Kubrick’s Universe - The Stanley Kubrick Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

In 2021, our good friend David Constantine reached out to Stephen with exciting news—he was heading to Texas to meet Shelley Duvall, the wonderful actress made famous for her portrayal of Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick’s "The Shining.”

Stephen suggested that David record the meeting and conduct an informal interview with Shelley. David agreed, and that December, he and his nephew Joe drove to Texas to meet Shelley at a local restaurant in her hometown.

Recorded: December 2021

We caught up with David recently to chat with him about his time with Shelley.

A few episodes ago, we spoke to Howard Berry, about a new book that has just been released, called Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. It was produced and written by Lee Unkrich and Johnathan Rinzler.

Well now, we speak to Lee Unkrich himself about his new book, which was ten years in the making.

Lee worked at Pixar Animation for 25 years in various departments. His films include; A Bug’s Life, Cars, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Wall-E, UP!, Brave, Monsters University, Inside Out, The Good Dinosaur and all four Toy Story films.

Lee won Oscars AND Baftas for Best Animated Feature Film for his work directing Toy Story 3 and Coco, but it’s Lee’s love and fascination for Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining that places him firmly in 'Kubrick’s Universe'.

In this episode we have something quite special for you. A wonderful guy from Los Angeles who has been a film editor since the late 70s.

He was Oscar and Bafta nominated for Best Film Editing for his seminal work on the fantastic Australian movie, Babe. He went on to work again with Mad Max director George Miller on Babe 2: Pig In The City.

Jay tells us how he got into the business and of one of his first experiences in the cutting room working with Robert Redford on Ordinary People, which went on to win 4 Oscars including Best Picture and Best Director for Redford himself.

But, it was his connection to The Shining that we really wanted to speak to Jay about. Jay has the distinction of being the guy who was woken early one morning in New York by a telephone call from Stanley Kubrick, who offered him a very interesting job proposition. The Shining had been in a handful of Cinemas in New York and LA on it’s opening night when Stanley decided he hadn’t finished editing the film. Jay was tasked with driving to each and every one of the cinemas in New York the next day to remove the now infamous Hospital Scene from the end of the final reel of THE SHINING.

Colin Maitland in his short but brilliant film career acted alongside heavyweights such as Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown, John Cassavetes, Telly Savalas, Donald Sutherland and Clint Walker in Robert Aldrich’s 1967 classic, The Dirty Dozen. Colin played one of the infamous Dozen, Seth Sawyer.

Colin also played Charlie Sedgwick in Stanley Kubrick’s 1962 film, Lolita. His scene was set at Camp Climax and Colin played directly opposite the inimitable James Mason. And as this year marks the 60th anniversary of that film, we thought we’d commemorate this criminally underappreciated (by some, not all) Kubrick masterpiece by talking to Mr Colin Maitland.

We interviewed Colin in March 2022, when he told us some amazing behind-the-scenes stories about his time filming The Bedford Incident, A Shot In The Dark, The Dirty Dozen and Lolita.

Gillian Hills is an actress, singer, songwriter, poet, artist and Illustrator, she really is the definition of the term Renaissance Woman.

Born in Egypt, Gillian spent her early years in France, where she was discovered at the tender age of 14 by Roger Vadim, the director of And God Created Woman and Barbarella. Vadim described her as the next Brigitte Bardot and cast her in his version of Dangerous Liaisons, released in 1959.

In 1960, at 15, Gillian was cast in the lead of the British film Beat Girl with co-stars Adam Faith, Christopher Lee and Oliver Reed.

That same year, Gillian recorded her first records with Henri Salvador, for the French record label Barclay, and In 1961, she appeared at the Olympia Theatre in Paris on the bill with Johnny Hallyday. Serge Gainsbourg wrote his first duet for Hills, which they sang together on French TV in 1963. She was soon signed up to the AZ record label and continued to record her self-penned songs as well as cover versions of the latest pop songs.

Then another string of films followed, appearing in Michelangelo Antonioni's first English language film, the classic 1966 Blowup, The film version of John Osborne's Inadmissible Evidence (1968), The Owl Service (1969), a television adaptation of the Alan Garner novel, Georges Franju's La Faute de l'abbé Mouret, and she replaced Marianne Faithfull in the 1972 horror Demons of the Mind for Hammer Film Productions.

Gillian then moved to New York and enjoyed a successful career as a book and magazine illustrator. In recent years her music has been featured in the film “Mesrine Part One: Killer Instinct” with Vincent Cassel, the Season 5 premiere of Mad Men in 2012, and The Queen’s Gambit in 2020 …and she has just released her new self-penned album, Lili, which reflects on her early years aged between 11 and 19.

Gillian also appeared in A Clockwork Orange, as one of the two young ladies that Alex picks up at the record store… so come with uncle, and hear all proper, hear angel trumpets and devil trombones… YOU ARE INVITED!
