Eyes Wide Shut 4K UHD (1999) (Criterion Collection)

[Darth Marcus]

I'd be interested to know if Cruise's people reached out to the artists and said "You know, it looks great. Really, it does. But, can you make Tom's mask just slightly taller than Nicole's?"

Glad they used the correct 1.85:1 as the AR!

Will have to keep the WB Blu-ray for those candid Tom Cruise / Nicole Kidman interviews.

Hold off on that, it looks like a few extras didn't carry over. Trying to see what I can confirm.

From the old BD:

Documentary:
The Last Movie: Stanley Kubrick and Eyes Wide Shut

Interviews:
Tom Cruise on Kubrick
Nicole Kidman on Kubrick
Steven Spielberg on Kubrick

TV Spots: <-- don't know if the Teaser/Trailers section has these
"Jealousy"
"Combo"

I will likely keep it for those but I’m glad they carried over the lost films doc and are probably including the uncut teasers. The new extras lineup is very nice as well.

I'll wait for UK. They might do that tatty fatty and I want one as the other WB titles of Kubrick have that.

Barry Lyndon looks like it's gonna be a tat-free Steelbook, sad to say.

Agreed! Can't wait to dig into everything. Very curious if the ShoWest teaser is included.

Love this artwork.

Katharina Kubrick talks to Isabel Stevens about her early poster designs for the film

(Sight and Sound interview, November 2019)

How did you end up designing these posters?

After Stanley died my mother and I received artwork for the Eyes Wide Shut posters from the studio, but we really wanted to design them ourselves as a last gift to him. My mother in particular felt we could design a poster that he would have loved.

As you may know, Stanley was always very involved in his poster campaigns. It was important to him that his posters were elegant and stylish and immediately visible across the tube station or when you opened the newspaper. They had to be iconic. If you think of the ‘A’ that Philip Castle designed for A Clockwork Orange [1971], or the helmet that he did for Full Metal Jacket [1987], or the foot on the rose for Barry Lyndon… They were very strong images and they told you something, but not everything, about the film.

It was a very intense period. He died in March and the film came out in July, so we had very little time to do it. We were grieving, but it was important for us to come up with a design that we felt Stanley would have loved.

My mother and I are both artists, and because masks are very heavily featured in the film – we started with the premise of turning Tom and Nicole’s faces into masks. We got a photographer who shot them for us full-face. Then using Photoshop we made Nicole and Tom look as mask-like as possible.

Why did you select red as the background?

Red was one of dad’s favourite colours, and it’s also a very emotional colour. People respond to it in very different ways. Some people find it a scary colour. Red is the colour of prostitutes, isn’t it? And whenever you see somebody in sleazy underwear, it’s always got to be red.

Why weren’t they used?

The feedback from the studio was: “You’ve got two of the most beautiful movie stars in the film industry – why are you using masks?” So we thought, OK, let’s start again.

The mirror that was in the Harfords’ apartment was ours. So we had it photographed, and then we took that photograph of them in front of the mirror and made, again, what we thought was an elegant poster. It’s a shame the originals weren’t used because if you look at them now, 20 years later, I think they really hold up and they are definitely Tom and Nicole.

"New cover based on an original poster by Katharina Kubrick and Christiane Kubrick"

Really? I don't like the cover all. Thankfully I am getting for the movie. I'm really looking forward to this one. Barry Lyndon looked damn good.
