“Stanley Kubrick was a filmmaker for the ages -- a pioneer and a visionary,” said Mark Horak, WHV’s senior vice president, marketing. “We are proud to have so many of his films in our library and to have had the privilege of working closely with his estate to create this site. We anticipate it to be a resource for Kubrick film buffs, as well as giving fans a further appreciation of his work.” The Kubrick site includes the following features: Frequently Asked Questions. Answers to questions about Kubrick’s life and work. Issues that have been argued and, in some cases, erroneously reported by other media, are addressed with official statements from the Kubrick estate. Kubrick 101. A virtual film studies course, with Kubrick’s ground breaking innovations on each film analyzed in the context of filmmaking history and technique. New Documentary. Up-to-date information about a new documentary being prepared by the Kubrick estate scheduled for release in the fourth quarter of this year. Special Content: Galleries of rare Kubrick photos, multimedia vignettes about his life and work, a message board and chat area, biographical information, filmography and awards. Latest news and product information, translated into five languages, are also available. Additional Elements Planned: Rarely seen photos, interviews with actors and peers of Kubrick, simultaneous DVD virtual theatre screenings and online chats with those who worked with or knew Kubrick during his 50-year career. Stanley Kubrick made 13 memorable films, his last being “Eyes Wide Shut”
starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, which director Martin Scorsese called
one of the ten best films of the past decade. In addition to “Eyes
Wide Shut,” WHV offers the The Stanley Kubrick Collection, which includes
“2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Lolita,” “A Clockwork Orange,” “Barry Lyndon,”
