As a lifelong cinephile who has spent countless nights huddled under blankets during horror movie marathons, I can confidently say that Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Shining” is one of the most chilling experiences cinema has ever offered. And now, with Taschen’s newly released two-volume edition of “Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining,” we have an opportunity to delve even deeper into the world of the Overlook Hotel.
1966 saw Stanley Kubrick striving to produce the world’s most terrifying film. A decade after that, a screenplay titled “The Shining” by Stephen King found its way onto his desk, paving the way for the 1980 movie adaptation. This chilling production has endured as one of cinema’s most memorable horror films and still manages to give shivers down viewers’ spines over four decades later.
Taschen is launching a special edition of “Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining” in honor of this classic movie, perfect for holiday gifts. This two-volume set, which took ten years to compile, spans 1,396 pages and gives readers an unprecedented peek at the filmmaking process through exclusive interviews with cast and crew, never-before-seen photos from Stanley Kubrick’s archive, concept art, and more.
This collection, edited by Lee Unkrich, who won an Academy Award for directing Toy Story 3, features text by J.W. Rinzler and Steven Spielberg. It embodies and highlights the film’s enduring legacy. Eight years ago, Unkrich collaborated with M/M (Paris) to design this publication. The cover is a nod to the well-known garden maze, while the books themselves have a haunting resemblance to items found in The Overlook Hotel. They evoke the appearance of a fragile red hotel Bible and the enigmatic scrapbook from the story.
This assortment delves into the intriguing mechanisms behind the iconic blood lift and multiple draft iterations of its screenplay, offering an engaging analysis of a timeless cult favorite. It provides novel viewpoints while maintaining the enigmatic allure that Kubrick’s work is renowned for.
You can now buy Stanley Kubrick’s ‘The Shining’ from Taschen’s website or Amazon, priced at 125 US dollars.
