Stanley Kubrick: Last News

Naman Ramachandran New Zealand-based sales outfit Black Mandala is bringing a sinister lineup of six genre titles to Berlin’s European Film Market (EFM), ranging from occult horror to creature features. Leading the pack is “1978,” a twisted tale of torturers who get more than they bargained for when their victims turn out to be members of a dark cult.

Naman Ramachandran Disney’s “Snow White” retained the top spot at the U.K. and Ireland box office for a second week, bringing in £2 million ($2.6 million) and pushing its total to £6.7 million ($8.7 million), according to Comscore. Leading the newcomers was “L2: Empuraan,” the Malayalam-language action film distributed by RFT Films Ltd.

It’s hard to believe now but before taking 12 long years to follow 1987’s Full Metal Jacket with Eyes Wide Shut in 1999, the famously meticulous Stanley Kubrick was comparatively prolific — in the ’60s alone he released four of his 13 features. In these days of instant gratification, a director taking longer than three years is either deemed to be M.I.A. or about to pop up with a secret film made entirely under the radar (“Don’t believe everything you read on the net,” says Nicolas Winding Refn on that score). But absence does make the heart grow fonder, and these five directors can expect a warm welcome in 2025.

Like Alexandre O. Philippe, Rodney Ascher is a director who pushes the interpretive limits of what a documentary can do, something he made abundantly clear with his 2012 film Room 237. Named after the mysterious hotel suite in The Shining, this festival favorite gave a platform to some of the most bizarre readings of Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 horror imaginable. The theories raised ranged from the esoteric to the ridiculous, but Ascher’s straightforward, non-judgmental approach proved surprisingly effective; though it has long been debunked, the fanciful thought that Kubrick made the film to exorcize his guilt about faking the moon landing footage in 1969 is enticing and still hard to shake off.

The Monkey director Osgood Perkins says he has no desire to make a James Bond movie now that the franchise has been acquired by Amazon.In a recent Reddit AMA, the horror director was asked by a fan: “Are you open to directing a Bond movie/trilogy? If so, who would you cast as your version of Bond?”Perkins simply replied: “No, because fuck Jeff Bezos.”It comes after billionaire Bezos previously appeared to publicly support President Donald Trump, writing that it was “an honour” to attend Trump’s second inauguration in 2025. “Excited to collaborate on accelerating innovation and supercharging the American economy,” Bezos commented at the time.While Perkins ruled out Bond because of Bezos, he did disclose another iconic franchise he’d be happy to join – Star Wars.Perkins wrote that his ideal film, if budget was no object, would be “the collected dreams and nightmares of Darth Vader told as short stories.”Other projects on the director’s list include “a totally made up biopic about a real person, a neo-futuristic Freudian Western, [and] a movie about someone famous who died young and their experience of the afterlife.”Perkins went on to explain that his visual style was influenced by his favourite films.
