terrible like the kid who played Danny in King's tv version of the shining.

Doctor Sleep is so scary! Dark · Creepy · Intense · Suspenseful · Disturbing · Haunting #doctorsleep

[@RexPhalange]

The blood elevator scene in Dr Sleep clearly looks different than in The Shining. So I was surprised when I read in IMDB that they reused Kubrick's footage. And I'm glad this video corrects the misinformation.

[@ruialexandre6197]

Yes, you can see it was slightly from the right and now I noticed it was also from above. Amazing work. Rebecca's character reaction though reminded me of Spock saying "fascinating".

I don't like horror, because now it is all about jump-scares and scaring and scarring the audience. But I like horror, when it makes me feel uncomfortable.

[@mv5503]

Mike Flanagan is a phenomenal horror film Director. He uses jump scares sparingly and smartly. If you enjoy Doctor Sleep, I encourage you to watch his other films. His Netflix series Haunting of Hill House has great atmospheric horror

[@hamhockbeans]

@@AlvinTOS Which is good

[@Beulzabob]

There are a HANDFUL of horror movies that I consider excellent cinema. This and the original Shining both make the list.

Actually this is NOT a jump-scare scary movie at all! Go see it.

[@TheRepty818]

I would recommend the Babadook. It's creepy, got a good story, and not one jump scare in the entire film. Also Get Out is a fantastic scary movie that doesn't have any real jump scares.

What a treat even for my gay eyes.

[@patriot4780]

I hate seeing children get hurt in movies or in real life, and the actor who portrayed Bradley Trevor was so believable that I wanted to jump into the movie and help him. Rebecca, you did a great job of portraying Rose! Later in the film when her character’s goons were being destroyed, I smiled, and I smiled big. I hoped that Rose was feeling every bit of the terror she inflicted on Bradley. I’m curious though, did Rebecca ad-lib “Shhhh! It’s okay” when the boy was crying and screaming? I’m not trying to self-promote, but if a child asked me “Are you going to hurt me?” I would reply “No! Absolutely not”, and I would help them up, because I would rather die than hurt a kid.

Rebecca was referring to Tommy Caldwell, I believe...
