  • I am so disappointed, I thought I'd share this with all of you

    http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/l...stanley-k.html

    what do you think about that? what's your opinion on creating a film from a script written by a genius who's passed away? do you think they should just leave it alone?

          I dunno. Is it not better to have this movie than no movie at all? The concept sounds awesome. Dig the casting, but who is Chris Palmer? According to imdb, he's produced nature docs up to now. Wonder how he got involved...

            Yeah I'm not necessarily against his unfinished works being completed. There's also THE ARYAN PAPERS and NAPOLEON. The NAPOLEON script is pretty brilliant. It's all in the execution, because Kubrick was a notorious perfectionist and would have spent more time tinkering with these half-done projects. It's why he delayed so long between films in his later years, I believe. There's an impulse to treat the material as sacrosanct, because it's ****in' KUBRICK, but I think it's a mistake because the man himself would have been rewriting scenes on the day. A.I. for instance could have risen to the next level with just a bit of a clean up, to bring the second and third acts up to speed with the first.

            So I'm not against this in theory, but I think it requires a visionary talent who has shown Kubrickian aptitude in the past, ie. Alfonso Cuaron or someone like that.

              Hand LAL to Terry Gilliam. There is no point in trying to approximate what Kubrick would/could have done.

                I don't know about that. Gilliam's really got to finally make Don Quixote, and his style wouldn't really be suited to this pulp crime story.

                Remember he's getting old and his time is precious. I'd rather see him make that good version of Watchmen, or Zero Theorem, or Good Omens, or Crowded Room, or The World Jones Made, or Time Bandits 2, or etc...

                    Let Gilliam make the good version of Watchmen? LOL. I would love to see the alternate universe where Gilliam went ahead with that atrocious Sam Hamm script, just to see the people who hated Snyder's version heads' explode. And now? I mean judging from his last 12 years worth of filmmaking efforts Gilliam can't direct traffic anymore, but that's just me.

                      Gilliam was having Richard LaGravense rewrite the script before the production collapsed.

                      And his work is coming back into stride with Immaginarium, and Don Quixote should be a full return to his proper brilliance.

                            Everyone will know it's not Kubrick, but at least there will be a good story behind any film that's made out of these scripts, that's a good starter for six.
