2001I'm pretty sure that 2001 was the last film that SK let anyone have final say over any and all materials issued, other than him or totally trusted assistants. The daft lobby cards must have pissed of Stan the man enormously when so much of the other materials were so superb such as the jumbo lobby set, for example, the 3D counter cards and 3D one sheets, and the core artworks by Bob McCall.
Indeed Kubrick later intensely disliked any press stills or lobby cards that were not direct frame enlargements or completely overseen/approved by himself. As a great stills photographer himself and perfectionist in all areas of his craft and art, it's easy to understand this. Oddly enough, some of the best BTS stills taken on the STRANGELOVE shoot were done by the great Weegee. There was an entire run of FMJ "US one sheets" that were actually printed in the UK so SK could oversee the printing.

Don't you think he/she would check with the art director or someone at the studio? I don't remember what the exact colors were, but I'm fairly certain they didn't include pink. In a 1980 interview, Julian Senior, Kubrick's publicity director, said "Stanley refuses to have a stills photographer standing beside him taking photographs of every scene. In his opinion, the photograph which best represents a shot from the film is one enlarged from the print itself." That's fine, but if you're going to be that finicky, shouldn't you make sure the photos don't have pink control panels? -rk http://cgi.ebay.com/2001-A-SPACE-ODYSSEY-lc8-Classic-Kubrick-R1972_W0QQitemZ300088290682QQcategoryZ60305QQcmdZViewItem From: Dave Rosen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Dave Rosen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 11:33:38 -0500 To: [email protected] Subject: [MOPO] FA: The Werewolf title card + 14 others!!
