The Durango 95 from A Clockwork Orange
This put in the mood for some Kubrick this weekend. Now which movie shall it be? Early period (i.e., ”The Killing”), middle period (i.e., “A Clockwork Orange”) or late period (i.e., “Full Metal Jacket”)? How about “Lolita”, since Miss Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell) makes an appearance?
WOW! Great, glad for you!
Maybe you have some photos with Napoleon part of exhition? I heard that it has some Cary Fukunaga words as he is attached to direct Napoleon.
Good question. I'm not sure but i think Kubrick's wife had a lot of material stored away.
Private Joker's actual helmet from Full Metal Jacket
The Overlook maze
Speaks for itself!
The actual prop from the ending of The Shining
Me too @RogueAgent it was so amazing seeing props from some of Kubrick's classic films.
Probably @Birdleson this one is there only until September. Glad I caught it as it's an amazing exhibition. 👍
I suppose you wanted to move in? Was there anything from his earlier films there?
The exhibition covers all his films. Obviously some more than others because some of the older films haven't as much in the way of props or costumes.
There's still loads of interesting artifacts from his entire career including his Napoleon project.
You could seriously spend all day there easily.
Well worth the £15 it cost. There's a cool Kubrick shop there as well.
Do you have some photos of Napoleon's part of exhibition? It'll interesting to see.
Unfortunately not as that section is more stuff to read than photograph.
I saw a similar Star Wars exhibition where it seemed like a lot of wear on things like they hadn't been cared for properly. The Wampa outfit in particular seemed dirty and tatty.
Maybe you remember - were there some hints on future TV-series from HBO based on Stanley's studies? Asking because huge fan of Cary Fukunaga works (and Stanley's, of course) and he is attached to this series. Really hoping that B25 wont be an obstacle for him (Jan Harlan said that filming may start in 2020) because Napoleon from him is my little cinematic dream project.
Stanley Kubrick would often shoot a great many retakes of a scene, just to get "that extra something" in a shot; 20 to 50 takes per scene was not uncommon. It has been claimed that Kubrick shot over 100 takes of the scene in which Barry first meets Lady Honoria Lyndon.
Ultimately, Ryan O'Neal became so exasperated with said practice that he faced Kubrick at one point and said, "All right, I'll tell you what we'll do. You act out my part in this scene, and then I'll imitate you." Characteristically, Kubrick reckoned that O'Neal was merely being insolent.
Filming took 300 days over a two-year span, beginning around May or June of 1973. The production suffered two major shutdowns, resulting in what was then considered a bloated $11-million budget. It was finally released in December of 1975.
