No, but I had the opportunity to put on the phone with Shelley and witness them speaking for the first time since he was six!

I commissioned the great J.W. Rinzler to write the text for the Shining book, and it was an incredible collaboration. Jonathan was sadly diagnosed with cancer as he was completing his work, and died before the project was finished. I have dedicated the book to him.

To answer many of your questions, yes, TASCHEN has traditionally followed up their special collector’s editions with much more affordable editions.

I just figured out the text from hedge maze map after studying the 4K Blu-ray and determined a couple words. It's from the back of a 1970 book titled, of all things, Mazes and Labyrinths. What an incredible find! So happy!

Danny is wearing this in the scene where he rounds the corner and finds the Grady Twins, though Kubrick uses only close-ups and the text is never seen.

A note to Mom. The tiny blue sweater, as worn by Danny Torrance, is now housed at the @UAL archives in London. #TheShining40

These are all the same arguments I cite whenever anyone tells me that Wendy Torrance, as played by Shelley Duvall, is “weak”.
