Movies very rarely please everybody, but it sounds like Doctor Sleep director Mike Flanagan may have come pretty close.
As lead actor Ewan McGregor explains in the clip above, Stanley Kubrick's iconic adaptation of The Shining was a movie which Stephen King famously didn't like — but the sequel (which is also based on a book by King) is a different story entirely.
"Mike managed to make this sequel, and my only concern about it was how are you gonna please both of these camps?" McGregor told Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday.
"But he does it very cleverly and very beautifully... he does something brilliant with the ending of our film that will appease the Stephen King fans who were aggrieved with Kubrick."
It's already appeased King himself, who has been full of praise for Flanagan's adaptation — and judging by the first reactions on Twitter, the horror master isn't the only one.
