Stanley Kubrick STANLEY KUBRICK
L’ADRC, WARNeR BROS. « Quiconque a eu le privilège de réaliser un film est conscient que c’est comme vouloir écrire en partenariat avec L’AfCAe, POSiTif, Guerre et Paix dans l’auto-tamponneuse d’un parc d’attraction. Mais lorsqu’enfin la tâche est bien LA CiNÉmATHÈQUe accomplie, peu de choses dans la vie peuvent se comparer à ce que l’on ressent alors. » fRANÇAiSe présentent Stanley KUBRICK STANLEY KUBRICK Ces lignes sont extraites d’un message filmé (le seul document cinématographique où apparaît le cinéaste outre le film réalisé par sa fille Vivian sur le tournage deShining ) LA RÉTROSPECTIVE que Stanley Kubrick envoya, en 1997, à la Directors’ Guild of America pour la remercier de lui avoir attribué le prix D.W. Griffith. Elles éclairent un artiste souvent incompris et un homme certes de l’étoffe dont sont faits les mythes, mais dont le goût du secret a conduit les médias à en donner une image erronée. Si beaucoup de jeunes réalisa- teurs considèrent comme naturel de se retrouver derrière la caméra, il estimait encore, après quarante-cinq ans de carrière, que c’était une faveur spéciale dont il bénéficiait. L’expérience lui avait aussi appris qu’à la différence de celle du musicien, du peintre ou de l’écrivain, l’activité d’un metteur en scène était à la merci de nombreux aléas, d’où la nécessité de garantir par un maximum de contrôle sa liberté de création et l’accomplissement de sa vision. Cette déclaration révèle enfin à quel point l’exercice de son art fut pour lui la source des plaisirs les plus intenses. -

Moreover, if one considers the partnership with James B. Harris between 1955 and 1963, during which Harris produced three films as part of their Harris Kubrick Pictures Corporation, Kubrick was arguably involved as a producer on twelve of his own feature films. He was very much his own producer throughout most of his career, though with varying degrees of creative and business control at specific time periods. In the earliest years as a producer, Kubrick operated at a low-budget level of independence, with little influence over the way his films were handled by the studios to which he sold them. By the late 1960s, following the critical and commercial success of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick had established himself as one of the most powerful and potent producing brands in Hollywood. -

Stanley Kubrick: Producers and Production Companies
View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by De Montfort University Open Research Archive Stanley Kubrick: Producers and Production Companies Thesis submitted by James Fenwick In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, September 2017 1 Abstract This doctoral thesis examines filmmaker Stanley Kubrick’s role as a producer and the impact of the industrial contexts upon the role and his independent production companies. The thesis represents a significant intervention into the understanding of the much-misunderstood role of the producer by exploring how business, management, working relationships and financial contexts influenced Kubrick’s methods as a producer. The thesis also shows how Kubrick contributed to the transformation of industrial practices and the role of the producer in Hollywood, particularly in areas of legal authority, promotion and publicity, and distribution. The thesis also assesses the influence and impact of Kubrick’s methods of producing and the structure of his production companies in the shaping of his own reputation and brand of cinema. The thesis takes a case study approach across four distinct phases of Kubrick’s career. The first is Kubrick’s early years as an independent filmmaker, in which he made two privately funded feature films (1951-1955). The second will be an exploration of the Harris-Kubrick Pictures Corporation and its affiliation with Kirk Douglas’ Bryna Productions (1956-1962). Thirdly, the research will examine Kubrick’s formation of Hawk Films and Polaris Productions in the 1960s (1962-1968), with a deep focus on the latter and the vital role of vice-president of the company. -
