Behind The Scenes Of The Shining


Stanley Kubrick's then-17-year-old daughter, Vivian, was allowed to shoot behind the scenes on and around the various sets of The Shining. That footage was then edited into a 35-minute documentary called The Making of the Shining, which is a rather ambitious title for what this actually is, but it's worth watching just to see Jack Nicholson get in character before the "Heeeere's Johnny!" scene.

Who's your favorite bastard?

God, that was mesmerizing. I'm ready to see the film again right now.

It should be arriving in my mailbox today. Ha ha.

There's an even better version of this film - with commentary track - that I discovered after my post. You can watch it here for additional behind the scenes stories ...
