Warner Brothers UK has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray Stanley Kubrick: The Masterpiece Collection. The ten-disc box set will be available for purchase on November 10th.
The late director Stanley Kubrick had a special relationship with Warner Bros. Because of this relationship, Christiane Kubrick invited and provided the studio full access to Kubrick's home, film props, personal cameras, film equipment, production facilities and personal insight to this great director.
To mark this momentous occasion, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (WBHE) will release Stanley Kubrick: The Masterpiece Collection on November 10th. The 10-disc Blu-ray™ set (£129.99 RRP) includes eight Kubrick classics as well as the newly-produced documentary: Kubrick Remembered which captures intimate moments in Stanley Kubrick's very personal life, two new-to-Blu-ray documentaries: Stanley Kubrick In Focus and Once Upon a Time…' A Clockwork Orange' plus three additional documentaries: Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures, and O' Lucky Malcolm! Also included will be a new 78-page hardcover photo book using never-before-seen archival photos, production materials and more.
Films in the collection will be Lolita (1962), Dr. Strangelove (1964), 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), A Clockwork Orange (1971), Barry Lyndon (1975), The Shining (1980), Full Metal Jacket (1987) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999). Kubrick Remembered offers a new look into the Kubrick archives, with special appearances by the director's wife, Christiane Kubrick, as well as never-seen footage of Stanley's works, his house and his film production facilities. Stanley Kubrick In Focus presents such directors as Steven Spielberg, Steven Soderbergh, Oliver Stone, William Friedkin and Martin Scorsese relating how Kubrick's directorial style influenced them.
About the Documentaries
Kubrick Remembered – NEW
An 83 minute candid look into the life of Kubrick, including interviews with his widow, family, co-workers and actors, and featuring a tour of the Archive in London and an inside look into Kubrick's home.
Stanley Kubrick In Focus – NEW
Spielberg, Soderbergh, Stone, Friedkin, Scorsese and others tell how Kubrick's directorial style influenced them and how his unique style was developed.
Once Upon a Time...A Clockwork Orange – NEW
Co-written by critic Michel Ciment and featuring interviews with a psychologist and a sociologist, Once Upon a Time...'A Clockwork Orange' is a wonderfully unusual cine-documentary that focuses more on the titular movie's historical context and philosophy than on its production and reception. The documentary benefits from Kubrick: The Masterpiece Collection Page 4 archival audio commentary by the late Stanley Kubrick, who offers his rationale for making the controversial, devilishly prescient proto-punk cult classic: "Better to reign in hell than serve in heaven."
Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures
Kubrick's career comes into sharp focus in this compelling documentary narrated by Tom Cruise. Fascinating footage glimpses Kubrick in his early years, at work on film sets and at home, augmented by candid commentary from collaborators, colleagues and family. Produced and directed by Jan Harlan, the brother of Christiane Kubrick, Stanley Kubrick's widow.
O'Lucky Malcolm!
A documentary about the life and career of actor Malcolm McDowell, produced and directed by Jan Harlan and edited by Katia de Vidas.
