“
The Shining
may be the first movie that ever made its audience jump with a title that simply says, ‘Tuesday,’” proclaimed
The New York Times
. Never has a film evoked so much dread in its audience with so little gore than Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of the 1977 novel by the master of terror himself, Stephen King, where true horror lies in the darkest corners of domesticity and isolation.
Equally a study of the
intricate mechanics of Kubrick’s genius
as an
in-depth look at the making of a visual masterpiece
,
Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining
gathers
hundreds of hours of exclusive new interviews with the cast and crew
in an unprecedented look at the 1980 cult classic. Slip in through the back door of The Overlook Hotel to witness Kubrick’s endless rounds of script rewrites, his revolutionary use of the Steadicam, the mechanics behind the infamous blood elevator, the mysterious mid-filming fire at Elstree Studios, and the countless takes needed to satisfy the meticulous force that was Kubrick.
Conceived and edited by
Academy Award-winning director Lee Unkrich
, dubbed by
The Hollywood Reporter
as “the world's foremost
Shining
aficionado,” with text by
best-selling author J.W. Rinzler
and a
foreword by Steven Spielberg
, this is the definitive compendium of the film that transformed the horror genre.
The two-volume collection designed by M/M Paris includes hundreds of never-before-seen production photographs from the Stanley Kubrick Archive and the personal collections of cast and crew, rare documents and correspondence, conceptual art, an exclusive look at deleted scenes, and more.
