The 13-year-old star of 'Wonder' and 'Good Boys,' Jacob Tremblay, takes on a particularly horrifying role in the Stephen King adaptation 'Doctor Sleep.'

“Doctor Sleep” director Mike Flanagan on Stephen King and creating a follow-up to “The Shining” and following in the footsteps of both Stephen King and Stanley Kubrick.“It is the entire engine for the risks, sacrifices and losses that Abra and Dan take for the rest of the story,” said Flanagan. “As far as depicting it, I didn’t want to flinch away from it but I also didn’t want to show so much of something so unpleasant that it would make people leave or knock them out of the movie.

His solution was to frame the action from the chin up. But Tremblay’s performance — which was captured in just one take — was still convincing enough to bring the actors to tears. “I edited more versions of that scene than any other in the film trying to find the right balance,” said Flanagan. “The problem is that Jacob Tremblay is so damn good. It’s just Jacob’s face, and holy crap does he sell it. His performance is horrifying to the point that Rebecca was speechless trying to act with him. She was crying while trying to do the scene with him. It traumatized us.”
