I'd like to see that as well. That footage would especially shocking since Shelley Winters wasn't even in The Shining.

None of these people were involved in the production of the movie, so if you were hoping for production insights or information, this is not the movie for you. If you're interested in wacky theories, you can probably do just as well as seeing this movie by simply Googling for a few websites.

Just so you know what it's like, the whole movie is basically composed of phone interviews with about 5 or so crackpot theorists, where they present and expound on their wacky theories. These are accompanied by visuals from the movie or other Kubrick films (and other films) to illustrate the point. Sometimes some animations or other visuals.

Some of the things they point out in the film to support their theories are interesting things I never noticed before, but aside from a few "Oh, that's cool" moments, it's really hard to put any stock into their theories, and their theories simply aren't that compelling.

The editors sometimes have fun at the theorists' expense. For example, the guy who talks about Kubrick helping NASA stage the filming of the Apollo moon landings, starts talking about how he's proven it, and so now "they" are watching him, and he expects his taxes to be audited, etc. And while he's saying these things, the editors are showing on-screen the scene from Eyes Wide Shut where Tom Cruise is walking on the street and is all paranoid and thinking he is being followed.

None of these people were involved in the production of the movie, so if you were hoping for production insights or information, this is not the movie for you. If you're interested in wacky theories, you can probably do just as well as seeing this movie by simply Googling for a few websites.

Has this been picked up by a studio for future release? I really want to check this one out.

Apparently Vitali, Kubrick's assistant, has said that most of what's in this documentary is nonsense, in his opinion. But hey, that's the beauty of art, it means different things to different people and looks different as time passes. I'm looking forward to seeing this if I ever get the chance soon, I'll probably wind up having to wait for the DVD though, can't imagine it'll hit much near me.

now free to stream on Netflix Instant. I just finished it. Mildly entertaining, but totally full of crap.
