TV: Please Do Not Feed the Shapeshifters

Continuing the ongoing coverage of HBO’s forthcoming third season of their vampire drama “True Blood”, below you’ll find the latest poster that displays a slew of pelicans and the tagline, “Please Do Not Feed the Shapeshifters.” The company behind this ad campaign is doing a bang up job and I can only imagine what’s still to come before the show’s premier on June 13.

Criterion’s Complete Kubrick Box Set Will Include Kubrick’s International Version of ‘The Shining’

Published

on

Criterion Collection has announced the upcoming release of The Complete Kubrick Box Set, a 4K + Blu-ray collection that features EVERY SINGLE MOVIE KUBRICK DIRECTED.

“Tracing his evolution from independent maverick to Hollywood rebel to visionary transnational auteur whose every film from the mid-1960s on became a manifesto of a radically new sensibility,” Criterion previews, “The Complete Kubrick brings together the entirety of a body of work that opened popular cinema up to new realms of moral profundity and metaphysical mystery.”

Criterion continues, “Collected for the first time are Kubrick’s thirteen features and three shorts, all restored in 4K, with their original soundtracks alongside the 5.1 mixes, restored and remastered; over twenty-five hours of interviews, documentaries, and behind-the-scenes materials; and deluxe packaging illustrated with rare photographs, artwork, and documents annotated by Kubrick himself, all housed in a singular box inspired by the director’s legendary archive.”

Included in The Complete Kubrick is of course the 1980 horror masterpiece The Shining, but we’re getting more than just the version of the film we’re all deeply familiar with…

Kubrick’s international version of The Shining will also be included in the set, along with a new 4K restoration of Vivian Kubrick’s behind-the-scenes documentary!

The international version of The Shining was cut together by Kubrick for the film’s release outside the United States, and it’s a trimmed down version of the film that runs 115 minutes rather than the standard 144 minutes. Kubrick cut a full 29 minutes out of The Shining in the wake of the film’s U.S. release, and you can watch this video for a rundown of all the changes.

This version of the movie has been released on home video outside the United States, but Criterion’s Complete Kubrick set marks the first time it’s been available on U.S. home video.

The Complete Kubrick will release October 20, 2026. Pre-order yours today.
