“Nearly half a century since the movie’s release… a forgotten filming location has been discovered.” Whoa! There is a surprise new Stanley Kubrick documentary debuting next week on YouTube. It’s called Shine On – The Forgotten Shining Location, directed by Paul King, an official film from Elstree Studios. It’s being released on “Kubrick Day”, celebrating Stanley’s birthday. The doc is about the discovery of a filming location for Kubrick’s masterpiece The Shining that is still intact. All the other fabricated locations & sets for the 1980 horror movie have since been destroyed (or lost). This one is an office building where they shot the kitchen scenes and a few other interiors of the Overlook Hotel. “The production of The Shining has been well documented & analyzed, but this is a story which has never been told. Pivotal scenes from the film took place in these areas, so going back to them felt like stepping into the movie itself,” states Katharina Kubrick. Featuring interviews with executive producer Jan Harlan, art director Les Tomkins, and Kubrick’s daughter Katharina, who worked on location scouting. There’s also a gorgeous painted poster for this doc. View below // Continue Reading ›
