Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining is a horror genre masterpiece and a testament to the director’s unparalleled vision. To commemorate this iconic film, luxury art book publisher Taschen is releasing a two-book compendium that delves deep into the film’s production and influence.
This extensive collection, edited by Oscar-winning director Lee Unkrich, features behind-the-scenes photos, production materials, and personal reflections on the film from some of Hollywood’s biggest directors. The compendium is divided into two books – the first book features written reflections on the film, while the second book is a stunning photo album.
The first book features written reflections on the film and its importance, with insights from cast and crew members based on hundreds of hours of exclusive interviews.
The second book is a photo album featuring hundreds of photographs, concept art, letters, in-depth looks at deleted scenes, and never-before-seen production documents from Kubrick’s personal collection.
The compendium was originally launched in 2023 as an exclusive collector’s box set for $2,500 but was quickly sold out. The new retail version is set to release on November 26 at a lower price point.
