How do? I'm a recent subscriber delurking to ask a
question.
The current issue of 'Entertainment Weekly' has a sidebar
about how productive Stanley Kubrick has been since his
death. (EYES WIDE SHUT was released after his passing; A.I.
was taken over by Steven Spielberg.) And there are two more
films to come:
"One, a '50s thriller called LUNATIC AT LARGE, emerges from
an arcane corner of the filmmaker's legend having to do with
a treatment he commissioned from his PATHS OF GLORY
co-screenwriter, pulp author Jim Thompson, and then
misplaced. For some 40 years the manuscript was considered
MIA - until producer Philip Hobbs ... dug it up recently
while sifting through some old papers. According to Hobbs,
LUNATIC will 'with luck ... be in production in late
2004.'"
No mention of THE KILLING? For shame.
I'm not as up on my Thompson arcana as I should be. Anyone
familiar with the story behind the story on this one?
