20 Things You Didn't Know About Eyes Wide Shut
7. Kubrick The Perfectionist Part 2
With a shoot lasting for more than four hundred days, Kubrick's perfectionism played a large role in the creation of this unique movie. His reputation for an eye-watering amount of takes is legendary and this didn't just extend to the starring couple.
Actor Vinessa Shaw, who played the role of Domino, was contracted for two weeks and ended up shooting for TWO MONTHS - the insanity didn't end there. Cruise was made to walk a doorway over NINETY FIVE TIMES, all for one simple shot.
Kubrick, according to the Guardian, simply looked up from his monitor and said, "Hey, Tom, stick with me, I'll make you a star."
