MS does not share any details of the photos and have chosen not to say anything except that the photos were obviously from the crime scene. MS called LE the next morning to report these leaked photos. They also reached out to the defense team to make sure they knew about the leak. At this point they did not know where the leak came from.
Apr 4, 2018 · Seen from a distance, the two films could hardly appear more different. One is a farcical black-and-white arms-race satire featuring Peter Sellers in multiple roles; the other is a richly coloured ...

Just before NASA’s Mariner 4 spacecraft passed Mars in July 1965, a worried Kubrick attempted to take out an insurance policy with Lloyd’s of London—in case the discovery of extraterrestrial life ruined the plot he was then working on with science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke. “How the underwriters managed to compute the premium, I can’t imagine...
Early in pre-production Kubrick proposed to Clarke that they co-write a novel first, then base their film script on it—rather than the other way around. In fact, the director had promised Clarke that their novel could be published before the film came out. But as Kubrick became increasingly subsumed in the film, he reneged on that pledge—in part be...
During production, Kubrick at first refused to let spacewalking stuntman Bill Weston wear a second cable for safety, although he was 30 feet above a hard concrete studio floor. This almost resulted in a serious accident when individual strands of Weston’s sole cable broke under his weight. In another incident, Kubrick refused to let Weston punch ho...
Some of the film’s most iconic features were decided during production for purely practical reasons. The mysterious black monolith began as a translucent Plexiglas tetrahedron, which ultimately assumed a monolith shape because Plexiglas cools better that way. But after paying massively for the big clear Plexi slab, Kubrick decided it didn’t look ri...
Arthur C. Clarke, worried that Kubrick might reject further collaboration with him because he was gay, one day mustered the nerve to confront the issue head on. Choosing his moment, he abruptly announced during one of their meetings, “Stan, I want you to know that I’m a very well-adjusted homosexual.” “Yeah I know,” Kubrick responded without missin...
The film’s complex, kinetic sets were unintentionally hazardous. The film’s turning centrifuge, which was 38 feet in diameter, 10 feet wide, and weighed 30 tons, caused particular problems. Film lights don’t like to go upside down, and when they turned within the centrifuge, they frequently exploded, showering hot glass down on the film crew, which...
Stanley Kubrick and lead actors Keir Dullea and Gary Lockwood were all afraid of flying, with each traveling to England by boat for filming. That meant that the most convincing film about space exploration ever made would be captained and crewed by groundlings. As his trust in Kubrick’s vision grew, however, Dullea, who played astronaut Dave Bowman...
American mime Dan Richter, who both brought to life the lead man-ape “Moonwatcher” and choreographed the whole “Dawn of Man” prehistoric prelude, was a hard-core heroin addict throughout production—a fact he initially hid from Kubrick. Richter, who had beat out numerous professional actors for the role, had managed to achieve the status of a “legal...
Sent to South West Africa—today’s Namibia—to scout locations and supervise large-format photography of desert landscapes for the “Dawn of Man” sequence, Kubrick’s assistant Andrew Birkin sent Polaroid shots back to London of a fascinatingly primitive-looking giant spiny aloe tree, or kokerboom in Afrikaans. Seeing the shots, Kubrick grew excited, a...
No shooting day was more fraught with anxiety than the leopard-attack scene for the “Dawn of Man” sequence, which was set in a dry riverbed and filmed in the studio in London in September 1967. The leopard had been wrestling with animal trainer Terry Duggan for many months, but it didn’t know Dan Richter, who’d agreed to be in the scene. When it fi...
