Kubrick news
Incredible news for fans of Stanley Kubrick:
Criterion is releasing The Killing in August.
Added will be new interview with James B. Harris, clips w/ Sterling Hayden from archives and Kubrick's 1955 film Killer's Kiss.
Worth the money I'd say.
And in case you've been living under a rock lately, A limited edition box set of 9 Kubrick features has just been released on Blu-Ray.
($99 here in Canada). There's also a regular DVD box (not limited) for $69.99. The Blu-Ray set has a small hardcover book included.
Leon Vitali, Kubrick's trusted estate manager/Red Cloak/Bullingdon, spent years working on the Blu-Ray transfers.
Stanley would be proud, Leon!
Bless you Sir!
I laminated the 2-page spread of the news of the Blu-Ray release from the Ottawa Sun. Malcolm McDowell says:
There was nobody better than Kubrick. No one has a list of Masterpieces like him.
I agree 1000%.
There are scores of great directors, and film buffs can debate until the end of time which one was the best or the greatest.
For me Stanley Kubrick is unmatched.
The bottom line is that Kubrick's talent was simply impeccable. He knew what he was doing at every turn.
He was so far ahead of everybody else it's astonishing.
the Coens, P.T. Anderson and Christopher Nolan are the only current directors who seem to be aiming for immortality like Kubrick did.
You'd think Kubrick would have inspired more people!
No students?
Only admirers?
Shame.
Steven Spielberg should dust off Kubrick's 1968 script for Napoleon.
Shoot it as is. No changes.
Just get the locations, costumes, cast and sets underway.
Build that movie!
What a gift it would be to the world and to cinema history!
