Check Back In To The Overlook Hotel
More 4 ad recreates The Shining

Check Back In To The Overlook Hotel
Our in-boxes are full of missives from PR companies telling us how exciting their latest 'viral clip', film festival (which covers films only made in cockney rhyming slang and takes place in Pomerania) or mobile phone film competition will be to the readers of Empire. Usually our fingers make a swift bee-line for the delete button, but the clip we were sent to promote More 4's Stanley Kubrick Season is definitely worth a look.

To highlight the season of the late man's films, which starts on July 15, the set of The Shining was recreated and actors were hired to resemble cast and crew (resembling crew? Now that's commitment) for a single-take tracking shot that goes around the set, taking in details of the film, like the creepy twin girls, someone writing 'Redrum' on a door and the actual tricycle used in the movie. It's a terrific idea and very well executed. Check it out below.

RE: Kubrick Season Lacking
L: giospurs I'm looking forward to the More 4 Kubrick season, but not included are Spartacus, Clockwork Orange, Full Metal Jacket, Eyes Wide Shut and Dr. Strangelove!! Very disappointing. hat's barely a season at all then! Nice to see they're showing two of the shorts, as well. I'll be tuning into the documentary. A lot of previous Channel 4 docs are on the SE DVDs, so I know they can do them well. (Although the one on the 2001 DVD has awful electronic versions of the music and ... Read More

KUBRICK WAS A GREAT DIRECTOR......
But his films are often so fine tuned and personal that it can be a little difficult to be entertained by them, the MORE 4 season will be must see for me, and kudos for the obsessive attention to detail in the trailer, Kubrick woulda been proud. ... Read More
