A deep and interesting line of work.
A bit of shameless self-promotion, then
I am the author of "Stanley Kubrick and Me: Thirty Years at His Side", the memoir of Emilio D'Alessandro, Kubrick's personal assistant. I co-wrote the screenplay of the documentary adapted from it, "S is for Stanley". My latest book is "2001 between Kubrick and Clarke: The Genesis, Making and Authorship of a Masterpiece". The title is pretty self-explanatory, but it could be worth saying that it's the first book which analyses all the drafts of the screenplay to chronicle how the story for the film developed, and, by making use of the correspondence between Kubrick and Clarke, for the first time the book explores their intense and sometimes fraught relationship. There are lots of new information for '2001 experts' as well, such as Clarke's involvement in Kubrick's "A.I." project.
I have just finished writing an article about Stephen King and his disappointment with the Kubrick version of "The Shining". I researched it extensively, collating around 50 interviews with King and dozens of books and essays, and I think I have found a rationale behind his never ceasing expressions of dissatisfaction. I hope you all like it. It will be published soon in an online journal, so I'll post the link in the board somewhere.
Many thanks for all of you who kindly greeted me and welcomed my arrival on this group!
Cheers,
