[@Overlorddz]

I believe 'Eyes Wide Shut', his final film, holds the record on most shooting days, over 400. Thats crazy when you think the 3 hour movie only takes place in 72 hours or something. Takes place in The Village, NYC, but was also shot fully in the UK.

[@jossym]

Yeah, all shot in England - Camden (a borough of London) stood in for NY. Something that is very little known though is the location of the morgue scene where Tom Cruise identifies the women's body. It was actually filmed barely 5 minutes drive from Kubrick's house (Childwickbury, where his widow still lives). They used the building that the company I was working for at the time had just purchased and was waiting to move in to. The original occupants were a frozen meat storage company that had closed down. We had to wait until filming had finished before we could start moving our equipment over (they were/are a magazine printer but I left many years ago), although it wasn't known at the time that it was a Kubrick production holding things up. Having been a frozen meat company meant that a clever bit of set dressing transformed it in to the convincing morgue it portrayed. You can check the location online by searching for The Manson Group Ltd, Valley Road Industrial Estate, St. Albans and see on the map how close by Kubrick's Childwickbury home is, just to the north west on the Harpenden Road. After we moved in, the bit you see on film became part of the bindery and you would have never known any filming had ever taken place there or that the great Stanley Kubrick had been in the building.

[@nadjaluthi3125]

Very interesting

[@cambotcecptt332]

Jesus look at the bags under kubricks eyes! Even his bags have bags!

[@cortadew]

the bags of god.

[@simonwasiolek7274]

Well it's always difficult to paint a full picture of a person, when you don't know them personally. But sources like his co-workers claimed that he often only slept a few hours, so that he could sit up all night and write letters, etc. Things that the producer would usually take care of, however Kubrick was often the producer of his own productions. Given that his productions lasted 300-400 days, and then there was also pre-production/post that also lasted about the same time. How the hell could a person ever handle something like that? That is however why his bags under his eyes are so clearly visible on all videos/photos of him, especially as he got older.

[@RW4X4X3006]

Sometimes it takes a sadistic cinematographer/director to create a masterpiece. Of all the films he made, there was one person he dare not fuck with - Ermey

[@SketchLightCreations]

Hard work and little sleep. To make the quality of films he made that's what it takes.

[@jeanvuvu6900]

Stan worked 24h/24, 7d/7 There was no difference between making film/art and living/breathe Stan was Genius and a Masterpiece of Artistic life : He gave all and everything for Arts As the Absolute Genius, and we never will have For me, he was the Cinema Leonard de Vinci May you rest in Peace, And thank you for everything, Dear Master We miss you so much ...

So Vincent said he got a call and the person claimed to be Stanley's assistant and put Stanley on the phone, Vincent thought Stanley was British so when he had an American accent he hung up. He said he had friends who would pull pranks all the time and he figured it was just them. He called back and the assistant said please don't hang up, he didn't.

[@madahad9]

I wish this footage would be assembled into a full-length documentary. We only got a very brief look at Kubrick at work in the short film that his daughter Vivian made during The Shining. I hope this film is stored away but as the years and decades pass it is going to deteriorate and become another lost film. Any footage of Kubrick should be seen as valuable and not allowed to just sit in a vault somewhere. There are millions of film fans around the world that would love to see this. As Peter Jackson did recently with the hours and hours of unseen footage of The Beatles will recording Let It Be so too should someone make the effort to release this to fans of Kubrick. I'll keep a hopeful thought of it happening.

[@johnevans388]

All filmed in the UK!

[@jebbush3130]

"refuses to fly despite having a pilots licence" wtf lmao

on another note, it seems Vivian stayed around for almost the complete shooting of "FMJ" as the scenes at the boot camp were the last to be shot, so it looks like it's really only the choosing and editing down of material left

[@BlakeThePerson]

Is this a different version of the documentary? Definitely more footage in here than I've ever seen before

[@iIIcommunication]

+Blake Engel This seems to be another version. I'd love to see all of the footage that Vivian has done.

[@gavinlawson3548]

Yes, there is 2 versions, one version is 48 minutes and was the version screened for television, the other is an hour long and is available on DVD. The footage you see here is from the one hour version, so that is why there is more footage. Hope that helps.

turd ferguson eh. he doesmt really look like him at all or sound like him. I always thought zach galifanakis would do a great job (just look at birdman), or kevin spacey for voice at least

[@tinaprivitera6669]

turd furguson- You and I may literally be the same person. First off, love the user name, great nod to the "SNL" bit; I've watched it many times. Second, I too noticed that Louis C.K. and Stanley Kubrick kind of look and sound alike. Also, Louis' sense of humor is very dark and twisted in a way that I think would be similar to Kubrick's sense of humor.

[@tinaprivitera6669]

And also, if Louis isn't a good pick, Oscar Isaacs would be exceptional. He already kind of played a Kubrickian character in "Ex Machina" and did very well, but I'd love to see someone find the more human side of this man.

When one person can see from a long distance and no one else can,they'll rather think he's delusional or insane instead of specially skilled and believing on the things he can perceive. Kubrick proved so many times he was on to something and those changes from original material and many takes and year long shooting always delivered milestones(lettin' few years/decades after people's minds decanted),it took time cause pill was sometime big to swallow, it's easy for most of us who arrived decades after and out of time & context embracing his work even before watching it. In the days, he blew people's minds cause the message was too big to accept, and the way it was deliver too, i bet he was like a terrorists to tea- drinking suburbians after Clockwork orange, he had to ask the studio to remove the film in England for his family safety.
