Stanley Kubrick Special Edition DVD's on the way

by Matt Holmes

The films of Stanley Kubrick are set for the DVD special edition treatment. DVD Times have the Region 1 release date listed as October 23rd with newly restored and remastered editions of some of Kubrick's most loved films, which are set to be full of archive footage and bonus special features. Dubbed the Warner Home Video Director's Series: Stanley Kubrick Collection, the following titles are part of the series... 2001: A Space Odyssey (2-Disc Special Edition) - $26.99 SRP A Clockwork Orange (2-Disc Special Edition) - $26.99 SRP Eyes Wide Shut (2-Disc Special Edition) - $26.99 SRP The Shining (2-Disc Special Edition) - $20.97 SRP Barry Lyndon - $19.97 SRP Lolita - $19.97 SRP Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures (Kubrick Collection 2001 Release) - $19.97 SRP Full Metal Jacket (Deluxe Edition) is also listed but currently only for Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD, though it is listed as part of the complete Warner Home Video Director's Series: Stanley Kubrick Collection which is priced at $79.92 SRP but only includes the Special Edition titles and the A Life in Pictures documentary disc (no Lolita or Barry Lyndon). Artwork below, but it's a little stale...

I've always admired Kubrick but I've never gone crazy over any of his movies, apart from maybe The Shining and some of his earlier and more under-stated flicks. Shame the artwork isn't all that great but those archive footage (and hopefully some commentaries by film critics perhaps?) will make for a nice DVD set.
