There’s an Opera Version of ‘The Shining’ and You Can Stream it Right Now
For as much of a movie and music fan as I am, I honestly can’t stand musicals or operas. 99% of the time, I don’t like the music, I don’t like the lyrics, I don’t like the presentation…I simply don’t like ’em! But every once in a while, one passes me by that stops me in my tracks and makes me think, “Y’know what? I’m okay with this.”
While I haven’t devoted a full listening session to the Minnesota Opera’s presentation of The Shining, I’m already intrigued. After all, it’s a new take on Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novel, which I find to be one of the scariest films of all time. Plus, I’ve been pleasantly surprised by Stage Fright and I find Cannibal: The Musical to be one of the funniest comedies on the planet.
So, I plan on giving this a shot at some point in the near future because Classical MPR has made the entire near-two hour event available to stream. The catch is that you only have until November 30th to listen to it all. So you better hurry if you want to hear Jack epically sing “I’m not gonna hurt ya. I’m just going to bash your brains in! Gonna bash ’em right the fuck in!” If that doesn’t excite you, I don’t know what to say.
To listen to The Shining, simply head on over to ClassicalMPR.org.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
