The Korova Milk Bar

Two pages from Stanley Kubrick’s writing notes as he worked on his adaptation of The Shining.

On the first page, he has typed a thought about the fuel supply for the generator, as well as a question about the need to have a moment to show Jack’s affection for Danny somewhere in the story.

On the second page, Kubrick has written out some ideas about Hallorann’s return to the Overlook. He suggests that the snow might be piled so high outside the hotel that Hallorann might need to break a high window and jump down into the hotel.

A page from an early, pre-publication copy of Stephen King’s novel, The Shining. At the bottom of the page are Kubrick’s handwritten notes as he reacts to the concept of “REDRUM” spelling “MURDER” in reverse.

Single typewritten page used in The Shining, filled with the repeated phrase “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” The box of paper that Wendy flips though in the film is located in theStanley Kubrick Archive in London. About one-third of the stack was manually typed; the remainder was photocopied. There are also additional boxes in other languages.

The notes describe an alternate version of the climax of the film, where Dick Hallorann arrives at The Overlook Hotel, only to become a murderous, maniacal figure. Wendy manages to kill Hallorann and escape with Danny. The film ends with a push in on Jack’s scrapbook where we find the July 4, 1921 party photo with Jack.

Kubrick’s handwritten note reads “As the chase progresses, the hotel comes to life; lights, music, etc.”

976 letter from The Shiningproducer Jan Harlan to Stanley Kubrick, expressing excitement for an invention which was to become the Steadicam. The Shining was the first film to make extensive use of the Steadicam, and much of the film was shot by Steadicam inventor Garrett Brown.

Ed Di Giulio was the founder ofCinema Products, the company where the Steadicam was developed. Garrett Brown originally wanted to name the device the “Brown Stabilizer” - it was Di Giulio who came up with the name “Steadicam”.
